That is right folks. The league is shaping of very nicely and very balanced.
What a week for Team JackedUpEyeBlack23! Only to be outdone by their most bitter rival and despised GM Team GHR 714 owned Week 11.
Should be a great week as Striking Back, GHR 714, JackedUp, and yes... The Corporation all within striking distance of the New York Knight's streak.
I kept telling ya I didn't expect my run to last forever...(No...forget that! I was being modest! I will run the table for 25 consecutive weeks! :lol: )

I would most gladly give up Vlad for Abreu if it would stop us from being the hated and bitter of rivals :D
On second thought I like having a bitter and hated rival.

Vlad and Abreu have been one and two on my draft board for the past 5 years! :D
Seriously, did you see the moonshots Vlad hit on Saturday?
Its all about the rivalry, just like the XM commercial!

Wow...good pick Kev.
Delmon Young went 3-for-4 and hit his 15th and 16th homers for Double-A Montgomery on Sunday.
Young has been consistent throughout and is currently batting .335/.394/.581 with 22 steals in 28 attempts. He tops the Southern League in homers and RBI (59) and is second in slugging.

Rick Ankiel went 3-for-4 with a home run and six RBI yesterday for Single-A Quad Cities.
Ankiel, who was expected to play for Double-A Springfield before he hurt his back in April, is hitting .263/.330/.588 with seven homers in 22 games in the Midwest League.
huh...who knew? :dunno:

I know, that is my bad, 'cause you just did the leapfrog! :D
After a lull of a few weeks this league has really tightened up a bunch.

This is a great league (of course I'm in third so that makes me like it a little extra), but when the top 3 teams are seperated by only 2 and 4.5 points, an the 4-6th place teams are certainly within striking distance it makes everything a lot more fun.

I dunno...I liked it better when I had a double-digit lead! :lol:
I'm getting closer..... :evil:

As commish, I decided it was in the best interest of the league to allow more people at the top of the standings.
By throwing my team into a tailspin, I have created more interest for you guys, and have allowed the league to flourish.
At least thats what I keep telling myself. :lol:
Damn...third place. Wow. Congrats to GHR714 for taking the lead.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Certainly did not expect to be in first place, thought Striking Back had a much better chance. However, I would like to thank my parents, my fiancee, Brian Roberts, and Julio Lugo for all contributing to my rise to the top (5 SB in one night :eek: ). It is nice to finally break the Knights strangle hold on first, though wy pitchers played way over their heads this week and I do expect to be back in 2nd-3rd place by Monday morning. Thank You all.

I think the most important issue is the revolving door that has become the top 6 teams. Honestly, I think any of those 6 teams has a chance in the end to take the title.
Not fill your head, but that was great run for the Knights! Leading for nearly 12 weeks is quite an accomplishment. I just hope you don't get back up there for another 12 weeks! :D
As for the first place team, Team JackedUp has their sights set on the GM and team owner of the 714 club.

The 714 club is veerrryy exclusive only 2 are currently there so setting your sights on it may be over-reaching.
Hey, where are the props for breaking NY Knights strangle hold on first place?

You were beat to it yesterday! GHR 714 held the lead for a day! Although, you might be on top today, it looks like the top 4 are going to become a revolving door.

Haha, so no props for ending the oppressive rule of GHR 714?

Well, I will give that one to ya! :D
D. Lee has gone deep twice today. At the rate he and Andruw are hitting 'em out, I going to have 70 points in the offense category.

Anyone WANT Corey Patterson? Seriously, I'll take anything. A couple GMail invites, bag of sunflower seed SHELLS swept up from the dugout floor, perhaps the opportunity to help the son of an international diplomat obtain $40million dollars simply by letting them use my bank account - anything?
28Ks in 83ABs in June....that's 34%!! Same as Adam Dunn (24/69)!
I'm in 3 leagues this year, and sadly, I targeted him in each league. Never really overpaid, or drafted too early, but this guy is just awful. I somehow managed to pawn him off for Berkman in one league, but I think I'm stuck with him now in the other 2.
