Hey All!
I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing Labor Day Weekend!!!! The traditional end of summer also marks the start of the last few weeks of the baseball season. It's an exciting time in the big leagues and the Longball League. Let's look at the standings...
The San Pedro Sea Monkeys are starting to put some distance between themselves and the rest of the field. Another big week for Albert Pujols has the Monkeys within striking distance of the pennant.
Sitting in second place are those SoCal Capuchins. Chase Utley's zero point week really hurt the Caps this week. They'll need a couple of big weeks from Adam Dunn and Utley to make a run at the flag.
The Vacuous Vipers are in a tough three team battle to stay in the upper division. Evan Longoria's big week of four homers and 11 RBIs are the reason why the Vipers are hanging on to third place.
Just a couple points back of the Vipers in fourth place are the Keen Koalas. They dropped Adam Dunn and picked up Ryan Howard this past week. Howard had a far better week than Dunn, so the move seems to be paying off so far for the Koalas.
Down in fifth are the Invisible Hands. The hands are only five points out of third place. It will be fun to see if the Hands can make a run at third place to end the season.
The Sierra Vista Coachwhips are still down in last place. Wait 'til next year, 'whip fans.
Baseball Card of the Week: This week we salute Sixto Lezcano with a look at his 1977 Topps issue. Why Sixto? His name always makes me laugh when I look at his baseball card.
Trivia: Sixto Lezcano is the only guy to ever play in the big leagues whose name was Sixto. Now, that's some really trivial trivia.
Until next week folks, keep hittin' em where they ain't
