Festivus Miracles 309.5 @ Jackanapes 404.5
Despite losing 6 of 9 positional matchups to the Miracles, the Napes relied upon their two #1 draft picks (Randy Johnson - 2005; Dan (rough translation) Matsuzaka - 2007) to pull them through to just the 2nd 400-point game of the season.

Da Infidels 319 @ The Darned Sox 375
TDS also lost the positional battle, but instead of relying upon fancy draft choices with more potential than experience, they employed a couple of 50 year old pitchers (John Smoltz, b. 5-15-67; Matt Morris, b. 8-9-74 (holy shit, that dude hasn't aged well)). 
Da Infidels, meanwhile, would've picked up a solid first win had they been playing any one of 5 other teams during the week, but unfortunately they weren't so they didn't so they remain on a record-setting pace.
Not So Fragile Flowers 291 @ Savage Sickos 361
Jason Giambi wasn't wrong enough this week for the NSFF, who, as the league-wide trend continues, outscored the victorious SaSis on the positional front, who made hay with their pitching friends from the north (Erik Bedard) and south (Jose Valverde) of the border. Meanwhile, all-American astronaut-food-eating Barry Zito barely left orbit for the NSFF with his 1 point.

Naps 272.5 @ The Consummate Bastards 348
The Naps couldn't be bothered to try to make a game of it by continuing the week's primary trend of outhitting their opponent while being outpitched; taking away the league-leading 44 pt. performance of David Wright, they managed a .206 avg and a mere 101 offensive points. Billy "B.B." Butler may have given the Bastards a solid gold 0 on the week, but apparently he's just there because the rules mandate a leftfielder in the lineup. Bastard pitchers also led the league in pickoffs; thus, the unfounded correlation between leading the league in pickoffs and winning games remains intact.
Slipstream Starlings 312 @ All the wrong Cubs 295
Another trend falls as ATWC fail to make it a clean sweep for the home teams this week, although they did manage to outhit the Starlings, who got their bread buttered and victory snatched with the aid of free agent pickup Jamie Shields, the man who was dumped to make room for John Patterson (who was dumped for Kei Igawa (who was dumped for Phil Hughes)). I dunno why he dropped that guy; maybe he'll die. ATWC gained no help this week from Adam Wainwright, the man who was drafted to be their closer (while Papelbon was set to become a starter (and Isringhausen was drafted while all of the above was failing to materialize and later dropped)).
