AZ SnakePit 1, Ignatius J. Rallies 8
Rallies cruised to a very comfortable win, getting two wins and seven K's from Buerhle, while Teixeira had three homers and seven RBI and Lowell had six runs and seven RBI. SnakePit's sole point came thanks to Phillips' three stolen-bases, and Nathan had three saves for them.

Douchebaggery 6, GregSchulteOverdrive 2
Neither side caught fire at the plate - they combined for only four HR and 28 RBI: nobody on either side drove in more than three. Douche had the edge, getting seven runs from Upton and five by Schumaker, took SB 5-0, while three pitchers got a save. Moyer notched 15 K's for Greg.

dbacktom 4, warlords 4
The Game of the Week saw the two sides totally deadlocked: SB and, remarkably, WHIP both ended level. tom led on offense, Crawford and Ankiel each homering three times. However, their pitchers had no wins and a 6.75 ERA. Papelbon had three saves for war, while Garland's 1.00 WHIP was crucial.

The Fighting Amish 5, last place 4
Amish had to fight hard for the win, after last took four of the five hitting categories: Quentin had two HR, 5 RBI and an SB. But Amish rode Lincecum to 11 K's and a zero ERA, and Santana added 12 K's. Their staff had a 2.06 ERA on the week, and Lincecum's win was enough for a split there, and overall victory.

Tucson Myth 8, Shenanigans 2.0 2
Delgado's nine RBI game in New York powered Myth's offense, helped by six stolen bases from Pierre. Shen hit .299 and got seven RBI from Cano, but a 7.62 ERA sunk their chances. Garza had a W and 10 K's for Myth, while Jones had a W and a Sv as they swept pitching on their way to an easy win.

7-2 Offsuiters 4, Kapsaicin Kids 4
A very even game: both hitting and pitching ended 2-2, with one category tied. 7-2 got seven RBI from Berkman, but Kids countered with three HR by Wright. Similarly, on the mound, Kids got 15 K from Lowe and three saves by Wilson, but Billingsley (W + zero ERA) and Bergman (W + 0.93 WHIP) were as good for Kids.

Adriano Rosario's 7, Crazy VIII's 3
VII's can count themselves a bit unlucky: three Wins and a 2.90 ERA were not good enough, Rosario getting four and a 2.62 ERA - Harden had a W and 11 K's for them, while Peavy had 12 K's for VIII. At the plate, Rosario got three HR and ten RBI from Longoria, and they took four of the five categories.

Desert Dingleberries 5, Blonde Streaks 4
Blonde might just have the best all-time pitching line: 6 W, 5 Sv, 42 K, 0.78 ERA, 0.89 WHIP. Wow. Brocail got two wins in relief, but Burnett had two wins and 18 K's for Desert. They also dominated at the plate, Beltre driving in eight and Victorino stealing three. Pedroia had seven runs and two HR for Blonde.

Desert Storm BC 3, Wimboes Barmy Army 7
Abreu was Wimboes' star, with 6 R, 9 RBI and 3 SB, as the team overall hit .298, to take all but one of the offensive points. Storm got two HR and seven RBI from Dye. Lackey had two wins and 15 K's for Wimboes, but Storm took both, with Rodriguez getting a win and nine K's.

Arizona Muugens 2, SHUperMen 7
SHU were hardly an offensive tornado - .261, 6 HR, 23 RBI - but took all hitting points, and that was the difference. Ramirez and Hart each had two HR for them. On the mound things were even, a W and 14 K for Sheets [SHU] being countered by 12 K's for Beckett [Muugens]. Neither side managed to save a game during the week.

An even easier pick for Game of the Week, as the top two face off in a battle of the titans, Amish vs. warlords. Amish have put together four wins in a row, with a 27-12 record over that time, but warlords showed last week that they didn't get to the top just because of a weak schedule, holding dbacktom to a tie.Their outfield Red Sox duo of Ramirez and Drew have combined for 31 homers and 100 RBI already. However, Amish's 1-2 punch of Lincecum and Santana, with Sherrill's 26 saves, are a formidable opponent.
