Well yesterday downright sucked for Home Runs among Derby players. Only three HR were hit in the Derby yesterday by two players. One by Vlad Guerrero and two by Sammy Sosa. Sosa has now hit Home Runs in 44 different ballparks – and that’s a record.
I find it interesting that the only Derby teams with Sosa in their Group E Roster are the two women in the Derby. And one of them is on the leaderboard.
Standings update
The El Guapos still hold the top spot with 67 HR, but the lead has been cut down to 3 by a newcomer to the leaderboard, Empire of Dirt (64 HR). And look – of of the Sosa girls, Sea Dog MV is only 4 HR back in third place all by her lonesome. Morneau’s BS MVP (Nick the Greek’s 2nd Favorite team) rounds out the top four before the 18 team logjam within 3 HR of each other.
Injury Update
- Torii Hunter got hit by a pitch in the mouth yesterday, but was miraculously spared serious injury and is probable for tonight’s game. Apparently KC didn’t like having their 4 bottles of Dom taken away from them. KC P Zack Greinke really wanted a glass.
- Troy Glaus in still on the DL
- Jermaine Dye missed a game with a sore back but should play this weekend
- Jim Thome missed a game with sore ribs but should play this weekend
- Ken Griffey has colon problems and is questionable for the weekend (Bartolo Colon?)
- Chris Duncan hit his head in a hotel room but should play this weekend vs the Cubs
The weekend is gonna be great weather, so don’t expect much in posts.
Standings will be updated.
