I haven't seen standings on here this season.  I think this is an interesting league and I like to follow.  I may consider joining at some point.

Following a disappointing loss on the road to the Atoms (why is it we only lose when our opponent is the highest scoring team in the league?), we head off to Raleigh, North Carolina to take on the Griffins. The Griffins have been struggling to this point this season, but we're not going to take it easy on them. We're getting star hitter Kyle Schwarber back from his injury, and we're featuring longtime Bison catcher, Willson Contreras this week, who paced the team last week with 8 total hits from 3 singles, 2 doubles, and 3 home runs. He had 4 runs himself while driving in 8. He also tacked on 5 walks, a stolen base, and got hit by a pitch as well! #WeAreOK

Who won the All-Star Game? Who cares? It's back to real baseball that actually matters, baby! The Atoms hit the road yet again to visit the New York Blackbirds for, shockingly enough, the first time this year. While we've built up a 2.5 game lead on the rest of the NL, the Blackbirds are embroiled in a five-team battle for the final three playoff spots, with no fewer than four other teams within half a game of them. That obviously makes this game really important for them, so the pressure will be on. Modeling the standard roadies for this one is 3B/OF Matt Vierling, who hasn't failed to reach base in a game since Independence Day, and doubled thrice and homered once to drive in 06 runs against Chicago. #03dTimesTheCharm #UpAndAtom

The All-Star break is behind us now, as we coasted to a win over the Deacons to maintain the 1 game gap between us and the Bison in the AL. We'll continue on our holiday as we travel down to the southernmost point in the league to take on the Havana Cubans. They've been on a skid since starting the season 3-0 (partially thanks to us handing them their first loss of the year), and looking to turn things around with possible revenge. Featured this week is one of our many all-stars, relief pitcher Griffin Jax, who has accumulated 7 saves, 15 holds, and a 1.91 ERA in 42.1 innings pitched. #Thunderstruck

Coming out of the All-Star Break, the Bison were swinging some hot bats, as we broke the single game scoring record with a huge score. But that doesn't mean we're going to slow down. We're going to head back to Bricktown and welcome in the Detroit Deacons. Things haven't gone as expected for the Deacons this season, but we're not going to look past them. We're going to be in the standard home uniforms this week, and are featuring Starting Pitcher Brady Singer. Brady had a phenomenal week against the Squirrels, with 14 innings pitched, striking out 12, not allowing an earned run, and notching a pair of quality starts and wins. #WeAreOK
