Nah, it's only 37 :P

[TruffleShuffle]

Teixeira is killing a lot of people's teams... dunno what happened to his power this year.

Or Derrek Lee.

Aramis isn't kicking much hiney either.

[soccer10k]

Aramis isn't kicking much hiney either.

 

At least Aramis is playing right now so he has the potential to.

[Southpaw191679666239]

I crossed the century mark! Woo! \:D/

[Laura]

Uh, sorry, Aramis!

[Mizzou]

I may have missed this, but... what's the prize for winning this thing?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I may have missed this, but... what's the prize for winning this thing?

 

From the thread with the entries.

 

Prize TBD -- probably one prize to the 1st place winner. The prize will depend on what is donated.

[Laura]

The HR Derby winner will get the Jeremy Hermida autographed bat.

[Southpaw191679666239]

Despite Aramis' recent push, I'm really glad I didn't use any Cubs for this HR derby.

 

104!! :cheers:

[TruffleShuffle]

I had some big games over the weekend and am up to 133. I want that bat!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Bay has hit 6 homers for me in the past 6 games. Awesome.

[TruffleShuffle]

Awesome indeed. I think Pujols is averaging a something like one homer per game on the season too.

[Southpaw191679666239]

How sad is it that I'm more amped to see the HRs every day by my participants, rather then checking on the Cubs score? :(

Not only am I more interested in that, I'm also more interested in how my fantasy team is doing. I was actually sort of happy about Miguel Cabrera's HR yesterday, because if the Cubs start winning they'll give a contract extension to Dumbsty.

[Southpaw191679666239]

I hope I'm not stepping on Truffle's toes, but I thought I would post an update... I could even do it daily if there's interest.

Assuming your numbers are correct a perfect socre is 167. Somebody can have (and does because I do) Morgan Ensberg and Alfonso Soriano. Somebody could also have Matt Holliday and Chris Shelton.

Good point... tie scores are hard! ;)

[otis89]

Hey! 20 home runs in 5 days from my team! Not bad.

Not to nitpick, but you have me 24 homers short here. I have 126.

 

Acrually, there are other inaccuracies in that list.

[Southpaw191679666239]

My apologies for the errors. There were a couple extra characters in a couple formulas, and I'm fixing them now. I will post the new/accurate list today.

[Southpaw191679666239]

Here is the (hopefully) fixed and most up-to-date (as of last night's games) HR Derby Update!
