Random Thoughts while wondering which is longer, Cav in bed, or Juan Gonzales return from the DL….

I feel for Rob, he is one of the BAB originals, and has made it out to as many games as anyone, yet he is one of the last players to be a Captain. Maybe the baseball gods are saving the best for last?
4 K’s in a game? I didn’t see the Skillz exception in the rule book stating that he had to take his AB’s blindfolded. With that 4 K performance Skillz shot past Danny for the dubious distinction of league leader in that category.
Torance is on fire right now and has closed the gap in HR’s to a measly 2. (23 to Cav’s 25) This prompted Torance to predict to a few people that he will win this years HR title. Cav responded to that by saying he wants the RBI title more. (He currently holds a 20 RBI edge over Torance)
Congrats Rob! Rob surpassed last years win total for the entire season with his 12^th win of 2005.
I would like to also recognize Rob and Tito for all their hard work on the stats each week. They take the time to update all the stats and they usually do them right after the games. Thanks guys…
Santa Clara High School has allegedly removed the girl’s softball fence which hopefully opens the field for BAB’s return to the city of Santa Clara. Of course, when it seems too good to be true…
Cav says that for the first time all season his back is not bothering him. I don’t know how much it was bothering him before, but a healthy Cav is a productive Cav so I would expect some great numbers from him this series.
I was hoping to have the teams drafted by now so I could comment on the teams, but I guess the captains are waiting till the last minute.

Player Rankings

	Player	Comments	Avg.	HR's	RBI's	Up/Down	Last Week
1	Cav	Still my choice as best player in the league, but it's getting close.	.637	25	95	0	1
2	Torance	Another great weekend saw him get within 2 HR's of Cav.	.647	23	75	0	2
3	Nick	Living up to the hype. Saw his talent in the few games he played in '04 but didn't know if it would carry over more games. Well it has.	.656	7	20	N/A	N/A
4	Brandon R.	Batting nearly .700, still playing the good D. Luckily drafting is not factored into these rankings.	.696	6	34	-1	3
5	Bryan	Still trying to find his swing in BAB but it's clear that the talent is there. I expect big numbers from him in the next series.	.539	2	16	+3	8
6	Rob	Drop had less to do with his play, and more to do with the emergence of two rookies.	.583	2	42	-1	5
7	Greg M.	Approaching .600 and a lot of RBI's. Don't forget about the glove too.	.594	0	28	-3	4
8	Tito	Collared with an O'fer in the first game of the DH, responded in the nightcap with a HR and 3 RBI's.	.500	6	33	-2	6
9	Joel	Scores a lot of runs, and has a fair amount of RBI's.	.500	1	26	N/A	N/A
#	Soonam	Avg keeps climbing. Who will homer first, Minor or Soonam?	.513	0	26	-3	7
