Congrats!
CS -- I just screwed up (my first mistake as moderator). I noticed that my topic on this subject was a duplicate so I tried to delete it. Unfortunately, the topic that you had created was deleted by mistake. I didn't even know I could do it. So.....the previous topic on players of the week seems to be gone, unless Julie can restore it.
I apologize to those of you that contributed to the earlier topic and to the families of previous winners.
Maybe I'm too old for this job.

I will post the details of this weeks article here if that is okay...

Speaking of good players. How is that future Bear doing so far? Tater Salad says all his atheletic ability came from his mothers side of the family.
That is what you get for listening to Tater Salad.
He is doing well, although a little frustrated with how the team is playing. Not seeing many belt-high fastballs these days either, but that is his problem...
Looks like Mav-son is having a monster season, as are the Tigers. Keep it going and have one of your pitchers plunk Arnsberg for me when you play Lamar...tell him it is from TC...
