6/9 Recap - J Ham

This weeks consensus pick of Josh Hamilton (picked 7 times) did not disapoint last night as he went 2/4, with a HR and RBI, but the Rangers lost to the surging Twins...Kemp, Konerko, Berkman and Cruz also HRed last night...

Guest Blogger - Joe Kapcar

Hello fellow sport fans. This is guest blogger Joe Kapcar . I want to congratulate my Delphos St. Johns Blue Jays on making it to the state semi finals in high school boys baseball. Yet again, DSJ has
proven its self a dominate force in high school sports.

My last comment is it comment on the outstanding performance that Jessica Ceritelli is displaying with a batting average of .295, 14 homeruns, and 37 RBIs. She will be shortly changing her last name to Kapcar, because we will be getting married on June 11, followed with a trip to the Grand Caymans to drink, relax, and drink. Thanks to all of our friends who be attending the wedding and we look forward to celebrating with you.

Before I forget, there is a HUGE sweater vest sale, here in Columbus, along with cheap cars.

Good luck and GO NOTRE DAME

Week 10 Preview

Only 19 different players picked this week...one of the lowest totals of the year....

Two guys from Texas recently off the DL were the 2 most picked players this week:

J Hamilton - 7

N Cruz - 6

M Kemp - 6

R Braun - 5

Last Night's Top Performer:

Nelson Cruz was 2/4 with 2 HRs and 4 RBIs...always good to get the week off to a good start...this guy seems to hit HRs in bunches, so expect more from him this week...Cowan is one of the 6 to pick Cruz, and now has 19 HRs on the year tied w/ Wyse...

**There were no late picks this week: Wyse picked Bautista, C Jones picked Kemp and Perrotta picked Bruce...just missed their emails**

Week 9 Results

Big week for many of you out there...and some bad luck out there as well...

STUDS OF THE WEEK - Punches, Stout, Banks, Cowan, Price, C Jones, G Badenhop

One of the biggest weeks of the year as these guys all went (before this week struggling) Al Pujols...All he did was go 12/27, 5 HRs and 10 RBIs...including walk off bombs Saturday and Sunday...This is Banks, Stout, and Badenhop's 2nd SOTW of the year...Stout has now taken over the BA lead at .327...Cowan is now 2nd in HRs at 17....and Stout is now 4th in RBIs with 49...C Jones may be getting his MVP form back from last year as he doubled his HR total this week to 10....Congrats on the big week and the $7.14...lunch is paid for today...(Google Pic - Super 7)

DUDS OF THE WEEK - Burger

One of the couple of people who got hurt by some bad luck this week was Burger...In the first AB of the week from Soriano, he pulled his quad and finished the week at 0/1....The Monday injury strikes again...Tim Guelde and Doug Krauss also with some bad luck with Holliday and Kubel...at least hey got some hits first....its a part of the game, and nothing you can do about it...
