Hi again, everyone! The team is a garbage fire, just like at this time last year! It's time we look at the NUMBERS to find out what's REALLY GOING ON here. Or just make fun of how crappy our team is, whichever works for you.

OBLIGATORY LINKS TO LAST YEAR'S EDITIONS, THE FIRST OF WHICH CONTAINS A LINK TO EDITIONS FROM YEARS PAST:

Volume One

Volume Two

Volume Three

Anyway, here are some stats. They are all bad except the last one. This was hastily put together after realizing that the Twins have an afternoon game today that they could win 23-0 and screw up all my stats (ha ha! (weeps softly)), so I apologize if the formatting is crappier than usual.
