Sunday's report

OVERALL STANDINGS

1. Gladstone Goatwhisperers (Arik) 2566
    204-point week not enough for weekly win
2. Upton No Good (Bill-Rich) 2525
   Not a good week for pitchers: Ely -8, EJax 0, Chacin 4
3. Arbitration Losers (Tim) 2482
   Ethier gets hit and run, Byrd just a hit Sunday night, so Losers are losers
4. Misfits (Reid) 2450
5. Pickle Bugs (Jon) 2439
   Heath Bell save helps Bugs earn win
6. VC Appraisers (Kevin-Dave) 2379
    Just can't seem to keep 2B healthy
7. Fresh Fish (Rick) 2373
    Not a Lucroytive week at catcher
8. Pitch You Blockhead! (Scott) 2322
   Break-out week—No, a Bust-out week for Posey
9. Chico's Chuggers (Shawn) 2298
   Head-to-head loss means playoffs likely out of picture
10. Triple-A's (Ken) 2266
    Never fails: Soto sits, so Soto goes off

Head-to-head finals

Pickle Bugs 190, Arbitration Losers 189
Pitch You Blockhead! 219, Gladstone Goatwhisperers 204
VC Appraisers 174, Upton No Good 162
Triple-A's 182, Chico's Chuggers 139
Misfits 185, Fresh Fish 134
