Races
I realize there's only 2 races worth paying attention to (NLW and which 2 ALE teams make it) but where's the activity? I'm dying here at work with nothing to comment on all day. There's only been 3 new news at Rotoworld all day, did I miss some catastrophe outside the cubicle walls?

I'm trying my hardest to keep it a race...but the Dodgers are a better team right now.
Being 3 GB is half luck, and half busting my ass to make things happen.
If only there were a Wild Card race to keep things interesting, but DJ Etan had to go take a month off and still let his team win a bunch of games.
I've certainly tried to make some moves since July.. but time constraints has also hampered my efforts.
That & most every deal I try to accomplish has had the other party asking for players essential to my chances this year.
The few deals that did materialize and were given a lot of consideration also came with a great deal of risk. The reward could have been great... but it also could have blown up in my face. Ultimately, I decided not to pull the trigger in those cases & now the landscape has changed.
Anyway, I have decided its not wise to handcuff myself for future seasons as well since JP is gearing up, & Aaron & Gabe are also known and proven threats. NLC will remain, as always, one helluva divison. There is still some time to make some changes... even catch Aaron & win this thing.. but I'm not going to sell my future short either.. especially since I believe I have a ballclub that, in spite of maybe being the WC representation, could very easily be representing the NL in the IBC World Series.

3 game sweep over first place Dodgers...
still 3 GB with 3/5 of my pitching staff on the DL.
But also still have 3 more games at Dodger stadium before it's all said and done.
