The Commissioner's Corner - Week 6

League News

Kurt visits The Teej and Kris Bryant hits his first home run.

Milestones and Historical Perspective

Race to 1,300 wins:

1. James (1,292) 
2.  TJ (1,290)

Hey, look at this!

This is our brand new segment called "Hey, look at this!" where I find mildly interesting historical stats and present them to you in a way that may or may not mildly interest you.

Many of last year's contenders have stumbled out of the gate:

"But Richie, there's a lot of baseball left!"

That's true, my little ones.  But 5 of the top 6 teams at this time last year made the playoffs.  The one playoff team that was outside the top 6 at this time last year was Jarrett, who was DFL and stormed back to get a bye.

Incentives

WWE Belt

Payouts: $50 at the All-Star Break, $75 at the end of the regular season

Belt holder:  Richie falls one win short of retaining the belt; instead, TJ takes it by a 5-4 margin.  Last week I included TJ in the group of managers who have never won, and also stated that he was 3 weeks away from even getting a shot at it.  This was not intentional, and the fact that no one caught this makes me wonder if anyone is reading this.

Shutout Pool
Week 6 pot: $30

A competitive week across the board failed to produce any shutout bids.

Neighborhood Rumble

         
Payouts:  $25 to the Islington and Westwood champion, $50 to the Tournament champ

Dates: Week 16ish – talk to Kurt for more details.
