First 2 weeks in August

Working out format and what not, but for August it'll be in two week reports, likely to go to weekly in September, as long as there are races going on. And there are races going on. Cleveland and the Yankees are moving in on Detroit in the AL and the Cubs have caught the Reds, almost, in the NL. The HR race in the NL has seen Fisk catch Horner as well.

INJURY NEWS
8/2 A's slugger Eric Soderholm will miss the next 5 weeks with a sprained ankle. He is hitting .294-17-60.

8/5 Senators 21 year old Dennis Martinez (2-8 2 Saves 5.70) will miss at least another week with a bad ankle.

WEEK 13 AL POTW-Omar Infante (NYY) 15-30 2 HR's 8 RBI's 9 Runs (.307-8-33)
WEEK 13 NL POTW-Michael Tucker (STL) 12-19 1 HR 7 RBI's 4 Runs (.285-9-50)

MLB OPS Leaders 8/7/50
Sam Thompson (CHI) 1.099
J.D. Drew (BRO) 1.066
Joe Hague (PHI) 1.027
Jimmy Walsh (CIN) 1.021
Brian McCann (PIT) 1.019

GREAT GAMES
8/8 St Louis Cardinal Danny Murtaugh went 5-5 with 2 RBI's in a 15-5 win over Pittsburgh. He's hitting .232-0-24 in 65 games.


INJURY NEWS
8/9 Detroit ace J.R. Richard suffered a big blow today, with a sever groin injury the All Star Starter is expected to miss the next 6 weeks. He is 13-5 3.29 with 153 K's and 101 walks in 200 IP. The Tigers are currently 4.5 games up on Cleveland in the AL.

8/9 St Louis Browns star slugger Reggie Smith, who has not taken a swing all year after his spring training injury, has been pushed back at least another 4 months in his rehab. Meaning the 1950 season is a complete wash for the 30 year old slugger expected to anchor the Browns lineup this year. St Louis is 6th in the NL in HR's and 7th in runs scored, with Ian Kinlser (315-20-92) and Smith they could have been a much tougher club, now sitting 16 back of Detroit.

WEEK 14 AL POTW-Rich Reese (NYY) 12-21 2 HR's 6 RBI's 6 Runs (his 3rd POTW) (.306-26-89)
WEEK 14 NL POTW-Carlton Fisk (BRO) 14-22 4 HR's 7 RBI's 11 Runs (.326-36-94)
