Pitching Report: Week 26

     Wow.  And just like that, the season is over.  This is it — the final week.  I’ll spare all the cliches and just say, if you’re still looking here for pitching ideas, then power to you.  It means you’re still in the hunt and that’s something to be amazingly proud of.  It’s a long and grueling season and the fact that you’re at the top of your roto standings or sitting in the championship game in your head to head league means that you’ve done more than just an admirable job.  So without further ado, here’s a look at the 2 start pitchers this week.  I’ve skipped the Side Notes section this week.  I’m sure you all know my reasons for ranking the pitchers the way I have.  Good luck and I’ll see you all in the money this year!!!
