2008 Stock Fantasy League Results

[Mr. Blubbo]

Can somebody check and see who has the winningest record so far?

You have the lowest runs/AB, lowest AVG and lowest SLUG% in your dvision.  Somehow you have the best record.  Go figure.

That is crazy.  I feel like I need to recheck the spreadsheet to see if that is really true (I am sure it is).
Guessing a couple of close wins in low scoring games coupled with a bad performing loss will do that to you.

I think your numbers are right.  I just think that teams haven't scored a bunch of runs against him.  I think it would be easier to see if you posted the runs against stat.  I mean McLane scored 40 runs against me in one game.  Who knows if Nacho has had 40 runs scored against him in 7 games.

[Gantry]

Reggie Jackson may be my worst player so far.  Unacceptable...

Attezz vs Nacho
Game 1 Nacho puts in a sub par game, only being able to muster 25 runs in 8 innings.  However, this was enough to slaughter Attezz, who hung in there (even trading the lead several times).  Ruth did his best going 3-4 with 2 HRs and 7 RBIs, but just can't carry this team himself. Yount crapped the bed with an impressive 0-5 performance.  This may have been the difference separating Attezz from his season's first win.  Nacho's Dimaggio lit it up going 6-7 with 3 HRs and 6 RBIs.
Game 2;  ATTEZZ WINS!!  They actually had a chance to end it in the bottom of the first when Cobb popped out in the infield with the bases loaded.  However, Attezz bats around again in the bottom of the 2nd and the Babe walks off after his 3rd straight HR of the game.  Coleman, Ruth, Samuel, and Yount combined 14-14 with 4HRs, 3B, 2B, and 19 RBIs.
Series MVP goes to Babe Ruth going 7-8 with 4HRs and 14 RBIs.
LVP goes to Biggio, going 3-8 with only 2 RBIs in the series split.
Coleman also had a great game for Attezz, going 7-9 with 7 RBIs doing a great job of setting up the pins for Ruth.


Fighton vs Beefmaster
Game 1 was pretty uneventful thru the first 7 innings.  Both teams were scoring runs, but only consistently 1-3 runs per inning.  Then Fighton turned it on by putting up 9 runs in the top of the 8th and then 7 more in the 9th.  Fighton had an impressive 31-20 lead going into the bottom of the 9th.  However, Beefmaster turned it on big time putting up a 15 spot with Campanella walking off in "grand" fashion.
It was really Kent/Nomar going a quiet 7-16 with a HR and only 2 RBIs that may have been the difference in this game.  Pujols/Wilson had 3HRs each and Brett was a tough out in the 9-spot going 6-7; 2HRs.
For Beefmaster, Conigliaro went 7-7 with 3HRs and 7 RBIs.  Hornsby had a GS.  Bonds had 3HRs and a triple.  Campanella had 3 HRs (GS).
Game 2 Beef started out well in the top of the first until Campanella grounded into a DP, and only scored 2 runs.  Fighton mad'em pay, putting up 12 runs in the bottom with Kent, Nomar, Pujols, Howard, & Brett all hitting bombs.
Series MVP goes to Brett, going 7/8 with 3HRs and 8 RBIs batting in the 9-spot.  Conigliaro also had a great series, going 7/7 with 7 RBIs.
LVP goes to Allen.  Only went 9/3 with only 1 RBI (including a GDP) batting in the 2-spot.


McLane vs Gantry
Game 1 both teams started out well, batting around in the first inning.  However, then McLane's squad went cold (save for Mantle; 2HRs & 4 RBIs in to Abs).  Gantry kept the foot on the pedal and ended it in the 3rd.  Teddy Ballgame went 4-4 with 2HRs & 5 RBIs.  Dunn and HoJo combined 6-6.  Reggie also had 5 HRs, incl a HR.  McLane's Uribe; the only batter w/o a hit in the game.
Game 2, was all Gantry.  Batted around 1 2/3 times, and put up 12 runs led by a York Grand Slam and HRs from Jackson, Dunn and Giambi.  McLane got back-to-back singles from Thomas/Mantle, and that was it.
Seris MVP goes to York; 3-4, 2HR (GS), 7 RBIs.
LVP goes to Uribe.  0-2 in the series.
Don't blame... Mantle; 3-3, 2HRs in the series.  Palmer & Colavito also batted 1.000 in the series loss.


GDavis vs Rack
Game 1; Rack's squad played well led by Belle/IROD combining 6-6, 2HRs, 6 RBIs, but GDavis' offense was relentless. 
Aaron went 5-5, 3HRs, 2B, 7 RBIs from the leadoff spot.  Canseco, Fielder, and Sauer combined 14-14, 5HRs, 16 RBIs.  Delgado/Petrocelli also added HRs.
Game 2 was a hell of a game.  Thru the first 4 inning Gdavis fell just short of slaughtering Rack every inning.  However, Rack staid consistent and really turned it on in the later innings to pull it out by a hefty margin.  So many players from both teams had great games to name them all.  Delgado went 8-8, 4HRs, 7 RBIs for GDavis.  Klein went 9-9, HR, 5 2B, 8 RBIs for Rack. Jeter, Bell, Kiner, Bagwell had 3 HRs each. 
Series MVP goes to Delgado; 12-13, 5HR, 9 RBI.
LVP goes to Posada; 4-13 with 2 RBIs (fewest of any player on either team).


Nomaaa vs Weathermatt
Game 1; 21 points was all Nomaaa needed to put away Weathermatt in 3 innings.  Ramirez/Boone/Beltran combined 10-10, HR, 2 2B, 10 RBI.  Fisk had a HR and 6 RBIs.  Although, Weathermatt hit more home runs than Nomaaa, there were no base runners for all 4 of them.
Game 2, Weathermatt came back around. Despite and 0-4 performance from Deer and sub par performances from Joe Carter and Big Mac, Sanders and Javy Lopez picked up the slack combining 9-9, 4HRs (2 GS), 11 RBIs.  Sheffield added a grand slam for Nomaaa, but just wasn't enough.  Fisk, Tejada, and Murphy all had sub .500 games at the plate.


AlecTrevylan vs Ryno
Game 1 was all Alec.  Ryno was just hanging in there by a run or two to prevent from being slaughtered thru three innings.  Finally Alec put it away in the 4th.  Ordonez had 3HRs in his 1st 3 Abs with 8 RBIs.  Ichiro had 3 doublse.  Rollins had a pair of triples.  Gehrig with 4-4.  Mike Schmidt had an outstanding game for Ryno (4-4, 2HRs, 2B, 4 RBIs), but he was pretty much the only one.  Eric Davis going only 1-4 with a single in the leadoff spot really made it hard to get anything going.
Game 2, Ryno's offense woke up, and batted around 3 times in 2 innings, led by a 4-4 charge from Eric Davis (HR).  Sandberg, Dawson, WClark also added HRs.
Despite Glaus' 2-2 (2HR) performance as well as Ichiro, Mays, Bench, & Robinson combining 9-9, AlecT could still only get 11 runs in 2 innings.  Gehrig/Ordonez (who were phenomenal in game 1) slipped, combining 1-5 with a single.
Series MVP goes to Bench; 6-6, 2 2B, HR.
LVP goes to Burks, 3-6 and only 1 RBI in the series.


Ultimate vs Shooty
In Game 1 Shooty's guys had a lackluster performance.  The biggest stars being Sosa/Greenberg going 8-8, but with 0 HRs.  Ultimate had 2 huge innings putting up 15 in the 2nd and 12 in the 5th.  Strawberry had 2 HRs (GS) with 9 RBIs.  McCovey had an outstanding game going 6-6 with 3HRs.
Game 2; Ultimate jumped out early to a 9 run lead after 1 inning complete.  It pretty much staid at that margin (give or take a run or two) until the 7th when Ultimate was able to finally run-rule the struggling babbits.  Sosa was no blame with 4 2-run HRs in the game.  Greenberg had 3HRs and Parrish added a pair as well..... just wasn't enough.  How about Mondesi going 5-5 w/ 3HRs and a double from the 9-spot!  Also, Stargel continues to be red hot going 5-6 with 2HRs and 2 2Bs.
Series MVP goes to Stargel; 11-12, 3HRs, 3 2Bs, 7 RBIs in the series.  BTW, Stargel is now 19 for his last 20 ABs.
LVP goes to Matt Williams; only 2-8 and a GIDP.
Don't blame... Sosa; 8-9, 4HRs, 10 RBIs in the series loss.


BigHath vs Stock
Game 1; was all BigHath.  Team Stock bats around in the first, but then fades off, as Helton (3-3, 2HRs) is the only guy putting up any real offense.  BigHath puts up 23 runs in 3 innings led by Berkman (3-4, GS, 6 RBIs) and Killebrew (4-4, 2HRs, 6 RBIs).
Game 2; Stock has a huge first putting up 11 runs.  However, BigHath comes right back with 16 runs in the bottom half, taking all the wind out of their sails.  Buhner/Gvaughn were both 4-4 with a HR.  Furcal was 4-4 with 2 2B, and a 3B.
Series MVP goes to Killebrew; 7-8, 3HRs, 8 RBIs in the series sweep.
LVP goes to Mo Vaughn (only player to not have an RBI in the series).  Believe it or not, nobody for Stock batted below .500 in the series.  The big problem was everyone being mediocre.
Don't blame.... Helton; 4-6 3HRs, 8 RBIs.

[Nacho]

My team = still the best...

[Attezz]

<head slinking in shame>

[fknmclane]

Tough run for my squad.  This is awful.

[Gantry]

That's what I like to see, POTATOES!

[WeatherMatt]

Still haven't lost a series, though I think I split the last three.

[Mr. Blubbo]

what was the final scores in both my games against GDavis?

[Stock]

what was the final scores in both my games against GDavis?

GDavis smashed you in game 1; 29-15 in 3 innings.
You won game 2; 46-37 in 9 innings.

Can't you open the excel file?

[Mr. Blubbo]

GDavis smashed you in game 1; 29-15 in 3 innings.
You won game 2; 46-37 in 9 innings.

Can't you open the excel file?

I forgot about the file.

Damn, teams are averaging 28 runs a game against me.  I need to improve me defense.  In comparison, Nacho, your first place team, has the best defense only allowing 13 runs per game.

[Stock]

Yeah, Nacho's team is really a mystery to me.
He is near the bottom in almost every offensive category, yet is tied with the best record in the league.

[Nacho]

Just wait until my offense starts performing.

UNSTOPPABLE.

[Gantry]

I don't have any of the 20 worst OPS players in the league, therefore I'm the best!

[Nacho]

Any updates here, stock?

Week 5
Attezz vs Nomaaa
Game 1;  Attezz batted around in the first, putting up 6 runs, but then was shut out.  Nomaaa finally puts it away in the 3rd via Sheffield walk off Grand Slam (3rd HR of the game).  Ramirez/McGriff/Beltran batted 1.000 in the game w/ 3 HRs.
Game 2; Again Attezz started out well, scoring 7 runs in the first.  And if the Babe would not have choked (starting the game 1-4 w/ a single), they could have won.  After both the 2nd & 3rd innings, Attezz was up by 9.  Instead Nomaaa slowly came back, and this time it was Manny's turn to walk off with a GS (3rd HR of the game).  McGriff also had a multi-HR game.
Game 3; Unlike in game 2, Attezz took advantage of Nomaaa's lazy offense. 1-4 batters combined 18-23, 4HRs, 3 3Bs, 3 2Bs, & 21 RBIs.  Stahl went 4-5 w/ 2 triples from the 9-spot. Murphy had a good game for Nomaa (4-4, 2HRs), as well did most the bottom of the order.  It was the top of the order that took a nap in game 3.
Series MVP goes to Manny Ramirez (12-13, 4HRs (GS) & 12 RBIs in the series victory).  Sheffield had 5HRs in the series while McGriff, Boone, and Beltran added 3 each.
LVP goes to Coleman (5-12 in the series), the only player with a sub .500 BA in the series.
Don't blame.... Konerko; 11-13, 3 HRs, 6 RBIs in the series loss.


McLane vs Ultimate
Game 1 was all McLane.  Mantle/Gthomas combined 6-6, 4HRs, 8 RBIs.  Palmer/Colavito each batted 1.000 w/ a HR each.  Ultimate's entire team went only 4-9 with 0HRs.
Game 2; 45 runs scored in 3 innings & Stargel, Mondesi, & Ortiz with Grand Slams.  Ultimate ends it in the bottom of the second with a walk-off shot from McCovey (5-5).  Soriano and Mitchel combined 9-9 with 2 HRs each.
Game 3 was relatively non-eventful thru 6 innings and was tied 20-20.  That is when a spark was lit under Team McLane's ass, and they put up 19 runs in the top of the 7th.  Ortiz and Mantle were relatively quiet compared to what we would expect from them.  It was Colavito who went insane; 7-7, 3HRs, 10 RBIs.
Series MVP goes to Colavito; 12-13, 5HRs, 14RBIs.
LVP goes to Strawberry.  Batted only .545 in the series with 0 HRs from the 2-spot.  Mondesi was the only guy with a lower average in the series, but gets a pass for hitting a clutch Grand Slam in Game 2 from the 9-spot.
Don't blame... Kevin Mitchel for the series loss; 10-10, 4HRs.  Mitchel is now 12 for his last 12 Abs over 4 games.


Fighton vs AlecTrevylan
Game 1; Although Fighton was leading by 6 to 9 runs after every inning, AT was able to hang in there for 9 innings before losing.  Pujols went 7-8 w/ 3HRs.  Aramis Ramirez went 7-7 with a HR.  Wilson had a 3-HR game.  Despite Ichiro getting 3 triples, nothing too exciting happening on AlecT's offense.
Game 2 was Fighton's turn to go cold, only putting up 16 runs in 5 innings.  AlecT, led by  a 5-5, 2HR Burks, ends it in the bottom of the 5th with a  2-RBI double from Rollins.  All this despite Fighton's Kent/Berra/Brett combining 13-13 w/ 2HRs.  The rest of the team batted below .500.
Game 3 was just quick beat down on AlecT.  17-0 after 1 inning.  Kent went 3-3 w/ a HR.  Howard and Wilson each had 3-run HRs.
Series MVP goes to Berra; 12-14, 2HRs, 7 RBIs.
LVP goes to Willie Mays.  You need more than a 6-12 series with 2HRs from your cleanup batter.
Don't blame... Troy Glaus; 9-11, 2HRs, 5 RBIs in the series loss.


GDavis vs BigHath
In Game 1, despite a 2-HR (GS) game from Burkman and a 3-HR game from Killebrew, Gdavis gets the victory in 9 innings.  Delgado led the way going 7-8, w/ 2 HRs, 8 RBIs.
Game 2, Gdavis never lost a big league, and BigHath was just haning in there to avoid the slaughter.  Finally, in the 7th BigHath could not hang anymore.  Delgado went 7-8 w/ 4HRs and 10 RBIs.  Burkman & Gordon combined 13-13, 4HRs, 12 RBIs in the losing effort for BigHath.
Game 3, BigHath avoids the sweep led by a 4-4 (3HR) game from Killebrew.  Also, Greg Vaughn (who went 4-12 with 2 GDIPs & 0 RBIs in the first 2 games) busted out of his slump with a 3-3, 3HR, 5 RBI game.
Series MVP goes (hands down) to Carlos Delgado; 17-19, 7HRs, 19 RBIs.
LVP goes to Furcal; lowest BA, RBIs and HRs for BigHath (.429-1-0).
Don't blame ... Lance Berkman; 15-18, 4HRs, 18 RBIs.  Killebrew also had 8HRs in the series loss.


Beefmaster vs Ryno
Game 1; 20 runs in two innings was too much for Ryno to handle.Frank Robinson had a Grand Slam while Stephens and Campanela had 2 HRs each.
Game 2; Ryno had the lead until the 7th when BM went up 21-18.  Ryno could never come back from the defecit despite his 1-5 & 7 batters all with multi HR games.  Hornsby, Frank Robinson and Zernial all had 3-HR games for Beef.
Game 3; Beef makes quick work of Ryno 17-1 in one inning.  Beefmaster put 13 guys to the plate in the 1st inning before recording the first out of the game.  Conigliaro was 2-2 with two 3-run HRs.  Bonds also added 2 HRs.
It should be noted that everyone in Beef's line-up had at least 3 HRs in the series.
Series MVP goes to Hornsby with 5HRs, 4 doubles, and 8 RBIs.
LVP goes to Ripken, who had a herendous series slugging only .143 with 0 RBIs.
Don't blame .... Jimmy Rice, who went 7-7 w/ 2HRs and a double in the series loss.


Rack vs Stock
Game 1; Stock could just not score runs other than 3 solo HRs in 3 innings.  Rack led by a 2-HR game from Foxx was able to end it quickly, helped by a 6-6 performance from the 7-8-9 batters.
Game 2; Stock started out great and had every chance in the world to put it away with a 6 run lead going into the bottom of the 3rd, with Rack only scoring 1 run in the 4-6th innings.  However, stock comes up lame as well and then Rack turns it on in the 7th (batting around with a Bagwell GS) and then puts up 14 runs in the eighth, led by a Jeter GS.
Game 3; Jeter leads off the game with a HR, and then Rack goes 3-9 (w/ 0 runs) the rest of the game.  Stock finally takes advantage of the opening and ends it in the 2nd with a Fryman walk-off HR.  Piazza went 2-2, 2HRs, 5 RBIs in the game.
Series MVP goes to Bagwell; 9-11, 2HRs (GS), 2 doubles, 1 triple, 9 RBIs.
LVP goes to Henderson, only 3-11 from the 2-spot.  Griffey also shit the bed with only 1 RBI and 0 HRs from the 3-spot (despite batting .727) in the series loss.
Don't blame ... Joe Morgan who went 5-7, HR, 5 RBIs in the 2 series losses.


Nacho vs Weathermatt
Game 1; started out with a bang... each team scoring 8 runs in the 1st.  It then took both team 'till the 7th inning to double that score, and that is when Nacho really pulled ahead scoring 7 unanswered runs in the 8th and 9 more in the 9th.  Vlad went 8-9.  Collins had 3 triples.  Wagner had 4 doubles, a triple, and a HR.  Dimaggio and ARod each had 3-HR games.  For Weathermatt, despite Sanders going 7-7, and Batista 6-7, Mac and JuanGone each went 1-7 with a single.
Game 2; Nacho had a decent lead most the game, and was up 19-13 going into the bottom of the 6th, where Weathermatt's guys turned it on and scored 17 runs capped by a Kingman 3-run walk of HR.  Javy Lopez had a 2-HR game and Rob Deer went 5-5, HR, 4 RBIs. 
Game 3; Nacho ended it early helped by an 11 run 3rd inning.  ARod went 4-4, 2HRs (GS), 6 RBIs.  DiMagio/Guerrero combined 8-8, 3HRs, 2B, 3 RBIs.
Series MVP goes to AROD; 13-18, 8HRs (GS), 2B, 16 RBIs.
LVP goes to Mark McGwire.  He was only 5-15 w/ 1HR in the series.
Don't blame... Reggie Sanders; 13-15, 4HRs, 2 doubles, 10 RBIs in the series loss.


Gantry vs Shooty
Game 1; Shooty only needed a 2-Run blast from Justice in the bottom of the 2nd to complete the slaughter.  Greenberg was 2-2, HR, 4 RBIs.  For Gantry... Ted Williams, Dunn, HoJo, & Deshields combined 0-5.
Game 2; Not the most offensive game I have played in RBI.  In fact, not even 40 total runs scored in 9 full innings.  Gantry scored 1 or fewer runs in 5 innings.  Greenberg had a 3-HR, 5-RBI game for Shooty.
Game 3; Sosa completes the sweep with a  1st inning walk-off HR.  Gantry goes 0-3 in the game....Shooty's 2nd no-hit victory of the season.  Parrish had a 3-run HR in his only AB of the game, and Womack had 2 triples in two trips.
Series MVP goes to Greenberg; 7-9, 4HRs, 10 RBIs.
LVP goes to HOJO; batting only .286 in the series loss.
Don't blame... Mize; who batted .714 in the series loss.
