8/4 Recap - 2LO

Stud of the Day - Troy Tulowitzki

Tulo went 3/4, HR and and RBI as the Rox beat the Nats...The 3 hits is just business as usual for the RTTC BA Leader, Chris Mathews...if he can continue to get multi hit games a couple times a week, it may be tough to catch him...So far this week Mathews is 4/12...good for .333, his season avg entering this week - .332

Other HRs

Only other RTTC HR was big Al Pujols, who hit his 25th of the year...he was picked by 3 thre players this week...

8/3 Recap - Huge Night

STUD OF THE DAY - Michael Cuddyer

Clark Carroll with the big night...2/5, 2HR, 5RBI...9 pointer...Clark is still within striking distance if he stays hot for a couple of weeks...should be in contention for SOTW this week

Other Notable Picks

Granderson - 4/6, 5 RBIs...

Cano - 3/5, HR, 4 RBIs...

Howard also HR'd for the 3rd time this week...

8/1 Recap - Cabrera Crushin'

Stud of the Day - Asdrubal Cabrera (Evgeni Malkin look-alike)

He was only picked by Krista Krauss, as she said "He will be big for the Tribe this week during a rough stretch in Boston and Texas...can't go against the Tribe this week"... (even though she didn't watch a single pitch last night)...anyways he went 3-5 with 2 HRs and 4 RBIs...nice 9 pointer to start the week there KJ...

Week 17 Recap - BAs Going Up

Big week for alot of players raising their average...11 of the 26 players picked this week had at least 10 hits...The top dogs were...

STUDS OF THE WEEK - Burger, Williamson

These guys both went with Adrian Gonzalez who went 14/27 with a HR and 8 RBIs (23pts)...That shot Burger up 18 pts to .300 and is now in the top 10, definately with a shot to finish high in BA...he is also tied for 6th in RBIs now...big moving week for CB...Willie shot his avg up 16 pts to a respectable .276, He still has some work to do there, but he is only 8 RBIs back of 3rd place with 77, which is easily reachable...Congrats on the $25 each fellas...it can go towards each of your wedding plans....(Google Pic - WB)

DUDS OF THE WEEK - M Badenhop, Sigler

Not very often will the guy you picked hit .333 for the week and still be the dud...B McCann went 2-6 this week, but then got hurt, so this is a tough luck pick for sure...It is the 2nd time this year that Badenhop has gotten the early week injury...Of the 2...Sigler has the best shot in BA, as he is currently in 9th place at .301, up from .300 last week...Not too bad of a dud week at all

Josh Wyse - .272, 29 HR, 79 RBIs

Curtis Granderson - .269, 28 HR, 78 RBIs

Todd Guelde - .281, 20 HR, 73 RBIs
