Fantasy Friday.

CURRENT STANDINGS:

1.) Kyle (obviously)
2.) Lotz
3.) Geoff
4.) Pat
5.) Mikey
6.) David
7.) Don

Ruther takes a tumble all the way to 6th place, while Geoff is only 5 points behind Lotz for 2nd place. Don, per usual, is still in the cellar. KYLE IS KILLING IT. OH YEAH!

PLAYER OF THE WEEK THAT’S NOT ON MY TEAM:

Ryan Braun, OF, Milwaukee Brewers (Geoff’s team)

Well this would have gone to Andre Ethier, but Braun went bananas yesterday in the Brewers 20-0 shellacking of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Braun got literally half of his week point total in yesterday’s game. So, yeah. Once again Mikey comes up just short.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK THAT IS ON MY TEAM:

Matt Kemp, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers

Kemp is going ape nuts. Yes, ape nuts. It’s that serious.

.333, 3 HRs, 7 RBI, 8 runs, 5 BBs.

He is currently the best player in our entire league, AND I GOT HIM WITH THE 5TH PICK IN THE ENTIRE DRAFT! THANKS FOR PASSING ON HIM, DON. THIS WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU. ALSO, DID YOU GET THAT TEXT MESSAGE I SENT YOU? I FEEL LIKE IT MIGHT NOT HAVE SENT BECAUSE I WAS GETTING A TEXT AT THE SAME TIME AND MY BLACKBERRY TENDS TO NOT WORK HALF OF THE TIME. I DON’T KNOW WHY I’M STILL WRITING IN CAPS, BUT IT COULD BE THAT I’M TOO LAZY TO REACH MY PINKY OVER AND HIT THE CAPS LOCK KEY. ONE MORE THING: MATTTTTTT KEEEEEMMMMMMMPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

2010 stats to date:
.333, 7 HR, 20 RBI, 20 runs, 2 steals, 8 BB, 1 girlfriend named Rihanna.

JASON HEYWARD UPDATE:

Past week — .211, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 2 runs, 4 BB
Season to date — .269, 4 HRs, 16 RBI, 8 runs, 10 BB

“Jason the Destroyer” had a very average week and didn’t do anything to really cause excitement.  Well, besides hitting the game tying home run with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th against arch rival Philadelphia.

Fun fact about that game?  Kyle Kendrick started that game.  Kyle Kendrick went to High School with me and I’ve known him since we were like 10.  Kyle Kendrick has been sucking — a lot — and actually pitched really, really well.  He winds up with the no decision.  I’m pretty sure he was pissed.  Also, in case you’re wondering, I’m 1-4 lifetime off of Kendrick.  In little league, I hit a double off of him my very first at bat.  Then the next three I saw 9 pitches, and all of them were strikes.  So while I’m just 1 for 4 with 3 Ks, hey, that’s a career .250 batting average against a guy who plays baseball professionally.  Not bad for a guy who blogs professionally — minus the paycheck.
