We're only three weeks into the season, but I'm pretty sure we've never had five people so tightly bunched in 1st thru 5th this late, with only 26 points separating them, and four people between 2nd and 5th only 6 points apart.

(Once again, and for the future, the pitcher's W-L record in parentheses is his team's record in games he has started, not the pitcher's indivudual W-L mark)

PL is plodding along as he tries to prove last year was a fluke.... TM still (suprisingly) hasn't missed any days.... GG's "steal" of Carpenter didn't work out, but she remains scorching hot.... CC climbed back to 4th with day's high score.... DB was only 9 points off day's high, yet he dropped two spots in this very tight race.... JG's "Curse of the Pork" strikes Tom Glavine.... JL tied for day's high, but still has a long way to go; Fortunately for him, there is.... DC's Chacin pick today is at least questionable.... SC is still fighting off his 3-day late start, but even if you give him an additional 120 points or so... .... and LZ just seems to not want to get into the game.
