Friday night was a rough night for Dave. Jered Weaver notched four strikeouts, just enough to overtake Felix Hernandez for the AL lead. So, unless Seattle changes their mind (unlikely) about shutting down Hernandez, that point is lost. Also, the Yankees were rained out, and now will play a doubleheader with the Red Sox starting at 4pm today. It's highly unlikely that Jeter and A-Rod will play in both games.
Technically, Dave now stands in fourth place, but he's still the only one with a shot at beating Jud. He needs two of the following three things to happen to be victorious:
- Albert Pujols loses the NL RBI crown (Carlos Gonzalez still trails by one).
- Alex Rodriguez wins or ties for the AL RBI crown (he stands three behind Miguel Cabrera).
- Derek Jeter wins or ties for the AL runs lead (he's one behind Cabrera and Mark Teixeira).
Of course, this means Dave is rooting hard for Gonzalez, Jeter and A-Rod for the remainder of this weekend. $460 is on the line.
