Movin' On Up
The Road Ratters are on a rampage, but that's neither here nor there...
Line of the Week
This week, a guy with terrible, terrible hair gets the honors. Craig Wilson, who may think he is playing hockey, has been hitting the crapola out of the ball all season and this week was no different. Congrats the Nightmares on Goldilocks' Giddyup.
On Sunday against the Brewers, he was 3/5 with a HR and 3 RBI. AN is in fourth place (just behind a Mike Piazza led Brooklyn crew, I might add) and Wilson is hitting in the 360's. Props, kid.
Transaction of the Week
Unfortunately for Jim's RI bunch, they lost Richie Sexson to a shoulder injury. This week's notable transaction was his pick up of Brad Hawpe, who I'm sure most of us with opening considered taking. Hawpe was 5/10 for James and the Stuffies (Rhode Island for Quahog). James also picked up peppy 2nd baseman Danny Garcia, who is playing well for the Stems.
Special Mention to yours truly, who missed Endy Chavez by a week. Just happened to be the week he stole 5 bases. Keepin on runnin', Endy.
Deep Pockets/Short Hairy Arms Watch
Mike Cameron suffered an injury to his hand this week, maybe its the same chronic situation Murph has: Paralysis of the Wallet Hand. In any case, before he took last night off, Cameron stole another base for Nolan. 7 down, 23 to go for a Shanahan pay day. The settlement offer has been upped to $26.50 to call the whole thing off. Act now.
Standings Update
Sal and Pete continue to look tough, holding a commanding lead, but the numbers got re-distributed a bit this week, thanks to a power surge from Brooklyn. The Wonderful Boys lost a couple of points over the last few days. In other good news, Pool & Patio continues a downward spiral.
Due to wedding related events, I will be skipping next week. I am trying to lineup a replacement updater for the two weeks I am in Hawaii - we'll see what happens. By the time I get back, the league should be heating up.
