- Kyoto stopped it's slump with a 3 game sweep in Cleveland. The Bushido also handed rookie phenom Mike Wolmers his first loss; the Dawg hurler got thumped for 13 hits and 11 runs in 7 innings. Kyoto is back in a percentage point tie with Osaka for first in the Far East.
- Taipei, on the other hand, continues to plummet, having lost 7 in a row and 9 of their last 10 to fall 15 under .500 and 8 out of the division lead. Injuries and terrible pen work have contributed to the streak.
- Scotland and Ireland continue to duke it out in the Euro Division. The Rebels are still in first place, but by just one game over the Invaders, who have won 8 of 10. If Ireland can nail down a 5th starter, they may be the team to beat (but thus far, Escobar, Stryker and Phillips have failed to hold onto the role).
- Is this the best year ever for rookie hitters? Three rookies are in the top 10 in hitting (Bedford's Don Erickson tops the list, with Ireland's Chmolak and San Juan's Proly in the list), while Proly and Kyoto's Luke Daughetry are in the top 10 in RBI.
- Halifax has suddenly turned into an offensive juggernaut, and no pitcher on the staff has benefited from it more than lefty Michael Tentilucci. He's 6-0 despite an ERA that only just dipped below 5.00, while allowing a .315 OpAvg and a fat WHIP.
- Miguel Caberera's injury last week may have cost him some career milestones this year. The 36 year old third baseman is 104 hits shy of 3000, 14 doubles short of 900, 93 runs short of 1500, and 5 RBI shy of 1500.
- Dontrelle Willis is 2 wins shy of 200.
- How bad is London's AAA team? The Queens pitching staff has 4 of the top 10 leaders in losses, as Mewes and Boswell have 8 losses each, and Amin and Hankins have 7. The team is 10-39 on the year.
