August 1st, 3005
The first week following the All-Star Break saw a continuation to the tradition of mortals winning the first Player of the Week Awards in July. Pygmies and Scientologists had a lot to celebrate as their deities had great months and Pygmy Scientologists had twice as much to cheer. One team gets No-Hit and 1-Hit, our deities hit a few more cycles and a few more 3-HR games.
Monthly Highlights
7/4/3005 - In the first day of games since the All-Star Break, Gadsden 2B Odin, who struck out to end the All-Star game, was obviously a deity on a mission, as he goes 4 for 5 with 3 HRs, 4 runs scored and 6 RBI in a 10-5 win in El Paso. His 3rd home run came in the top of the 10th, and proved to be the game winner. After the game, a cocksure reporter asked Odin how it felt to hit 3 home runs after striking out looking to end the All-Star game as the tying run. The reporter has not been seen since...
7/5/3005 - If Weeks_post = 1 then PotWA goto mortals. The rich 2 year tradition continues as two mortals win PotW with non-noteworthy numbers.
7/11/3005 - Twas a good week for players who have been the last out in All-Star games, as Little Rock Left Fielder and Greek deity Zeus hits the 28th cycle in league history. Zeus scored 4 runs and drove in 3 with his 4 for 5 performance in Little Rock's 14-4 drubbing of Stockton.
7/12/3005 - Babylonian Deity Apsu (.500 / 8 RBI / .552 OBP) and Aztec God Ometeotl (.565 / 13 RBI) win Player of the Week Awards.
7/19/3005 - Zulu icon and Norfolk 1B uKqili (.621 / 7 HR / 17 RBI) and Columbus' SS and Hindu Deity Vishnu (.600 / 6 HR / 13 RBI / 1.640 SLG) win Player of the Week Awards.
7/19/3005 - In a busy news day, Philadelphia's Tekkeitsertok hits the 29th cycle in league history, scoring twice and driving in three in Philly's 7-4 win in Chicago.
7/19/3005 - Peer pressure is not just a mortal occurrence, it seems - just minutes after Tekkeitsertok does it, Voodoo God Bondje hits for the cycle in Hartford's 6-1 win over visiting Norfolk. In hitting the 30th cycle in league history, Bondje scored twice and drove in three runs as well.
7/20/3005 - With both teams' deities warming the bench with a scheduled day-off, Chicago pitcher and Mortal Roosevelt Hyde NO-HITS Philadelphia in a 3-0 win. Philly's RF Tekkeitsertok, who had hit for the cycle just the day before, was resting and came in to pinch hit in the top of the 8th and drew a walk in his only plate appearance of the game.
7/26/3005 - Hartford RF Bondje (.650 / 9 RBI / .696 OBP) and Seattle LF Khonvoum (.609 / 5 HR / 10 RBI / 1.348 SLG) win Player of the Week Awards.
7/27/3005 - Egyptian Sun God Ra clubs 3 home runs, scores 4 and drives in 5 in 13-5 win over Stockton.
7/29/3005 - Bad things happen when Tekkeitsertok takes a game off for Philly. This time, they are 1-hit by a Satan-led Orlando squad. Tekkeitsertok had been granted permission to not be at the game to have some minor dental work done but it might not have made any difference anyway, as Satan drives in 5 in Orlando's 14-0 victory.
7/31/3005 - In a home run filled day, Judaism icon Abraham single-handedly defeats Houston, hitting 3 home runs with 4 RBI in Charlotte's 6-3 victory.
7/31/3005 - If a team's getting roughed up, more often that not it seems to be Hunab Ku's Stockton team. This time, it's Altjira doing them in with a 3 HR / 5 RBI performance in Lewiston's 12-5 win.
8/1/3005 - A Thetan (.510 / 19 HR / 40 RBI) and Pygmy Powerhouse Khonvoum (.580 / 20 HR / 42 RBI / 1.370 SLG) win their first career Batter of the Month Awards.
Deity BA Leader: Altjira .508 (+.008 over 2nd place)
Deity HR Leader: Khonvoum 64 (+2 over 2nd place)
Deity RBI Leader: Zeus 149 (+2 over 2nd place)
Deity SB Leader: Hunab Ku 69 (+3 over 2nd place)
