Fantasy League Week 4 - Bm @ Sp

[fightonusc]

Game Summary:

When a team is struggling, sometimes it takes a performance from an unlikely hero to break them out of their slump. That's exactly what Bob Boone and Howard Johnson provided for Da ShitPaws, as their big hitting days helped their team to an 18-14 victory over BeefMaster, their first of the Fantasy RBI League season.

Boone, Johnson and Ellis Burks each cracked two of Da ShitPaw's nine total home runs, with Boone driving in five runs. Da ShitPaws (1-3) hit five home runs as part of a seven run third inning that helped them rally from an early 8-0 deficit.

BeefMaster (1-3) had a balanced attack, with no player driving in more than two runs. Reggie Jackson was 5 for 6 with a home run to lead the BeefMaster hitting.

Key stat here - BeefMaster stranded 10 runners...you aren't going to win many games doing that.

my winning streak begins...

Finally Reggie at least picks up some singles, but Season 1 MVP Baylor is still not pulling his weight.  Come to think of it, he disappeared in the World Series against ShitPaw, too...

My #9 hitters went 5-5 with a homer, a double, and 3 RBI.  If only the rest of the order could keep up.

I may be scanning the waiver wire for pitching.
