So with a couple days left in July, we should probably update the Home Run Derby contest standings, huh?
Here goes (albeit quickly)
There’s three days left to determine the July monthly cash prize … and something called ZARG 4 leads everybody with 69 Home Runs in July. He’s trailed by Jedi Baseball (67) and Brett Favre Comeback Tour (66 HR).
I had a hard time figuring out what the heck a “ZARG” was to make the appropriate avatar (and the team owner hasn’t responded to emails) so I took a stab at it as a Calvin and Hobbes reference. If it’s not a made-up word, the only other thing I think it could be is a predator that was once on the old Babylon 5 TV show.
Two weeks into the Second Half, and it’s a 42-Homer tie between It’s a New Century and Jules.
That’s right … the Second Half is being co-led by my six-year-old daughter (she made her own picks). That’s her running the bases at Miller Park a couple years ago.
ZARG 4 (41 HR), Wrigley Drunks (41 HR), and ChiTown Kaz (40 HR) round out the 2nd Half leaderboard.
In the full season standings, the top three are still the same – but their order has changed.
Both David Wright can Bite Me (297 HR) and Heavy Hitters (295 HR) leapt past Aural Sects (294 HR) on the leaderboard.
There’s an 8-HR cushion between the bottom of the leaderboard and the top of the also-rans. One of these days, Coop Cooper, ChiTownKaz, BackBackBackBack, or RDRR are going to make a run at the leaders.
