Signorino:  Maui leads by seven games.
Wild Card:  Brooklyn leads Brick by three games.

Awards & Accomplishments:
Houston 1B Nigel Bryant named Player of the Week (7/3) (again? -- for those keeping score, that's three Player of the Week and two Player of the Month awards this season.)
Nigel Bryant hits for the cycle and goes 5 for 6 (7/9)
London's Raul Ortega named Player of the Week (7/10)

Are You Aware...?:
...that Nigel Bryant is hitting .382 with 33 home runs, 72 RBI, 72 walks and an OPS of 1.220 and an OPS of 214?  Yeah, that means that his OPS is more than twice the league average.  His WAR is 8 -- and it's only (slightly past) midseason!

Shackamaxon 2B John Grondin will miss 6 weeks with a torn ankle ligament.
London will be without Brian Frison for four weeks as he rehabilitates a fractured thumb.
Antelope Valley 3B Lawrence Richardson tore his meniscus and will be out for six weeks.
Jorge Hernandez will not be in the Armadillos lineup for about six weeks with shoulder tendinitis.
Reliever Merlin Bohon will be missing from the New York bullpen for two to three months with elbow tendinitis.
Houston will be missing Peter Roberts for three weeks.

Next sim: Next Sunday.  The next sim will only go to July 30, so as to allow for an extra week of trading.
