I'm not traditionally an overly superstitious type. Still, to avoid any sort of self-recrimination should my speaking prematurely bring down a reign of havoc over the stretch run, I am going to play it safe here and add no commentary about our performance. The numbers will tell you all you need to know. PS It's not just us I don't want to jeopardise, but any number of special seasons currently playing out around the league.




These are our overall stats - they tell you how we have gone as a team. Now, here are our batting stats.




They show you the individual performances of our hitters so far. Now for the pitching stats.




They show you the individual performances of our pitchers so far. There we go, no fate-tempting whatsoever. I feel much better now.




Still plenty of live tickets in this lottery.
