Can't figure out the score looking at the site. Assuming Davis has helped you gain ground. Time for my team to get ready for the dog days.
Do I get to subtract your Braun homers?

Oh Yeah, Baseball!
Channel surfing recently I came across the MLB All-Star game. Who knew baseball was going on? I am too focused on the Tour de France. Anyways seems a shame this kid Puig is not on a roster. So I am picking him up minus his 8 homers and dropping Stanton and his 10.

Vince Visigoths making multiple moves
Matt Kemp (2 HR) and fat Ryan Howard (7 HR) out.
Dominic Brown (-15) and Chris Davis (-19) in.
Brown and Davis each cranked out 10 HR in May, while Kemp and Howard have lingered due to injuries. There is always a risk of "buying high", but the case for the momentum is strong also.
"Hard to cut those two players, but this format and Greg's large lead leave me no choice," said coach Vince. "I would be shocked if Kemp did not appear on my roster later this season."

STANDINGGS: Extra G cuz Greg has a huge lead
May wrapped up and there is no "may" about it, Greg has a large lead.
Greg leads 99-79 in the 2013 HR Contest and has made no transactions, a sign of deft drafting.
20 dingers after two months is a very large lead even for his standards this early in the season.
Looking under the top-line numbers, Greg's squad has an OPS of .909, more than 100 points better than Vince's Visigoths at .798.
Check out this graph - teams were even entering May, but Miguel Cabrera jacked 13 and others just took off for Greg:
all this, and Greg didn't even have Giancarlo Stanton produce anything while on DL.

Automated stats? HomeRunContest moves into the 20th Century...
After an off year, I decided to try again to see if one of the major fantasy providers would allow us to set up a 2-team, 1-category, no-position-limit and libertarian-free-agency league.
This traditionally has been a folly - what major media outlet thinks anyone plays the game this way?
Yahoo! does. Yahoo!
Stay tuned, I think the main obstacle will be to get Greg to create a team and an Y! profile...
UPDATE: Main obstacles overcome...Greg needed an hour for his second profile - in setup, Y! said max 4 teams but in practice minimum 4 teams, so Greg and I each setup a fake account that we filled with small speedsters with culturally-interesting names.
RETROACTIVE STATS START WED APR 10! GAME ON!
