The RR win and get in, via the NL division title. Now this week is the big week…..can the RR beat the YJ 2x in a row? If they want to make it to the RIFGFBL finals, that is their task! The RR win thanks to the NYY(53) and Tex(29) and McGahee(29). YJ was led by the Sox(74)….save some for this week! Will the YJ, with the #1 seed for the umpteenth year in a row, suffer another first rd loss? We will see!

What owner who is trying to make the playoffs scores 169 points, doesn’t sub all week except to take out Cabrera(who had 14 the days he was out) for Bay(who had 5)? Nice coaching…..with moves like that I can’t recommend you for my sloppy second coaching job at North Smithfield! How is that for a write up, BITCH?!! Wow, I guess Henry really hit a nerve with Steve! We all knew he has a temper from coaching, but wow, that was a tirade!!

In a battle that came down to the final days, the RR appeared to wilt in that Florida heat.  The IS clinched a playoff berth with this win. The RR were led by the Yanks PS 52 and G. Jones' 32. For the IS the Giants PS again led the way with 71, followed by the double C's  Cantu and Cano with 35 each.  The final score was IS 220 - RR 203.

HBYM hold off the Rotunda Rugrats on Sunday for a big win to pull even for first place in the National League. HBYM led all week but RR made it interested outscoring the Machine by 24 points. Leading the way for HBYM with a well balanced scoring attack was the Rays ps with 39 points along with the Prince's 34 points. RR got a huge effort from the Yanks ps with 59 points & 28 points from R.Barajas. Should definitely be an interesting finish to see who ends up on top when the dust settles in two weeks!

Another big week for the YJ led by the Sox(60), bargain basement Morales(50), Kinsler(37) and newly acquired, versatile R. Roberts(36). This was over by Tuesday, as YJ was up 74 and never looked back. The FP only had the Cubs with 29 and only 1 other player over 20 for what has been a long, disappointing season for the FP.

A furious comeback by the FP falls 1 point short and the RR prevail 177-176. FP trailed by 52 points going into Saturday games and RR held on thanks in part to a Yankee victory on Sunday night. Leading scorers for RR were G. Jones with 35 and the Yankees with 40. FP were led by the Cubs with 51, Ichiro with 25, and Barmes with 24. BIG WIN as the RR are now alone in 1^st place in the NL!

Thank goodness the BLB scored 61 on Sunday to make the game somewhat respectable, although the KC Czar will probably be fining the BLB for a 100 point loss!

In a week that came down to the Sunday Night game, despite Ellsbury's -4 , Cano's 2 errors, Swisher couldn't come thru for the Unknowns. Cano's HR provided the breathing room for the Stallion. Both squads struggled to find a way to score on Sunday as a 10-8 day proved. For the Unknowns, Detroits PS with 38 and Vlad with 36 led the way. For the Stallion, Giants PS 49 and Zobrists 34 were their leaders. The final score was IS 179 - Unk 171.

In a game that had playoff implications, the Vintage Vinyl and Itallion Stallion went toe to toe in a close battle that went down to the Sunday night game. A big difference was the PS, as the battle of the Bay was led by SF 40 - Oak 24. The Vinyl were led by Pujols(28) and Aybar(27), but not enough bang for the buck with his big guns. The Stallion were led by Cano(36) and Victorino(30).  The final score IS  206 - VV 192. This time the IS were on the right side of the Game of the Week!

Morales at 400 also had 39….Kevvy STILL think Helton has been better this year….poor Kevvy, drinking to much of that red wine! For the ZK, the Dodgers had 41 and Holliday had 30. The loss was meaningless as it seems the ZK will be trying to get in on points and 235 aint going to hurt that! It is definitely 6 teams for 4 spots, or 5 for 3 with my magic number at 1!

UPSET ALERT! UPSET ALERT! Another week, another win for the BLB who now have 5 wins even though the standings reflect otherwise. A furious Sunday comeback led the team to a 225 to 215 win over the Rugrats. Not sure how nobody could have used Jeter, Braun, and the Texas Rangers, but they continue to spark the BLB in their late season fury. GG to the Rugrats.

In what could be considered the Stinker of the Week it actually turned out pretty exciting on the final day of the week. HBYM pulled off a huge comeback on Sunday outscoring FP 48-15 in a much needed win for the Machine! Leading the way for HBYM was subbed in Prince Fielder with 29 points along with Juan Rivera getting 28, 15 of which came on Sunday. For the FP it was the Cubs PS with 39 points, unfortunately Sunday's game was rained out which definitely could have made a difference. Clint Barmes was the only other notable scorer with 27.

Stan- In a week that saw both teams struggling along and waiting for "lightin'" to stike, a 175/175 tie was the result. Both pitching staffs really threw up shameful numbers...Brewers(13) and Cubs(33) and the hitters followed in kind.The HG were led by Choo(28) and 26 apiece from Pedroia and Izturis. The FP were led...and we use that term lightly...by Loney (27) and Suzuki (33). But the real story was the number of negative numbers and DNP's that dotted both landscapes.

YJ was led by an 82 point Wednesday and a 62 point Saturday. Everyone was in doubles for the YJ, led by the Sox(47), Kinsler and BJ Upton(43), V-Mart(33) and quality FQ acquisition Podnedsik(30). The win keeps YJ in first place in the AL and increases their lead point lead in the league and the #1 seed. To quote Kevvy, “ this will be your best 3^rd place team yet!” For the RR, the Yankees(56), Counsell and Bourne(32 each) led the way.

On Sunday GM of the year and YJ owner David Tedeschi subbed in Lowell for Young, which netted him +14 while owner of the ZK, Scott Morrison, subbed in Teahen for Longoria, which netted him -7, a 21 point difference….ballgame YJ! Sox had 41, J. Upton 37 and Morales 31 for the YJ. Quote of the week comes from RM owner K. Marcoux “Do you think Henry throws up in his mouth every time he reads a Justin Upton box score?”, after he had 26 on Tuesday! For the ZK, Dodgers had 33 and Johnson had 31.

Fortunately for HBYM the VV's A's pitching staff fell apart in extra innings losing 6 points in the end. Leading the way for the Machine was the Rays PS with 42 along with P. Fielder & A.Lind combined 49 pts. Two day sub A. Callaspo's 17 pts were also instrumental in the win. VV's high scorers were Utley & Morneau who combined for 66 pts once it was all said and done.

It wasn’t Funkytown for the Unknowns but they are in a funk and are looking like they have already packed it in while YJ is already in cruise control. 8 guys over 20 did it for YJ, led by bargain basement Morales with 30 and Young with 29.

In a very low scoring week, that saw both teams within 10 pts of each other all week long, the FP managed to squeeze out a victory on Sunday thanks to Sandavol's first "big" day this season. While VV got the usual big numbers from Pujols(56) and another 22 pts from Morneau, nobody else had much of a week. A negative number from the A's pitching staff didn't help either. For the FP it really was a team effort with Sandavol(22),Hudson(19) and Church(19) combing with 34 pts from the Cubs to earn a 157/134 win.. The Polocks win...theee Polocks win!!
