So this beautiful Friday is going to be one of my busiest - in addition to my Pick 6 responsibilities here and at my actual job, today is the transfer deadline for European soccer teams (think the MLB trading deadline multiplied by about fifty). As you might know I write for the SB Nation Arsenal blog as well, so I've been keeping track of movements there too - all in all, I have a ton of things to do, all at once.
So it's a really, really good thing that it's 50-Cent Friday, so I don't have to think too much about my team (in terms of economic balance, at least).
Here are yesterday's scores:
| Rank | Player | Score |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CajoleJuice | 58.7 |
| 2 | HELLYEAHGARYOAK | 53.0 |
| 3 | BobbyV_Incognito | 50.9 |
| 4 | Ceetar | 48.6 |
| 5 | OroscoSchiraldi | 41.9 |
And here's the weekly standings, heading into weekend games:
| Rank | Player | Score |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | HELLYEAHGARYOAK | 161.8 |
| 2 | Ceetar | 144.8 |
| 3 | IanB in MD | 143.3 |
| 4 | James Ubriaco | 123.2 |
| 5 | meigs1414 | 111.1 |
HELLYEAHGARYOAK has vaulted back into the lead after a strong second-place showing yesterday, but there's still a lot of game left - and the scores are not that far apart. I was mediocre yesterday, as is par for the course most days.
| Position | Player | Score |
|---|---|---|
| SP | Jon Niese | 5.8 |
| C | Ryan Doumit | 8.5 |
| CI | Albert Pujols | 10.1 |
| MI | Ian Desmond | 7.2 |
| OF | Matt Holliday | 1.6 |
| RP | Jose Valverde | 0.0 |
Holliday's bad day and Valverde not pitching really killed me. Maybe I'll do better on the cheap tonight.
