Beaners roll on

The beaners put a hurtin on Flanull this week with Flanull only winning stolen bases and innings pitched. Interestingly enough Flanull does not have the worst points for, points against ratio in the league. The winner of that title goes to the Pickle Weasels.

The Beaners have averaged 9.8 points for and only 2.2 against for the season. Also of note the Utility Men have averaged 4.5 points for and 7.5 against yet still maintain a 4 - 4 record.

Beaver Roto Classics: 1995

1995 was the first season of the Beaver Roto League. It was formed as by a bunch of guys in the same fraternity at Oregon State University and they dubbed the league, PSRBL (Phi Sig Roto Baseball League).

The draft lasted late into the night and included the only appearance of Loyan in the league. Unfortunately, he didn't pay the entry fee and has never been asked back. Maybe someday...nah, the draft would take FOREVER. Jason Prothero (Proj's Poppers) won the inaugural season by having a good hitting/pitching balance. Todd Powell (Boogers - as in Boog Powell) dominated hitting, but couldn't scrape enough pitching together to place higher than second. Jason Hogan (Heros) and Bob Grim (Bob-Itos) rounded out the top four. Bob challenged early in the season then faded late despite a strong pitching staff. Coming in just out of the money was Mike Faux (Fireballs), Tom Grim (Tommy Boy), and Loyan's Ladies. This would start a trend of Mike's teams finishing just out of the money.

Nothing too amazing this week, except that the Beaners were shutout of the POTW for the first time in a few weeks.

Full Flanull's pitching dominates Heater's

Thats right I said pitching! The 12 dollar pitching staff cemented the first win of the season over the 85 dollar pitching staff of the Heater's. If not for Kolb's miracle save late last night Flanull would have won all categories and tied saves.

Now I get the task of trying to hand Jim his first loss of the season.

The Losers will forever be remembered

Thanks to Todd's suggestion, I've created the Hall of Shame image. Scroll down on the left to see the last place teams for every year since the beginning.

Interestingly, the only two time loser is Kelley. But at least he's taken a championship too.

I've also added a link to our old Beaver Roto League site that is amazingly still up. It only goes through 1999.

I'll be posting old standings here as the season goes on for a bit of nostalgia for those who have been around forever.

Jim is goin' off!

Jim, this is getting rediculous...

6 home runs, 14 RBI, 1.210 OPS

in one day.


Come on Dan! Big comeback :)

Players of the Week (week 5)

(Reposted from Dan's message board post)

Welcome back to the player of the week postings! I am only going to focus on the positve, just the good players, not the bad. So here we go :

Carlos Lee, Beaners: AB:30 R:7 H:13 2B:5 HR:3 RBI:11 SB:1 BB:2 BA:.433 OPS:1.369

Mark Mulder, Utility Men: GS:2 IP:14.0 H:8 ER:1 BB:2 K:15 W:2 ERA:0.64 WHIP:0.71

Trevor Hoffman, Beaners: G:4 IP:4.0 H:2 ER:0 BB:1 K:7 SV:4 ERA:0.00 WHIP:0.75

Records: Best weekly pitching performances

And now the best in pitching:


W: 7 (FKAKY - Week 1)

SV: 8 (Utility Men - Week 2)

IP: 76.7 (Heaters - Week 5)

ERA: 1.24 (Full Flanal - Week 4)

WHIP: 0.671 (Beaners - Week 2)

K-BB: 43 (Beaners - Week 2)

Record: Best batting in a week

I'll kick it off with the records for hitting:


R: 57 (Diggleturb - Week 5)

HR: 19 (Diggleturb/Beaners - Week 5)

RBI: 57 (Diggleturb/Beaners - Week 5)

SB: 10 (FKAKY - Week 5)

AVE: .3311 (FKAKY - Week 3)

OPS: .9458 (Poppers - Week 1)


Week 1 had a lot of good numbers because it had an extra 2 days. But week 5 was amazing for Dusty and Jim. 57 was the previous R/RBI record and 15 was the previous HR record. Both from week 1. Since week 1 was longer I superceded it with the last week.


Edit: Oops week 5 wasn't quite that good :)

Best of Stats?

I think that we should have a section on the site that has the "best of" stats for a given week. For instance, this week both Dustin and Jim had 19 HRs and 57 RBIs! That has to be the best soo far, but it would be nice to have this for each catagory. Plus, it will give people some more bragging rights!
