Jud falls out of first place, by just a three HBP margin, as Albert Pujols falls one RBI behind Carlos Gonzalez. Meanwhile, Sid Harris takes exception to the idea that someone could break his record for correct picks. With just over a week to go in the season, three participants are tied with a pool record eight correct categories. But, as things stand right now, David Jones's HBP total gives him a tenuous hold on the top spot.
There are still quite a few categories to watch, but two players in particular whose performance will have a major impact on the pool's outcome are Albert Pujols and Felix Hernandez. Put simply, Dave needs Hernandez to maintain his AL strikeout margin over Jered Weaver, and Jud needs Pujols to reclaim his NL RBI lead. Sid's chances are a little more of a long-shot at this point.

With just two weeks to go in the year, Jud is making a run at the pool record for number of correct picks in a season, a mark established when Sid Harris recorded eight in our inaugural season of 2005. However, that's not to say he has this thing wrapped up, as David Jones trails him by only one category and six other participants are just two back.
As always, the tiebreaker category looks to play a significant role in the pool's outcome, as all six of those in places 3-8 trail both Jud and David by at least four HBP, making the deficit a little harder for them to overcome. David, although trailing by one category, holds a three HBP advantage over Jud, so he'll probably only need to tie for the top spot to take this year's prize.

Jud grabs the lead back from David, by virtue of 3 RBI by Albert Pujols in the Cards' tough loss to Atlanta yesterday. Former champs Jon Pauley and Sid Harris still lurk with 7 correct picks, along with pool vet Steve Craig.
On the AL side, Felix Hernández recovered his strikeout lead and maintained his league-best ERA, despite yielding seven runs (four earned) to the Angels in 6 1/3 IP.
Still lots of categories up for grabs... check http://mlbpool.blogspot.com/ for pool standings during the week.

David Jones reclaims the top spot as the AL strikeout seesaw tips back to Felix Hernández. David and Jud are the only entrants in our top ten with 40+ HBP...
The AL runs race looks pretty exciting, with the top four (Teixeira, Crawford, Jeter, Cabrera) all pool picks and separated by only 5 runs. On the NL side, the Triple Crown dreams of Albert Pujols are in serious jeopardy as his mini-slump continues (6 for 35, 4 RBI in last 10 games).
Starting pitching's all about Felix and CC, Halladay and Wainwright at this point, although Lincecum could still scrape together another strikeout title. NL saves is showing some separation, as the Padres continue to plummet.
We'll send updates every weekend until late September, when we'll email more frequently. Our blogsite at http://mlbpool.blogspot.com/ is the best bet for the latest pool standings and other news.
Good luck!!!
