Well so much for preseason power rankings

Recap:

In a twist of irony, the Hip Young Popes' Fantasy RBI League debut was spoiled by a Mormon, as Dale Murphy belted two home runs and drove in five as part of a 3-for-3 day to lead The Parish State University to a decisive 12-2 victory on Monday at Tengen Stadium in a game called after five innings because of the 10-run mercy rule.

Parish State roughed up Hip Young Popes starter Doyle Alexander early and often, jumping out to a quick 5-0 lead in the first inning behind three of the team's league-leading five home runs. Glenn Davis and Benito Santiago each drove in two for Parish State.

Doug DeCinces was one of the few bright spots for the Hip Young Popes, as he hit a home run and a double.

I think your box score is off - it looks like DeCinces and Teufel got credit for ABs that should've gone to Hrbek and Armas.

Yeah see the top of the 1st Teufel batted twice and Decinces didn't tag in the 2nd.

Fixed the problem - the stats will reflect the right stats.

The Popes won about 2/3 of the games I simulated.  But it's like they say: Any given Tuesday.

BOOYA!
