he is only 9 points ahead of a team that is "perennially rebuilding" and 
dumped its roster two months ago.  That must be cause for concern....

Holy cow!  The truth is that I really hadn't noticed.  Makes one truly 
appreciate how disappointing this season has been.  

Upon reflection, however, I owe Mark B an apology.  The Block's Bombers do 
not annually rebuild.  A team that was "perennially rebuilding" would actually 
challenge for a title once in a blue moon.  And that just wouldn't be a fair 
characterization of the Bomber's performance.  Nor would a rebuilding team have 
a roster with a salary of 252 and include 6 asterisk players (and 3 free 
agents) among its active players.  And, most importantly, a rebuilding team 
wouldn't have left Greinke on the table.  

So, out of respect to the Bomber's, I  wish to strike my use of the term 
"perennially rebuilding" and substitute the phrase "perennially driving to a 
middle of the pack finish".

Happy 4th of July to everyone.
