9/14 Recap - Z Man Going For Back 2 Back

STUD OF THE DAY - JOSH HAMILTON

He only had 1 hit last night but it was a big one...a grand slam, so he had a nice 6 pt night...Zgela(who was a STUD last week) was the lone picker of Hamilton this week and already has 12 pts on the week (4 hits, 2 HRs, 6 RBIs)...Zgela may go back2back??

9/13 Recap - BoSox Strike for 18 Runs

STUD OF THE DAY - Jacoby Ellsbury
He was 4/5. HR, and 3 RBIs last night as the Sox put up 18 runs...Tim Krauss was the only one to pick him this week and he is in the running for a top 3 finish in HRs and RBIs....he now has 33 HRs and 108 RBIs on the season...T-Bag is MR Consistant...in his 3 RTTC years he has been an all star 3 times and has over 30 HRs and 100 RBIs in each as well... impressive

...Everyone missed out on the other Sox player from last night who went 4/5, 2 HRs and 5 RBIs...yeah Pedroia put up an 11 spot which ranks on ESPN as the 4th best single game performance of the year.... http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/topperformers , and no one picked him...

Week 23 Results - Chasing the Top

STUDS OF THE WEEK - ZGELA, EMMONS, WYSE

These guys all went with Ellsbury who went 13/32. 2 HR, 6 RBIs (21 pts) The Z Man gets on the board finally after having a rough year...Emmons has his 2nd SOTW in the past 3 weeks, and is only 4 HRs away from 2nd place...Wyse with his 3rd SOTW on the year, and is now the overall money leader on the year so far at $116.66...He also is right in the hunt in HRs and RBIs...could be a very nice payday for Wyse in a couple weeks...(Google Pic - ZEW)

DUD OF THE WEEK - ROACH

Roach continued his streak of picking Tribe players and Grady Sizemore didn't dissapoint...He had a big affect on the Tribe lineup coming back from the DL last week...He did have a big RBI, in 15 at bats...but, you and I both had as many hits last week..yep 0...

LEADERS PULLING AWAY -

BA - Mathews up 20 pts on Price with 3 weeks to go(2.5 really since week 26 is a shorty) at .340...he just has to avoid a big bust week like an 1-25 or something...Price is in a similar boat in 2nd place as he up 9 pts on Jess Kapcar...7 others are above .303 and are in the mix for a spot in the top 3...(ML LEADER - A GONZALEZ - .339)

HR - Big Punches pulling away much like his beloved Detroit Kitties with a career hi 40 HRs...can he get 4 more and break the RTTC single season record? 4 others are tied for second at 35...and about 15 others within shouting distance of 3rd... - (MLB LEADER - BAUTISTA 41)

RBIs- Riether pulling away here with 121 RBIs...8 ahead of Graven and 9 ahead of Mathews...15 others have over 100 and have a legit shot at a top3 finish...RBIs can pile up in a hurry, all it takes is someone with a 13 RBI week to shoot up the board...(see Mathews last week with 11) (MLB LEADER - HOWARD 112)
