Noteworthy:
Hong-Chih Kuo - Poppers
2 Gs, 2 L's, 14.14 Era, 1.857 Whip

POW Pitching: Week 12

This weeks winner of the POW Pitching award goes to Carlos Zambrano. The guy has been lights out of lately. He needs to throw down more often.

Carlos Zambrano - Poppers
1 Gs, 1 W, 8 Ip, 11 K-Bb's (12 K's), 1.125 Era, .500 Whip
And I almost traded Zito for Zambrano during OSU's Super Regional. Why did I hesitate??

Noteworthy:
Brad Penny - Full Flanull
2 Gs, 2 W's, 15 Ip, 6 K-Bb's (9 K's), 1.200 Era, .867 Whip
Great performance this week by Penny. He need a few more K's to win it.

Tom Glavine - Full Flanull
1 Gs, 1 W, 8 Ip, 3 K-Bb's (5 K's), 1.125 Era, 1.00 Whip
You gotta love Tom Glavine!

Aaron Harang - Diggleturb
1 Gs, 1 W, 8 Ip, 5 K-Bb's (7 K's), 0.00 Era, .500 Whip
He lost out because he didn't strike out enough guys.

Ben Sheets - Diggleturb
2 Gs, 2 W's, 15 Ip, 5 K-Bb's (9 K's), 1.80 Era, 1.00 Whip
His low K to BB ratio hurt Ben this week.

Yovanni Gallard - FKAky
1 Gs, 1 Nd, 7 Ip, 6 K-Bb's (8 K's), 1.286 Era, 1.00 Whip
2nd career start. To bad he might be headed to the bullpen shortly.

POW Hitting: Week 12

Welcome to the latest installment of Player of the Week (POW) award. There was plenty of production this week which is always fun to see. I had to have some limitations this week or the list could have easily topped out at 20 guys. So I tried to keep it to guys that had over 2 homeruns and batted over .350 for the week. The only exception was for Ryan Braun who had only 1 homerun but stole 3 bases and hit an amazing .419 for the week. If he would had shown more power he would have been a shoe in but he loses out to fellow team Hunter Pence for Player of the Week award.

Hunter Pence - FKAky
3 Hr's, 7 Rbi's, 8 R's, 1 Sb, .462 Avg, and 1.44 Ops
His extremely high average and Ops won it this week for Hunter. It also helped out that he nailed three homeruns.

Noteworthy:
Corey Hart - Diggleturb
2 Hr's, 7 Rbi's, 11 R's, 3 Sb's, .407 Avg, and 1.096 Ops
Corey had 2/3rds of his teams homeruns (3 total). He was a close second with Braun. His runs and SB numbers were great for this week.

Ryan Braun - FKAky
1 Hr, 8 Rbi's, 6 R's, 3 Sb's, .455 Avg, and 1.32 Ops
Low homerun total hurt Ryan this week but his other stats were amazing.

Alfonso Soriano - FKAky
4 Hr's, 7 Rbi's, 6 R's, 1 Sb, .419 Avg, and 1.36 Ops
Third FKAky player listed.

Josh Hamilton - Box Chowers
2 Hr's, 4 Rbi's, 5 R's, .400 Avg, and 1.33 Ops
Crack kills!

Troy Tulowitzki - Pickle Weasels
4 Hr's, 7 Rbi's, 7 R's, 1 Sb, .360 Avg, and 1.37 Ops
Tulo could have won it with a few extra base hits this week.

Chris Duncan - Heaters
2 Hr's, 7 Rbi's, 2 R's, .444 Avg, and 1.399 Ops
I want Duncan back!

Eric Byrnes - Heaters
2 Hr's, 7 Rbi's, 6 R's, 1 Sb, .379 Avg, and 1.034 Ops
Better numbers than Pujols this week...Todd is starting to look like a roto genius!

Luis Gonzalez - Beaners
2 Hr's, 9 Rbi's, 7 R's, .391 Avg, and 1.266 Ops
Not bad for being 42 years old!

RIP!

If you watched the Beavers defeat the North Carolina last night, you are aware that Rod Beck passed away. No information has been given so it makes you think for the worse. Either way, the man will be missed.

WOW: Week 10!

This weeks award is also a two player loser. The first goes to Freddy Garcia and his pathetic start and the other goes to Jason Bay for his lack luster performance. If it wasn't for the homerun that Bay got, he would have been the most worthless.

Freddy Garcia - Utility Men

The first goes to Jorge Sosa for shutting down on of the best offensive teams in the league, the Detriot Tigers. The second award goes to Antonio Alfonseca for stepping it up as the Phillies current closer. Nice pick up Calvin.

Elijah Dukes one ups himself

From Rotoworld.com

Elijah Dukes was told not to show up at the ballpark Wednesday, with manager Joe Maddon characterizing it as a "personal day."

Alledgedly impregnate an underage girl and get a paid day off. What a strange world it is that we live in.

This is the same guy that had some issues with his wife. If you want to know more, there is a past post about it. This guy has to be the MLB version of Pac Man Jones.

POW: Week 10

Since I neglected studying while I attended the Super Regionals this weekend, I won't be able to the POW awards until later this week. I will get them posted as soon as possible though.

Until then please enjoy the Beavers POW for hitting: Darwin Barney and Joey Wong, and the POW for pitching is Jorge Reyes and Mike Stutes. Go Beavs!

Week 10 Results

Team of the Week: Prothero's Poppers. 8 category wins this week. I needed every one of them as Dustin had a great week also.


7.0 Todd's Heaters
5.0 Andy's Full Flanull

Zero wins on the week for both teams. Wild. Todd's 15 Hrs were huge this week.


2.5 Dustin's Diggleturb
9.5 Prothero's Poppers

This wasn't as easy as it looks


5.5 Kelley's FKAKY
6.5 Dan's Pickle Weasels

Kelley had the hitting, Dan the pitching. Pitching won.


4.0 Calvin's Slumpbusters
8.0 Matt's Utility Men

Close week despite the final score.

Carlos Zambrano - Poopers
10.80 Era, 3.00 Whip, 5 IP, 1 Lose, 38 stitches to Barrett (not really sure about the number of stitches but thought that I would make it be something outrageous.

Congratulations!

Noteworthy:
Billy Donovan

POW Pitching: Week 9

This weeks winner goes to a reliever. I don't like giving much love to closers, since I don't have any quality ones. This weeks award goes to Francisco Cordero of the Full Flannulls.

Francisco Cordero - Full Flannull
4 G, 4 Sv's, 3.1 IP, 0.00 Era, .600 Whip and 4 K-BB's


Noteworthy:
Barry Zito - FKAky
2 GS, 2 W's, 13 IP, 0.00 Era, 1.308 Whip, 7 K-BB's (12 K's)
He walks way to many players causing his whip to be inflated. Great few weeks, his last three starts his era is around 0.45.

Brandon Webb - Poopers
1 GS, 1 W, 8 IP, 0.00 Era, .625 Whip, 7 K-BB's
I hate the Poopers this week so nothing will be said about Brandon Webb.


Randy Johnson - Poopers
1 GS, 1 W, 6 IP, 0.00 Era, .167 Whip, 6 K-BB's
I hate the Poopers this week so not much will be said about Randy Johnson. It would be interesting to see if they would ever allow him to pitch more than 60 pitches in a game.

Jeff Francis - Beaners
1 GS, 1 W, 7 IP, 1.29 Era, .857 Whip, and 5 K-BB's
STUD!

Chris Young - Utility Men
1 GS, 1 W, 7 IP, 0.00 Era, .714 Whip, and 6 K-BB's
Another great week for Chris Young.


POW Hitting: Week 9

This week's player of the week goes to a team that did a lot of talking up of his player. Besides his dad being a bum, this weeks player of the week goes to Prince Fielder of the Utility Men.

Prince Fielder - Utility Men
4 Hr's, 7 Rbi's, 5 R's, .391 Avg, and 1.517 Ops
This guy is TIED for the major league lead in homeruns along with Arod.

Noteworthy:
Russel Martin - Slumpbusters
4 Hr's, 6 Rbi's, 7 R's, .360 Avg, and 1.265 Ops
I always love when catchers go yard. I wanted to give the award to Russel this week but Calvin still could have won his matchup this week even without him.

Derrek Lee - Utility Men
3 Hr's, 6 Rbi's, 5 R's, .385 Avg, and 1.162 Ops
7 of the 10 Utility Men's homeruns were from Lee and Fielder. It's time to mix it up a bit.

Alfonso Soriano - FKAky
3 Hr's, 5 Rbi's, 7 R's, .464 Avg, and 1.357 Ops
Soriano had a great end to his week, going deep in three consecutive games and finished the week with a 5 for 5 performance.

Brad Hawpe - Poppers
2 Hr's, 5 Rbi's, 5 R's, .444 Avg, and 1.472 Ops
I hate the Poppers this week so nothing will be said about Brad Hawpe.

Dan Uggla - Beaners
3 Hr's, 7 Rbi's, 8 R's, .423 Avg, and 1.413 Ops
Great week for Uggla, any other week and he would have won it.

I would like to end with a baseball quote today.
"...remember the final two words in our National Anthem. 'Play Ball'." - Tom Brokaw

Week 9 Results

The team of the week was the Poppers as they won or tie for first in 6 categories! A good all around week for Jason, but the hitting led the way.


3.5 Brian's Box Chowers
8.5 Andy's Full Flanull

Oooo, what's that smell? Oh, it's the stinky hitting from both teams. Andy pulled it out with his pitching.


8.0 Jim's Beaners
4.0 Todd's Heaters

Jim knocks Todd into a tie for last place with Dusty. Bummer for Todd, he actually had a pretty good week. Jim just have a slightly better one. Jim is coming on strong. He's tied for second.


4.0 Kelley's FKAKY
8.0 Prothero's Poppers

Jason takes the week with huge hitting and takes just enough pitching to win.


7.0 Calvin's Slumpbusters
5.0 Dustin's Diggleturb

Wierd week for Calvin. Calvin rode his 19 HRs (whoa) to a victory and got out of the basement. The wierd thing was that with 19 HRs he hit only 36 RBI and he hit .240. Those must have been the only hits he had all week!


7.0 Matt's Utility Men
5.0 Dan's Pickle Weasels

Pitching won the week for Matt. Dan just needed to find a HR and a Save somewhere and he would have had the tie. Close week.


We are at the halfway point in the season. Here's how everything stands:

Seed Team Win Loss Tie Pct
1 Prothero's Poppers 7 2 0 0.778
2 Jim's Beaners 5 3 1 0.611
3 Andy's Full Flanull 5 3 1 0.611

Bad day

And I thought I was having a bad day...


Saturday, June 02, 2007

Happy Birthday Zambrano!

Nothing says Happy Birthday then letting your Ace punch a teammate in the face! Instead of blowing out candles on a cake, he got to give stitches to someone's face...It must be some sort of culture thing. Either way...it's a meltdown!

This just in...



Poppers crushing FKAKY. More at 11.
