The Check Swing: Week 10

1. Manwaring a Muumuu (1,915 points, 8-2): The Muumuu crew extends its lead over second place to 207 points, but there might be cracks in the armor. Michael Cuddyer is banged up, Carl Crawford is on the DL, and Matt Harvey and Wandy Rodriguez aren't 100 percent.

2. Misfits (1,708 points, 6-4): A big week moves Reid's team up from fifth place. Imagine what they could have done if Chase Utley and Bryce Harper had been in the lineup.

3. Testosteraun Braun (1,688 points, 7-3): Ryan Zimmeman scored 6 points in his first full week with Bill's team, which falls one spot in the rankings. Evan Gattis and Lucas Duda didn't help much, either.

"Pitch, you blockhead! And get a cap that fits!"

4. Arbitration Losers (1,666 points, 5-5): David DeJesus filled in for the injured Matt Kemp and contributed a whopping 2 points — or about what Kemp would have done. And thanks for nothing, Johnny Cueto.

5. Going Going Gonzo (1,627 points, 4-6): Adrian Gonzalez, Martin Prado, Wilin Rosario, B.J. Upton and Jeff Samardzija failed to reach double digits for Jon this week. Also, Ian Kennedy and Trevor Cahill combined for minus-12 points.

6. Pitch You Blockhead (1,610 points, 7-3): The Blockheads leapfrogged the Zevon bunch thanks to huge weeks from Matt Carpenter, Carlos Gonzalez and Kris Medlen. On the other hand, Starling Marte scored only 4 points.

7. Lawyers, Guns & Money (1,593 points, 6-4): Matt might be the only Giants fans who's thrilled about the success of Yasiel Puig. The Dodgers' sensation scored 31 points in his debut week and is forming a scary outfield with Marcell Ozuna and Andrew McCutchen. What will become of Jayson Werth, Carlos Quentin and Jason Kubel?

8. Rookies (1,518 points, 2-8): Jason Heyward got back on track, but injuries to Stephen Strasburg and Rafael Betancourt hindered Henry's crew this week. And Yovani Gallardo isn't pitching any better.

9. Silver State Sagebrushers (1,414 points, 3-7): Three points from Starlin Castro. Two points from Welington Castillo. Six points from Justin Upton. Three points from Andre Ethier. Nothing to see here.

10. Fresh Fish (1,367 points, 2-8): Did Rick walk under a ladder or break a mirror? That might be the only explanation for the injury-riddled Fish. At least Hanley Ramirez is back. Or not.



Week 10: Sunday's report

Dan Uggla's biceps scored 10 points for Gonzo's bench.

STUDS: Jordan Zimmermann (Braun) got the win and struck out 8 in 7 shutout innings. Kyle Lohse (Sagebrushers) singled, scored, drove in a run and allowed 1 run while striking out 6 in an 8-inning win. Matt Holliday (Arbitration Losers) doubled, scored and hit a grand slam. Adam LaRoche (Rookies) doubled, singled twice, drove in 2 runs and scored 3 while playing both games in a doubleheader. Dexter Fowler (Sagebrushers) stole a base, doubled, singled 3 times, drove in 1 and scored 3 times.

DUDS: Paul Goldschmidt (Braun) and Martin Prado (Gonzo) each went 0 for 4 with an error. Adrian Gonzalez (Gonzo) singled but committed his 7th error.

NOTES: Commissioner Rich sent out an email about how we'll be handling call-ups from the minor leagues. Check your email for details.
