Week 9

Attezz vs Ultimate
Game 1; Attezz started out strong putting up 6 runs in the 1st inning.  He then topped that in the 2nd inning with 7 runs.  Despite Ultimate leading off the game with back-to-back HRs, he was only able to scrap 1 more run total.  Attezz wins his 3rd game of the season agains first place Ultimate.  Coleman was 3-3 (all singles).  The Babe was 3-3, HR.  Cobb/Chance/Stahl combined 5-7, 3 triples.
Game 2; Attezz started out hot (again) putting up 5 runs in the first.  Konerko had a perfect 3-3, 3HR, 8 RBI game.  However, Ultimate consistently put up 4 to 8 runs every inning and finally ended it in the 4th.  Mitchell had a GS, and Snider was 4-4, 2HRs.
Game 3; Attezz starts out great (as would be the pattern in this series), and even had a lead of 22-10 going into the bottom of the 5th.  However, Ultimate would get it going scoring 6-3-13 runs in the 5th, 6th, & 7th innings.  In the meantime Attezz puts up doughnuts in the 6th & 7th making Soriano's 2-run HR in the 7th a walkoff.  Stargel also added a GS for Ultimate.
Series MVP goes to McCovey; 9-10, 2HRs, 2 2Bs, 9 RBIs in series win.
LVP goes to Coleman; batting .417 (lowest in the series).
Don't blame... The Babe; 11-12, 3HRs, 8 RBIs.


McLane vs Nomaaa
Game 1; was not known for its offense.  Neither team scored more than 6 runs in an inning in all 8 innings.  Tejada had a huge game for Nomaaa (6-6, 3HRs) which led them to getting the victory in 8 innings.  McGriff also had 3HRs and Crawford went 6-6 (2 triples) from the 9-hole.  Sheffield/Ramirez had 2HRs each.  Nobody had a multi HR game for McLane.
Game 2; was similar in offense to game 1.  Other than a couple glimpses of great offense (ie.. Murphy/Boone with 2HRs each for Nomaaa and a GS from Frank Thomas), no team really took off.  Nomaaa scores 24 runs in 8 innings for the second game in a row, and is enough to win both games.
Game 3; McLane finally got some offense going and put up 21 runs in 4 innings, led by a near perfect game from David Ortiz (4-4, 3HRs, 8 RBIs).  Mantle/Palmer also had multi HR games.  This was enough to put away Nomaaa and preventing the sweep.  Boone's 0-3 performance did not help matters.
Series MVP goes to Dale Murphy; 12-15, 4 HRs, 8 RBIs.
LVP goes to Tettleton; 6-16, 4 RBIs in series loss.  Besides Frank Thomas' GS in game 1, he was only 6-15 w/ 2RBIs from the 3-spot.
Don't blame... David Ortiz who had 5HRs and 13 RBIs in the series loss.


Fighton vs BigHath
Game 1 was short and simple.  Fighton could only come up with 1 run in the first 2 innings.  BigHath took advantage led by a 2-2, 2HR, 5 RBI game for Killebrew.  Dickey ended it with a 2-run walk-off HR.
Game 2, Fighton did a little better led by and awesome 4-4, 3HR, 6RBI performance from Jeff Kent. However, BigHath performed better as well, putting up 24 runs in 5 innings.  Thome went 5-5, 2HRs, 2 2Bs, 7 RBIs, and Greg Vaughn got the walk-off solo shot to end the game in the bottom of the 5th.
Game 3; Fighton finally started hot and staid hot, putting up 26 runs in 3 innings.  Pujols was 4-4, 2HRs, 2B, 4 RBIs.  Nomar drove in 8 runs with 2HRs.  Aramis Ramirez had a 3HR game with 6 RBIs.  BigHath didn't play poorly (15 runs in 3 innings), but was not enough to hang in there.  Burkman, Thome, Greg Vaughn, & Dickey combined 11-11, 4HRs, 11 RBIs.
Series MVP goes to Jim Thome; .900 BA, 2HRs, 2 2Bs, 9 RBIs.
LVP goes to Howard; only batted .375 in the series loss.

GDavis vs AlecTrevylan
Game 1; was all Davis.  Canseco & Horner were both 3-3 w/ 2HRs.  Posada had 2HRs.  Delgado was 3-3 (HR).
Game 2; GDavis was not nearly as strong as in game 1, and was down 17-19 going into the 7th.  However, Gdavis scored 12 runs in the top of the 7th and was enough to eek out a 33-29 victory.  Delgado was 7-8 (HR), 7 RBIs.  AlecT had 4 guys with multi-HR games (vs 0 from GDavis), but was still not enough.
Game 3; AlecT quickly avoided the sweep 5-15 in 2 innings.  Alec put up 12 runs in the 1st led by a Glaus GS.  Then Robinson put it away with a 3-run HR in the bottom of the 2nd. 
Series MVP goes to Carlos Delgado; 11-13, 2HRs, 11 RBIs.
LVP goes to Bench.  Batted .455 (lowest in the series for either team), 0 HRs, only 1 RBI and a GIDP.
Don't blame... Troy Glaus; 9-10, 4HRs (GS), 10 RBIs in series loss.  Robinson also hit 3HRs and drove in 14 RBIs from the 9-spot in the series loss.


Beefmaster vs Stock
Game 1 had a little bit of offense.  In fact, we almost had our 2nd 100+ game of the season. For Beef, Allen, Bonds, and Campanela all had a Grand Slam.  Bonds was 9-10, 6HRs, 15 RBIs.  Allen, Robinson, Stuart, and Campanela all had multi HR games.  For Stock, Griffey hit 2 Grand Slams in the 8th inning.  Helton had 4HRs, Mo Vaughn had 3HRs, Morgan, Piazza, and Fryman had 2HRs.  The score was 51-46 going into the bottom of the ninth.  However, Stock's guys could only muster 1 single in 4 ABs.
Game 2; started right where game 1 left off.  Beef put up 15 runs in the first and Stock followed with 18 runs in the bottom of the first.  However, Beef put up 15 more runs in the 2nd inning.  Stock finally could not keep pace and could only scrounge up 1 run in the bottom.  For Beef, Bonds had 3HRs (incl another GS).  Hornsby, Frank Robinson, and Zernial also had mult-HR games in the 2 inning affair.  Piazza was 3-3, 3HRs in Stock's losing battle.
Game 3; Beef finally cooled down, only scoring 1 run in the first.  Stock quickly took advantage as Griffey ended it with his 2nd 3-run HR of the inning.  Morgan also had a 3-run HR.
Series MVP goes to Barry Bonds; 13-15, 9HRs (2 grand slams), 22 RBIs.  This may be the best series performance of the year so far!
LVP goes to... Rickey Henderson.  Only player on either team w/o a HR.  Stock scored 76 runs in the series, and Henderson only drove in 1 of them.

Game 2; Ryno scored 3 runs in each of the first 3 innings.  However, that wasn't enough down 20-6 going into the bottom of the 3rd.  Rack's Belle went 4-4, 2HRs, 2B, 5 RBIs.  Klein/IROD combined 6-6 w/ a HR each.
Game 3; Ryno fell asleep and could not score a single run in the first 2 innings.  Rice topped it off nicely by ending the 2nd with a GIDP.  Rack, on the other hand, was wide awake, scoring 17 runs in 2 innings.  Jeter/Belle/Foxx combined 9-9, HR, 3B, 3 2Bs, 9 RBIs.  Chipper Jones added 2 HRs.

Game 3 was a lot like game 2.  Nacho put up a bunch of runs early on, and Shooty could not respond.  Guererro hit 2 more HRs and AROD hit a GS for Nacho.

Game 2; Ryno looked like he was going to finish things early, putting up 12 runs in the 1st inning.  However, only 3 more runs were scored in the next 3 innings, and that was plenty of time for McLane to come back and end it.  Alomar was 5-5, 2HRs (walkoff), 4 RBIs.  Uribe was 4-4, 2HRs, 2B, 6 RBIs.  Palmer and Thomas also added 2HRs each.

GDavis vs Weathermatt
Game 1; Started slow as ever with only a 9-4 lead for GDavis at the end of 5 innings.  However, then Gdavis rattled off 10 runs in the 6th.  However, Weathermatt was able to recover and hang in the game until the bottom of the 8th, where he put up 16 runs.  That was enough to seal the deal without having to bat in the bottom of the 9th.  For Weathermatt, Mac had 4HRs and 6 RBIs.  Despite going only 2-8, Reggie Sanders had 6 RBIs with 2HRs (GS).  Delgado had a 8-8 game for GDavis in the losing effort.

Picking Honus Wagner was a horrible move on my part...

Choke on it, Ryno.

Picking Honus Wagner was a horrible move on my part...

Not really.
He is still outperforming (IMO) 6 shortstops in our league (including Garciaparra - Fighton's 2nd pick overall).

Wagner is also outperforming 2/3 of Atezz's lineup.

I knew I should have picked Honus Wagner.
