No surprise the aging creaky guys lead baseball with 111 GIDP, 78 by guys older than 30. ML average is 82, best is Arizona with 59. Bautista batting .191 in late/close, with team BA close to average. Despite 25 HR & 60 RBI, both leading ML, JB has contribute 2HR & 8 RBI in late/close. Also 14 GIDP, second to Morales 18.

Liriano lauded for mediocrity, with game ERA in his "quality start" of 4.50, which is team average and average for 71 qualifying pitchers. His ERA is 10 points worse than #71 of qualifiers. Wow, Cy Young reincarnated.

Revere showed benefit of speed with his score on sac fly to pretty shallow CF. With Pearce in LF making Shannon Stewart's arm look like Barfield,'s the opposing runners have a field day.

Maybe the ChiSox will lay down, as a 39-19 record for the last 58 seems unlikely, to reach the 87 wins that might be needed for WC, using current percentages.
