Week 20 Results - Timmy G Salvages Season

Stud of the Week - Tim Guelde

It has been a pretty brutal year overall for Tim G....but this week he salvaged his season with a solo SOTW performance, its his 1st of the season...Unless he can go on a HR binge, its not looking likely he will finish in the top 3 ... He is currently 11 HRs behind 3rd place right now...Congrats Tim on your $50...(Google Pic - Timmy G)

DUDS of the Week - Stout, Todd G., Finkes, T Krauss, Curlis, Holbrook, D Rychener, Roach

The early week injury struck again taking out 8 guys this week...6 of the guys picked Big Papi, who has a bad foot (don't think on the DL) and one guy picked J Kipnis, he was placed on the DL on Monday night..The other, Roach, didn't even get a pick in so he went 0-21, really hurting his BA chances...A few of those guys are in the hunt in the season ending awards, so this week was a bad blow to them.

Week 7 Recap

Not very often does the concensus top pick of the week ened up being the SOTW, but this week that is exactly what happened...

Studs of the Week - Stout, Da. Krauss, Kapcar, R. Jones, Price, Pennington, Finkes, Perrotta

These 8 all went with Adrian Gonzalez who has been absoultely nuts in the month of May...Last week he was 13/27 with 7 RBIs (20pts)...This may be the first time ever that the SOTW did not hit any HRs...Each of the 8 Studs all on average raised their BA about 40 pts...Also this was the 1st SOTW for all 8 players getting them a pay out of $6.25 per....Congrats on the big week...(Google Pic - Elite 8)

Duds of the Week - Biederstedt, Banks, Brink

The not so killer B's this week all went with V Martinez and he did not deliver as he only got 3 hits in 19 at bats for a total of 3 pts....Of the 3, Brink is having the best year so far and is now under .300 for the first time all year at .295...

STAT THAT MAY ONLY AMAZE ME:

Since week 3, E Krauss (ME) has only 14 hits total...the SOTWs had 13 this week....unreal...and a side note the STL Cards "big 3" has just killed me this year going 9/66 .136 total when I picked them.

Week 20 Results

20 down, 6 to go...its go time...

STUDS OF THE WEEK - STOUT, C JONES

They both had monster weeks...going 9/27, 4 HR and 13 RBIs...(26 pts- Cano)...This marks Stouts first time in the winner circle and for Jones, it is his RTTC leading (tied w Smith) 4th time as SOTW...Stouty is very much alive in 2 races yet...He is 5th in HRs and 7th in RBIs....CJones is a legot threat for the RTTC triple crown...He is 3rd in BA, 9th in HRs, and leading RBIs with 101...Congrats on the win fellas...(Pic- SJ4)

DUDS OF THE WEEK - BURGER, HERNANDEZ, WILLIAMSON, KELLER

The RTTC jinx struck again...the dreaded Monday night injury....They all pickes ARod and he onl managed 3 ABs...w 0 hits....All4 guys are over .300 on the year, Keller couldnt raise his HR lead at 29, and Burger lost some ground as he is 5th in the RBIs race...tough luck guys...

Top off the radar pick...J Stout going with Lyle Overbay...not sure who he plays for??

Here you go, have a listen to get ready for some baseball... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi9mRcjtICY

WEEK 3 RESULTS

STUD OF THE WEEK: TOMMY "The Z-Man" ZGELA

.450 3 HRS 11 RBIs...Big week for Zgela as he goes on vacation and still kicks our A$$. Anytime you can reach double digits in RBIs you are gonna be making a move up the list. He is tied for 4th now in RBIs.

DUD OF THE WEEK: BRENT "Willie" WILLIAMSON

.182 0 HRs 0 RBIs...Willie was one of two people that had a 0-0 week but took the dud status as he failed to top .200. Its a good thing that he had a big opening week because since he is: 9-49, 0 HR, 2 RBIs.

STAT THAT MAY ONLY AMAZE ME:

Stout's power surge. He needs only 12 more HRs to match his total from last yr.
