* Apologies to pistolcub42, who is the only one who has David Dellucci. I had missed his homers recently, and he has now been corrected (from 3 to 9). *

Okay, I know a lot of us are suffering from people not pulling their weight (aka low HR totals), but how many of you are suffering from the injury bug now?

 

I have Crede with his sore back flaring up, Wilkerson could be out for the year, and now Lowell has foot problems.

[soccer10k]

<- has Derrek Lee

 

I think I speak for a lot of people with this one.

Actually you only speak for 8 others. :D

I made a cut/copy/paste error with the database, but I will be fixing it tonight and I will post the up-to-date results after tonight's games have concluded.

If I would have picked Ryan Howard over Derrek Lee I would have 282 and would be in 3rd place.

[sherwood921]

UMFan83, it looks like it's going to come down to my

 

Dunn Bay Helton Huff

 

vs. your

 

Howard Abreu Holliday Chipper

 

Should be a good one

[UMFan83]

Very interesting. I can't believe I'm competing with Abreu and Chipper

[sherwood921]

I can't believe I am competing having picked Beltre. Huff and Helton aren't helping very much either.

You're pulling away. I need Beltre, Helton and Huff to pick it up...oh who am I kidding.
