- \\ 2 Ties, .5 from a tie for Free Eats in Third Place…and the 2 highest point totals ever recorded (since Rockem stabilized our scoring).

Great Job BK, you have posted the best score in the era of official scoring…after having the highest score in the unofficial scoring days. You deserve the win…someone not in the mix may say I did too…but I won't dwell on that. Had a hell of season down in NOLA, and some day may be even able to calll it a success.

 ===== __THE ROCKEM SOCKEM 2010 AWARDS__ =====
-{{:rockem.jpg?nolink&792|rockem.jpg}} \\  \\ Continuing a tradition that is //Meah//  at best…unlike this picture which is **Boosh**  at worst. \\  \\ __**MVRSFP**__ - The Most Valuable Rockem Sockem Fantasy Player goes to…. \\  \\ {{:7850.jpg?nolink&65|7850.jpg}} \\ Troy "Babe Ruth" Tulowitzki. \\  \\ MVP's and championships are won in September and he carried the Highpockets to the Rockem Eets a Boat Trophy. While he is only the 22nd ranked player overall in our league, he would have been 222 without a September for the ages. Only Babe Ruth and the great Albert Belle have ever hit more in 1 calendar month…IN BASEBALL HISTORY!!! His september stats alone are better then most shortstops full seasons: 30 Runs, 15 HR's 40 RBI's 1.176OPS. Unreal. Nice work and while Miguel Caberara has a right to feel slighted, the voters were swayed by the late amazement. \\  \\ __**Rockem Sockem CY**__ - Goes to the best fantasy pitcher this year, and the voters have spoken: \\  \\ Adam Wainwright \\  \\ Sure Halladay was impressive, Ubaldo's first half was unreal, Oswalt thought it was 2001, all had fine seasons, but Wainwright takes the cake, 6th ranked overall and pitched his team to the title. How does it feel to have this curveball thrower who froze Beltran be your Ace BK?!?! Sorry Sorry… \\  \\ __**The Zeddemore Poles Coach of the Year Award**:__  //Mike Ryniec, Ocean's Blyleven//. 111 moves? Intensity/Insanity…some may say he //over managed//, but in fantasy better to be too aggressive then to sleep on your team…at least that is what Mike tells himself. Just missing the free eats hurts, but it ain't for lack of managing. LaRussa loves your style. \\  \\ __**The Eric Hinske Memorial**__  (he's dead right?!) goes to the Biggest Bust of the Year: \\  \\ Chase Utley \\  \\ This was a tough one..Utley wasn't exactly hurt, he had 425 AB's, so it was a pretty full season for his owner Jay Vig, but quick take a guess how many 2nd baseman ranked ahead of him? Stumped? 7. Ouch, that is tough from the 5th overall pick and a guy with a vampire head of hair. 146th overall? Need to pick up next year Utley…(Honorable Mention: Matt Kemp…no idea with this guy). \\  \\ __**The Nomar Broken Everything Award**__  (Player's injuries who sink a team) \\  \\ Justin Morneau \\  \\ Playing just half a season usually means you've done better then most and won't get this stinky award, but after a great start the Ocean's were sunk by Morneau's concussion. Mike couldn't drop him, because he could recover any day, Mike couldn't trade damaged goods, and in the end Mike was stuck with him out in the cold at 4th place…safe to say a healthy Morneau means the LA one eats for free. \\  \\ __**The Cliff Lee Award**__ : (FA Pickup that changes the league, named for Bull snatching Lee in Rockem 7) \\  \\ Jose Bautista \\  \\ While it didn't change my HR standing (surprisingly I would have won Hr's without him) it did change everyone elses standings, no one thought that the Animal was for real…hell we still don't know if it was all a dream, but no one wanted to take a shot on him, I did and my power numbers were locked and loaded. A HR race that saw standings fluctuate inning to inning, everyone could have used the pop!
