Jose Valverde and Francisco Rodriguez both imploded Sunday, costing Joe at least a tie and definitely costing Ricky a win.After Valverde's blown save, loss and WHIP jump, Jack benched Aaron Cook, who threw a gem. If Valverde got the save and Jack played Cook, who knows what would have happened - it looks like a tie. But, instead, Jack comes from behind to snatch a 9-8 win in a possible championship preview. Our fans should be excited for that possibility with the back-and-forth entertaining matchup these two put on this week.
It almost certainly means Jack will be No. 1 in this week's power rankings as well.
More after the jump.
As for Ricky, wow! Just wow! Rodriguez puts four batters on base and walks Mariano Rivera with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, costing him the WHIP category by 0.01 and a win. Mike couldn't even believe it, doing a double-take when he heard he had the 10-9 victory."Whoa, are you serious? Wow," was all he could muster, clearly stunned.
Absolutely shocking stuff today, and a HUGE loss for Ricky. It really opens things up for Bob, Mike and Adam (all 6-6) to get back in the playoff picture. Ricky is now 6-5-1.
