Week 24 Results - Back 2 Back Edition

STUD OF THE WEEK - Tom Zgela

Back to back studs for Tommy Z, as he was the lone player to pick Josh Hamilton this week, who went off for 10 hits, 4 HRs, and 10 RBIs...(24 pts)...He doesn't have a shot at any year end honors, but he did just climb into 4th place on the money leaders list...not bad for a down year for him...Actually in the past 3 weeks he is hitting .393 with 6 HRs and 22 RBIs....Its been a good run for him, as he also walked his youngest daughter down the aisle this past weekend as well, and I will go ahead and assume that he had a couple cold ones that night as well... Double Congrats Z - Man (Google Pic -Z-Man)

DUDS OF THE WEEK - Biederstedt, Price, People that didn't submit a pick??

Bieder had some bad luck and picked Tulo who got hurt on Monday...one of those years for the Bieder Bunch...Price picked a Rangers outfielder that didnt get an at bats??? He is still shy of the minimum of 550 at bats needed to qualify for the batting title....And then about 4 or 5 people didnt even submit a pick, which is pretty strange...oh well better for the rest of us....

BA RACE-

1st Mathews - .333 Pretty much wrapped up this title unless Price goes off this week...

2nd Price - .320 Could still catch Mathews if he goes 10/20 or something?? No way loses 2nd

3rd Jess Kapcar - .309 Can she hang onto 3rd? The 4 others below are the only ones that I

4th Sigler - .309 ...see catching her

5th Smith - .308

6th Dillaman - .305

7th D Rychener - .303

HR RACE -

1st Punches - 43...1 more HR sets a new RTTC Record...

2nd Wyse - 38....Needs at least 6 in 2 weeks to win, and that assumes Punches hits 0...tough

3rd Riether - 36...1 HR ahead of 5 guys who have 35...gonna be a good race here..5 others have 33 as well that still have a slight hope...

RBI RACE -

1st Riether - 127 - 10 away from breaking the record of 136...Graven still hanging around?

2nd Graven - 119 - Looking for his 1st top 3 finish since 2008

3rd Burger - 116 - Same as Graven...his last top 3 finish was in 08'...in RBIs

5 others have over 110, and 13 others have over 100...all it takes is a 12 spot to make a huge jump
