4/14 Recap

Might as well change this to the daily Tulowitzki update or better yet instead of Stud of the Day:

Tulo of the Day - The Rox played a double header yesterday, so naturally Tulo hit 2 HRs...1 in each game..so on the day he was 5/8, 2HR, and 2RBI, already has 7 on the year....Matt Kemp also with a very nice day...

Dating back to last season, T2 has 23 HRs in his last 38 games...just dumb

4/13 Recap

Trivia of the Day - What does AJ Burnett, Dan Haren, and Jered Weaver have that the Boston Red Sox don't? Answer below...

Stud of the Day - Troy Tulowitzki Owners...Tulo went 3/4. HR, 3 RBIs and is off to a very nice start for the Rockies as they beat the Mets last night 5-4...

Other notable RTTC picks....ARod and Russell "the love muscle" Branyan went deep as well and had very productive games...

Answer: 3 wins

4/12 Recap - Rain Outs, Hamilton Out

Yesterday there were 3 rain outs taking out action, never a good thing when your pick misses at bats, but that means there will be some double-headers down the road for certain teams...Speaking of missing at bats....

The Week 2 I Got Screwed Award goes to....Doug Krauss...I bet he wasn't thinking that Josh Hamilton was going to slide into home head first and break his arm/shoulder (at least wait until Saturday to do that)...and he will miss at least 2 months...the early week injury streak is now at 2....who will be week 3???

Studs of the Day - The Hunter Pence Owners - 3/5, 4 RBIs...nice little 7 pt day there against the lowly Cubs...

Week 1 Recap - Wyse Guy

Week 1 (and a half) is in the books and was the longest "week" in RTTC history. I really thought though there would be a lot more inflated stats because of that, but it wasn't too bad....No weekly records were broken except for the most at bats, which is now 42, by Ty Meyer...Now for the S+Ds...

STUD OF THE WEEK - Josh Wyse

The rookie went with Paul Konerko and he was 14/35, with 3 HRs and 11 RBIs, a total of 28 pts...This is the 2nd straight year that the 1st Stud is a rookie and wins it outright...The Prince Fielder Club just missed a share of the SOTW as they finished with 27 pts....step your game up....Wyse, congrats on the $50 start to your RTTC career...(Google Pic "wyse"- Rookies, this is also a tradition here at RTTC...whoever wins the SOTW I will just enter a part of their name into Google Images and post what appears...it is quite random, and I enjoy it)

DUDS OF THE WEEK - Glenn Badenhop, Matt Badenhop

This was mentioned last monday on the update that they both picked Longoria who got hurt in the 2nd game and finished the week 0-5...tough luck...Dud runners up goes to Chris Mathews who got only 2 pts this week..rough

Average - There are 8 guys currently over .400 to start the year, I say by week 3, there will be 0. There are 10 under .200...

HRs - Sunderman with an impressive 5 HRs in the 1st week...15 guys still looking for their 1st long ball...

RBIs - 7 guys over 10 already...3 (all mentioned in the Dud section looking to get numero uno this week...

We are off and running and don't be surprised by the Tribe start...I failed to mention last week why they would make the playoffs this year:

#1 - Orlando Cabrera has mad the playoffs the last 4 years....all with different teams

#2 - The last 5 times the ground hog saw its shadow, the Tribe has made the playoffs...I can't make that up....google it...

Good Luck in week 2, get picks in by 12:35PM EST...
