League News
TJ reclaims first place from Colin with a 9-1 beat down, Jarrett is following up his breakout 2014 campaign with an even better 2015, and the murky middle shuffle positions.
We only got 5 responses on the spreadsheet for the Red Sox game. Thanks to Adrian, Colin, James, and TJ for chiming in. As stated in last week's TCC, there are no games when we can all make it. Here are the 6 games with the best attendance per those 5 responders:
Friday 7/24 vs Detroit (No Richie or Colin, only game TJ can go to)
Friday 7/31 vs Tampa Bay (No Richie or TJ)
Friday 8/14 vs Seattle (No TJ or Colin, James already going)
The entire Labor Day series (Friday-Sunday) vs Philadelphia (No Adrian or TJ)
Alex, Ben, Kurt, Tim, Jarrett, if you're interested let us know. If not, I will stop trying to make this happen.

Milestones and Historical Perspective
Jarrett beat Richie 7-3 in one of the closest matches of the season. With the result, both managers sit at 1,299 career wins.
In last week's "Hey, look at this!" segment we saw each team's 2015 weekly record. Here's a look at our career weekly records (not including data from 2002-2003, includes this year's results):
Congratulations Tim, you've nearly returned Paul to his rightful place at the bottom of every statistical analysis we can run. You're a couple of weeks away from passing him on the Career Wins list - more on that as we get closer. Miscellaneous other things:
My team apparently lacks the ability to tie. Tim got his third tie in his 13th career week; I got my third tie in my 97th career week.
Ben won 17 of his 22 matches in 2010, a league record that TJ (9-1-3) is on track to beat this season.
Adrian (2010), Richie (2013), and Drew (2013) are the only managers to win less than 4 matches in a year (they all won 3), though Adrian's 3-17-2 record stands as the worst all-time.

Hey, look at this!
This is our brand new segment called "Hey, look at this!" where I find mildly interesting stats and present them to you in a way that may or may not mildly interest you.
Jarrett is on pace to post the second best winning percentage across a two year span in league history. His current .583 winning percentage over the 2014-15 seasons is just above Alex's .576 across the 2013-2014 seasons. He will have to finish on a tear to catch Ben's .600 winning percentage from 2005-2006.
Incentives
WWE Belt
Payouts: $50 at the All-Star Break (week 15), $75 at the end of the regular season
Belt holder: TJ crushes Colin 9-1 and puts himself just 5 categories away from a $50 payday**. The last obstacle in his way is none other than defending champion and sexiest manager alive, Richie. TJ has successfully defended the belt once through the rotation (he's beaten everyone once); it's time to bust up this party.
**TJ will not receive $50 as he is the only member yet to pay his league dues
Shutout Pool
Week 14 pot: $40
TJ put up 9 categories against Colin but lost SB by a wide margin. And despite an 8-2 loss, Alex walloped Kurt by 34 strikeouts to protect himself from immortality.
