PH4H World Series

Meanwhile, I nominate the Cubs and Nationals for the PH4H Fall Classic. The Nationals have lost 9 of 10 and are 9-21 since July 28. The Cubs followed their sweep by the Cardinals with a sweep by the worst team in the National League, the Pirates (though the Cubs and Nationals are seriously challenging Pittsburgh for that honor). Oh, and it gets better: a night after Cubs closer Ryan Dempster blew a lead in the 11th inning to lose it, Cubs closer Ryan Dempster blew a lead in the 11th inning to lose it.

PH4H Basebeall MVP

Well, there's just a bit over a month left in the season, so it's time to start thinking about the big awards, starting with PH4H MVP.

Of course, PH4H is all about the pitching, but for MVP, like in the actual game, batting and pitching should be judged independently.

Unless, something drastic happens in the next month, your PH4H MVP will be.... drumroll please.... Ronny Cedeno! The Cubs shortstop has 128.75 points in the league, which is over 30 above his closest competitor, Angel Berroa. Here's the top 5....

Ronny Cedeno (Cubs) 128.75
Angel Berroa (Royals) 95.25
Brad Ausmus (Astros) 89.50
Sal Fasano (Mets) 85.75
Royce Clayton (Reds) 71.50

I know, hard to believe that Jim Bowden traded away a PH4H MVP candidate in Clayton.

Now, for pitching.... this is much more interesting. First, I'm trying to come up with a name for this award.... what's the PH4H equivalent of the Cy Young award? Perhaps, it should be named at the end of the season after the winner.

If the season ended today, it would be the Ambiorix Burgos Award. It says alot about the state of Kansas City pitching that their CLOSER is currently in the lead.

But the pitching race is much closer than the batting race. Here's the top ten.

Ambiorix Burgos (Royals) 415.00
Solomon Torres (Pirates) 408.40
Carlos Silva (Twins) 407.60
Ramon Ortiz (Nationals) 389.20
Jason Marquis (Cardinals) 387.90
Joel Pineiro (Mariners) 383.60
Jeff Weaver (Cardinals) 376.20
Rodrigo Lopez (Orioles) 370.90
Jose Mesa (Rockies) 369.70
Mike Stanton (Giants) 364.60

Dan Snyder and Tom Cruise....

Who's crazier? Now, they're joining forces. Snyder signs Cruise to a two year deal. Can Tom playing running back? I guess L. Ron Hubbard will have to be a Redskins fan now.
