MVP AND ROOKIE OF THE YEAR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING SOON

1 WEEK TO GO!

And down the stretch they come....

STUDS...BRENT PUNCHES, JEREMY WHITTLESEY

... .328, 2HR, 8RBI...Whittlesey may have just sealed the HR championship, and is all of a sudden only 2 RBI behind TKrauss for the RBI Title...Can JWhitt close out a MVP season???(Google Pic..Jeremy Punches)

DUD...CLARK CARROLL

... .048, 0HR, 3RBI...since wk 16, when he was at .311, he has gone only .232...not a very strong 2nd half for CC...but alot better than last season...

BA

Bindel gained 4pts last week on Hernandez and is now up 10pts with 7 days to go....it would take something crazy to happen for him to lose this one..looks like 3rd is gonna come down to Herlihy, Persinger and Tim Guelde...

HR

Whittlesey has a 2HR lead over Brooks at 43...how high will he set the bar?? 3rd place looks to be between Sunderman and 4 others that are within 2 of him at 37...

RBI

Tim Krauss saw his lead shrink to 2 this week as Whittlesey closed the gap to 131-129...Zgela is at 117 for 3rd with 5 others within 4 of him...

100th Post

See yesterdays post....but change 39 to 40....JWhitt taking control of the HR race

Jayson Werth the Pick

Whittlesey takes the lead in HR with his 39th of the yr last as Werth leaves the yard.

WEEK 22 RESULTS

STUD OF THE WEEK...BRENT WILLIAMSON

.321, 3HR, 12RBI...Willie with a big week puts him up to 4th place in RBIs with 103..20 behind the leader TKrauss....last 2 weeks 18 RBI for him..(GOOGLE PIC...B WILLIE)

DUD OF THE WEEK... Neil Cowan, Jodi Biederstedt.

.118, 0HR, 0RBI...last years, co-HR champ Jodi B is 7 back from the leaders in HRs...so time is running out on her to defend her half of the crown...Cowan pretty much ranks out as average in all 3 categories....he would need a miracle last month to place in the top 3...

BA RACE...Bindel has finally overtaken Hernandez by 1 pt at .334-.333...Hernandez led BA since week 4

HR RACE...Brooks and Whittlesey are all tied at 38...could we have a split HR champ again this year?

RBI RACE..Tim Krauss has a commanding 10RBI lead in this one over Whittlesey...4 more and he breaks the single season record at 127

WEEK 21 RESULTS

STUDS OF THE WEEK: Zeitz, TKrauss, Whittlesey, Prigge

.393, 5HR, 12RBI....HUGE week for these guys...TKrauss and JWhitt, now find themselves 1-2 in RBIs...Prigge is 5th..Whitt is also tied for 1st in HR...making a strong case for Rookie of the year and MVP...Zeitz starting to heat up...like last year, when we called him Mr September...may be too late for him though...Google Pic-ZKWP

DUDS OF THE WEEK, KKrauss, Tim Guelde

.000 0HR 0RBI...Ichiro was supposed to play this week, but could not make it on the field...day-to day all week...tough break for these two, which leads me to....

STAT THAT MAY ONLY AMAZE ME AGAIN..KKrauss is 1-3 in his last 3 weeks!!!! What are the chances of picking 3 straight players who get hurt that week!?!?

HOT

Zeitz... .393 8HR, 17RBI last 2 weeks

Persinger..... .418 last 3 weeks

TKrauss 24 RBI last 3 weeks

NOT

KKrauss.... .178 0HR 5RBI last 6 weeks(has to be worst stretch in RTTC history)

WEEK 20 RESULTS

Alright, I am getting back into the swing of things...after countless Dos Equis, and about 3 layers of skin on my shoulders, I am ready to dive back into RTTC...here we go....

STUD OF THE WEEK: JOE KAPCAR

.462 4HR, 9RBI.......Kapcar with a big week, but he is gonna need a couple more of these if he is gonna cash a check come october.(PIC...KapTruck)

DUDS OF THE WEEK: Ty Meyer, Kyle Krauss, Brent Williamson, Jeremy Whittlesey

0-2..............Wow...the monday injury attacks again, and in the thick of the RTTC strecth run...all 4 of these guys still have a very good shot at $$...this could be a week that haunts them..

STAT THAT MAY ONLY AMAZE ME

Last 2 weeks...Kyle Krauss has gone 1-3...

Sunderman...last 3 weeks..9HR

Zgela...33RBI last 4 weeks

SGuelde.... .179 last 3 weeks..(PS...just sent her pick in, oh and her water broke about an hr ago...trooper)...GOOD LUCK GUELDES!

WEEK 18 RESULTS

This is a week that could be the turning point of the 2009 season. We had 4 players come up with a 7 day output that may never be duplicated for a long time...Our BA leader went 1-18 and lost 13 points on his lead...what a week it was...that brings us to.....

STUDS OF THE WEEK: ZGELA, BROOKS, WHITTLESEY, HERLIHY

.448, 6HR, 10RBI...Arguably the best week in RTTC history...what makes it even bigger the top 2 HR leaders before the week started pulled this off. Brooks and JWhitt now have a commanding lead on the rest of the HR field...Herlihy is now 3rd in HR and 2nd in RBIs....Zgela just gave himself new life as he just 2HR shy of 3rd place...the 6HRs in the week is a new RTTC record....Brooks now stands at 5th place on the single season HR Record....with 8 weeks to go...4 more HRs and he is the new champ, unless JWhitt passes him....this could be a McGwire-Sosa-ish HR finish. (Google Pic- Six)

DUDS OF THE WEEK: ROSSI, KAPCAR, S. GUELDE, DAVE KRAUSS, HERNANDEZ

.056, 0HR, 0RBI....On the opposite end of the spectrum than the STUDS...these guys really struggled this week getting only 1 hit(1-18)...the biggest news of this group is that Hernandez dropped 13 points in his BA lead and is now at .336....Bindel stayed steady at .322 in 2nd place...

STAT THAT MAY ONLY AMAZE ME

There were those four STUDS that had 6 HRs this week...Zorn has had 8....ALL YEAR!!

3 UP

Leonard... .412 last 5 weeks...raised BA 37 pts in that time

Brooks 26 hits last 2 weeks...25RBI last 3 weeks

Cowan...8HR last 3 weeks....11 total, prior that

3 DOWN

KKrauss... .171 0HR - 5RBI...last 3 weeks

Josh Biederstedt... .194 1HR - 8RBI..last 5 weeks

Laymon...8RBI last 4 weeks

8-6 POD

Ryan Zimmerman with the huge night...4-4, HR, 3RBI...That is BIG for Tim Krauss, the Virginian that went with the local Nationals star...on a side note....Brooks and JWhitt HR again so the HR lead is at 31

8-4-POD

PUJOLS, with 2 bombs last night, but no one took him this week...only 8 people left that can take big AL though...could be some strategic moves coming up...after 2 days this week..Adam Donkey Dunn and Mark HRorK Reynolds have both hit 2 dongs...5 people took one of those two including our HR leaders Brooks and JWhitt..they now have 30, and 29

WEEK 8 RESULTS

STUD OF THE WEEK: KYLE KRAUSS

.333-4HR-10RBI...In a somewhat average week for everyone...KK was the only one to get 4 HRs and is now only 4 behind the leader with 14. He is well ahead of his pace last yr when he hit 32 HRs. (Google Pic- KK)

DUD OF THE WEEK: DAVE KRAUSS, TIM GUELDE

2-10, 0HR-1RBI...Dave and Tim had a rough week and only got 10 ABs. This is the 2nd time DK has had an injury come up in his week, but last years batting champ is still around .315. If he keeps that up, he will be in the hunt come September. Tim hasn't found his power this year with only 4 HRs....he hit 30 last yr...he is due for a breakout week.

HOW WE STACK UP:

Batting Average:

Brandon Hernandez .378

Jason Bartlett .373

Kevin Youkilis .366

Home Runs:

Adrian Gonzalez 20

Jeremy Whittlesey 18

Raul Ibanez 17

RBIs

Evan Longoria 55

Jodi Biederstedt 52

WEEK 7 RESULTS

STUDS OF THE WEEK: Brent Williamson, Doug/Tim Krauss and Jeremy Whittlesey

.444-5HRS-10RBIS...These guys combined for 20 hrs and 40 rbis this week. These are all rookies that are all over the top of the leaderboards, with Whittlesey leading HRs and RBIs...There is a good chance that the Rookie of the Year will come out of this group of players. (Google Pic-willie, doug, tbag, j whitt)

DUD OF THE WEEK: Mike Meyer

.087-1HR-1RBI...Terrible week for Monk...luckily for him, one of his whopping 2 hits left the park. He better pick up his pace as he is the only player under 20 RBIs with 17.

STAT THAT MAY ONLY AMAZE ME:

Whittlesey .297-43 RBIs

Zorn .297-20 RBIs
