It's May 6. In the Platonic League, Pittsburgh has opened up a 5.5 game lead over its rivals. Frequent trading partner Cairo stands in second, 1.5 games clear of Miami and 2 up on Stockholm.
Meanwhile, in the Socratic League, Marietta clings to a slender half-game lead over Jersey City and New York. Defending champs Brooklyn have closed to within two games of first place and Gainesville stands only another half-game back. With five teams within 2.5 games of the lead, it looks like a wild race in the Hegel Division.
On the injury front, the only injury was a doozy, as Helena lost reliever Martin Volpe for two months to a torn bicep.
In other news ...
Cairo's young catcher William "The Whammer" Byrd and Jersey City's Basil Gomez captured Player of the Week honors.
On May 1, Cairo demonstrated its need for new closer Ariel Santos as it blew a four-run ninth inning lead to Marietta and lost 6-5 in ten innings. Unfortunately, Santos and Desilva are still in transit, apparently stuck on a snag in the river.
On May 2, Maryland's Baltasar Acevedo gave up just one hit in eight innings in a 4-1 victory over Helena.
On May 3, Cairo pounded Jersey City 11-0, featuring eight shutout innings from Bryan Im.
On May 4, Gainesville rode Lenard Ramirez's eight shutout innings to a 5-0 victory over Miami.
On May 5, Stockholm's Robert "Ogre" Mccree and Cairo's Rafael "Cricket" Palermo, two of the most promising prospects in the game, each clubbed two home runs to lead their teams to victory.
In other news, we're hopefully nearing a solution on hosting the web pages for the league. I'll be testing it later tonight, so check the comments.
League file is uploaded. Nate's got the next sim on Monday.

By the way, everyone should thank Brent (Cairo) for the site and for literally walking Nate and I through the process of how to set it up.
I've added a link to both sets of web pages in the upper right corner of the main blog page.
I need pitching, and bad.
I can offer any of my OF not named McCree for an above-average (ERA <4.00) starter or good (ERA <3.25) reliever.
