8/16 Recap - Graven Tops a Hundo

Busy night in RTTC Land, as a bunch of picked players hit dongs...8 by my count...

Studs of the Day - The 5 Cano Owners...
Robby went 2/5 last night with a HR and 4 RBIs...Graven is one of those owners and thus has topped 100 RBIs for the year...He is looking to soon blow past his career high of 111 RBIs from 2008...The RTTC record of 136 could be in jeopardy at this pace...Mathews also picked Cano and is still keeping strong with his average...

OTHER RTTC Picks that HR'd
Punches hit league leading #34 (Bautista's 35th...he had 3 BBs though, so might not get much to hit)
Pujols - ho hum #30
Tulo hit #25
Aramis Ramirez -#22
Ellsbury - (he has 22 HRs?!?!)
Melky Cabrera - #16
Hamilton - #15...something tells me he could end up with 30 this year yet
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This will be the last update of the week as I am heading down to Jacksonville to watch some AA baseball between the Suns and the BayBears the rest of the weekend, and who knows, I may even watch the Jacksonville Sharks Arena Bowl Championship parade...how fun would that be?!

Week 19 Recap - Lucky #7



STUDS OF THE WEEK - Punches, AF Sunderman, Graven, Willie, Price, Brink, Curlis



These guys all went with Justin Upton this week and he responded by going 13/27 with 3 HRs and 7 RBIs...(23 pts) This is Price and Brink's 3rd SOTW, Punches, Graven, Willie's 2nd SOTW, and the 1st for Sunday and Curlis... Punches is now tied for 1st in HRs with 33, and Graven now leads RBIs with 98...will he be the 1st to 100 this year?? Congrats you guys split the $50, $7.14 each...big bucks (Google Pic - Lucky 7)


DUDS OF THE WEEK - Brooks



Troy Boy got the shaft this week as Beltran didn't play due to an injury...so that is an obvious 0 pt week...Technically 0 pts is worse than 1 pt, but Mark Reynolds went 1-26 this week...so for that, Ty Meyer and Tim Guelde get the honorable mention Duds...
