A thoroughly disgusted Wheatking looks on while sitting out of this week's action. Bruised cartilage in his ribs (from last week's collision with Dirty Jay) kept him out of the game and prevented him from gaining any ground in the standings

The Rottweiler makes up for sucking this week by balancing the Tire of Humiliation on his head until his brain goes numb. He managed only 1 homerun in 9 innings of play.

WEEK #8 CHAMPION: DIRTY JAY!

THE IMPOSSIBLE HAS HAPPENED: DIRTY JAY HAS WON HIS 1ST CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE 2001 SEASON!

HE DEFEATED CARLOS DELHICKOK IN EXTRA INNINGS TO CAPTURE HIS FIRST TITLE OF THE YEAR, AND FIRST WIN SINCE THE FAREWELL GAME AT SWAMPLAND DOWNS.

AFTER DELHICKOK TIED THE GAME IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH, DIRTY JAY HIT THE ONLY HOMERUN HE NEEDED DURING HIS FIRST AT-BAT IN EXTRA INNINGS.

THE ROTTWEILER MAMANGED ONLY 1 HOMERUN, BUT PLAYED A STRONG GAME IN THE FIELD.

WHEATKING WAS PUT ON THE DISABLED LIST AFTER THE TEAM PHYSICIAN DIAGNOSED HIM WITH BRUISED CARTILAGE IN HIS RIBS AND WAS FORCED TO WATCH FROM THE SIDELINES. THE VACUUM WAS OUT OF TOWN ON A WIFFLEFEST PROMOTIONAL TOUR, AND RICKY J WAS AT THE ZOO SNIFFING THE MONKEY CAGES. AS A RESULT, DIRTY JAY ONLY RECEIVED 3 POINTS FOR THE WIN BUT IT WAS BY FAR HIS BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE SEASON.

CONGRATS JAY!!
