Near Mid-Season Standings

With about a week to go until the All-Star break it is appropriate to review the league standings as they are currently situated. From The Kurt Bevormos standpoint, things are not pretty. If this was the Premier League the Bevormos would be hanging out on the precipice of relegation, destined to spend next season in some lesser league where they would likely find a way to once again finish in last place.

As Vonnegut once wrote, so it goes.

For other teams, however, the phrase "dream season" comes to mind. O'Flannel's Skillz That Killz team is winning so many categories, he recently petitioned the league to add more categories ... just so he can win them. Geleaux's Operation Shutdown gains 3 points in the standings every time his marquee pitcher, Pedro Martinez, gets bombed. And Tatt Mareeco's Committee has had only marginally less success than his beloved Tigres. Rumors that Mareeco has hired Jim Leyland as Special Consultant to his fantasy team are entirely true.

Here are the current standings:
