The Fightin' Primobolans Weekend Update and Week in Review: 7/25-26/09

Got home late from a fondue function in Sandy last night, so didn't get a chance to update. SO, I'll double dip today, along with providing the new feature: The Week in Review!

Let's get to Saturday's action:
MVP-Gavin Floyd, Chicago White Sox-6.2 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 7 K

Not the smoothest line of the day (adding to the fact the bullpen blew the win), but the 7 strikeouts are the reason I keep this guy around. He has 7 K's in each of his last three starts, and just crossed the 100 strikeout mark for the season.

LVP-Mike Cameron, Milwaukee Brewers-0/3, R

Only three hits this whole week for Cameron. Might be on the way out unless he gets hot soon.

Now for the best and worst from Sunday!

MVP-Justin Morneau, Minnesota Twins-2/4, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 2 R

An emphatic exclamation point to cap a sensational week for Morneau. Doing it at the expense of the red-hot Angels makes it even more impressive. He may just end up as the Primobolans' season MVP.

LVP-Ryan Ludwick, St. Louis Cardinals-0/4

Russell Branyan went 0/4, too, but I'll always take slighting a Cardinal any day. I drafted Ludwick, dropped him when he got hurt, and then picked him up again about two weeks ago. He's done OK since then, but not enough to keep the Cubs out of first place in the Central (Whoo-hoo!)

And now, let's take a look at the week that was with THE WEEK IN REVIEW!

A huge Monday set the pace for a dominating week for the Primobolans. Even though the final score against the Utah Lint Trap was 6-4, the numbers weren't that close. This is the 6th straight weekly win for the Primobolans, still tied for the division lead with the almost equally hot 92. With Movement, who wrapped up their 5th straight win today.
Now for the coronation for the MVP of the Week!

Justin Morneau, Minnesota Twins-.333 AVG, 5 HR, 11 RBI, 8 R in 7 games

Can you believe this guy fell to me in the 4th round? Two multi-homer games this week were enough for Morneau to beat out Ryan Braun for the award.
Next Up: A HUGE matchup against fellow division leader GAME OVER.
