The Patriots are trying to solidify their status as the only real competition for the Victoria Vikings in the NC West this week, and at 52-33, they are keeping the pressure on. Offense has regressed to being a massive problem, but the pitching has returned to form in a big way, with Tom Glavine leading the way at 10-5 and a 2.28 ERA, which puts him 3rd in the entire league behind Cy Young (1.96) & Steve Carlton (1.68).
Patriots brass have been racking their brains about how to get their offense going, but have had zero success in the matter. In particular, the team is trying really hard to get new boy Jim Gilliam (.243, 1 HR, 8 RBI) going, as well as underachieving DH Harry Walker (.259, 0 HR, 31 RBI). It is also believed that the team have run out of patience with perennial underachiever Al Dark (.241, 4 HR, 40 RBI). Management is reported to have said that if Dark cannot push his average into the .260's by the end of the season, he will be sold.
