May 1

The injury bug bites the Makers again. Madson, my only potential closer, kicked a chair and broke his toe. Kelly Johnson, who hit nine homers in April, leads the Makers along with Paul Konerko, who hit eleven homers in April.

The Makers will need Jorge De La Rosa to get healthy as soon as possible in order to have a strong five-man rotation. James Shields struck out twelve in seven innings this week, and Matt Garza picked up another win this week.

Standings after the month of April:

1. Russ 1609

2. Steamers 1601

4. Makers 1575

17. Plan 1195

18. Deep 1193

I will try to update again before the end of May.
