Doubling up here on fantasy stuff. Pick 6 is under way for the week. You should note that there is also a weekly leaderboard for Pick 6, and I've decided that, beginning this round, whoever comes up top of the weekly chart will be eligible to receive a pair of SnakePit season tickets. Unfortunately, it you live out of state, there won't be an alternate, but feel free to fly in to Phoenix to make use of your prize. Limit one win per person: if you win again, the prize drops to the first available. Of course, you have to be in it to win it, and this will reward those who take part every day.
After the jump, fantasy league reports, standings, etc.
AZ SnakePit 0, The Fighting Amish 9
Amish came within one save of a whitewash, but still blanked Snake behind Braun's four HR and seven RBI. Dunn chipped in with three HR. On the mound, Wainwright delivered two wins and 13 strikeouts, with Rodriguez notching both a W and a Save, on their way to a collective 2.20 ERA.
Mizzoula Osprey 6, Sofa King Juiced 4
Recent trade partners faced off, with Osprey coming out on top, mostly due to their edge in hitting, LaHair had three homers for them, and Ramirez drove in seven. Sofa were typically strong in pitching, with 87 K's - Darvish had 20, and Wilson 13, plus two W - but came up just short.
Alabama Slammers 4, Blonde Streaks 5

Los Wailoracles 2, MyWieterGetzLongoria 7
Wieter came close to sweeping pitching behind Weaver's no hitter and Moore (W + 11 K). Aceves had 11 strikeouts for Los, who did better at the dish, thanks to hitter of the week Freeman (three HR, ten RBI); Pence also had three HR. Kipnis scored and drove in six for Longoria.
soco knows 3, Waffles 7
Closer than this looked, Waffles taking BA by only .005, and Wins + Sv by one. They got important help from Upton (seven R, three SB) and Alvarez (six R, six RBI), while Hunter homered twice for soco. Drabek fanned ten for Waffles, and Capps got the only save for either side.
Phoenix Platypi 5, Ignatius J. Rallies 5
