Home Run Derby Contest Update – 6/30/09 – June Review
Posted by: Richie Rich in Contests, The DerbyCongratulations to our June winner …
FLASH CARDS (77 HR)
Last night, Flash Cards scored 7 HR and literally came out of nowhere to knock Komodos (74 HR) off the top of the June leaderboard. And take the $50 prize.
For almost all of June, a certain lizard sat atop the monthly standings in out fair Home Run Derby contest. But the Komodos learned the hard way that it’s only that last day that matters.
Going into last night’s action, the Komodos had 72 Home Runs and a 2-HR lead over Flash Cards, RDRR, and Fletch. The problem was that those three teams all had Albert Pujols and his two home runs … and Komodos didn’t.
RDRR finished second in June with 76 HR. More on him later.
At the end of June … your First Half Leaderboard looks a lot like it did the rest of the month.
Seriously.
Will someone knock these three off the leaderboard? There are twelve days left in the First Half for someone to rise up and show some nards and win this thing.
Anyway, David Wright can Bite Me leads with 242 HR. he’s followed by Aural Sects with 24 HR and Heavy Hitters with 239 HR.
And now we head into July … and guess who’s coming back?
That’s right. Manny. And he’ll have the hopes and dreams of nearly 90 Derby teams on his back. Not to mention the weight of that 50-game suspension monkey.
Suddenly, thre are a lot of teams who will have a shot at the July monthly prize and the 2nd half Prize. And a few teams who have done pretty well without Manny … and could be considered favorites to crash the leaderboard in the near future.
The best team with Manny? Gotta be ChiTownKaz ? Tied for 8th Place overall right now with 226 HR. And he’s getting Manny back.
Remember RDRR? He’s in a 10th place tie with 225 HR. Just missed out on the July prize by one Home Run. And he did it with 14 players.
