I'm in

1) Alex "Im opting out of my contract" Rodriquez (and I dislike the Yankees)
2) Manny "is due for a home run" Ramirez
3) David "Aye Aye Aye, Big Papi" Ortiz
4) Alfonso "The guy starting on the opposing team has a 18.00 ERA" Soriano
5) Ryan "You'd pick me too because I am playing Kansas City" Howard

Those are my 5 this week. Watch them hit a total of 0 home runs:)
 
Awesome idea. I'm in if I haven't already won the other contest too many times. If you need me to sit out to let other people have a chance, it's cool. If not, my picks would be:

1. Magglio Ordonez - Detroit
2. David Ortiz - Boston
3. Travis Hafner - Cleveland
4. Vladimir Guerrero - Los Angeles
5. Adam Dunn - Cincinnati
 
1) Alex Rodriguez- N.Y. Yankees
2) Prince Fielder - Milwaukee Brewers
3) J.J. Hardy - Milwaukee Brewers
4) Justin Morneau - Minnesota Twins
5) Gary Sheffield - Detroit Tigers
 
1. Ryan Howard - Philadelphia
2. Chase Utley - Philadelphia
3. Magglio Ordonez - Detroit
4. Matt Holiday - Colorado
5. Alex Rios - Toronto




Thanks for this, sounds like fun.

I don't think this is going to work guys...too many people choosing the same players...it's going to be impossible to break ties.

How about this: These players are not eligible for the contest:

ALEX RODRIGUEZ
PRINCE FIELDER
JUSTIN MORNEAU
JJ HARDY
GARY SHEFFIELD

If you have any of these players on your team, please change them. Thanks.
 
Changed mine to:

1. Magglio Ordonez - Detroit
2. David Ortiz - Boston
3. Travis Hafner - Cleveland
4. Vladimir Guerrero - Los Angeles
5. Adam Dunn - Cincinnati

They just happened to be the top five HR hitters in the league...nothing personal man.
 
Not a problem, just caused me to have to do a little more research that's all. This is a great idea, but some restrictions are necessary.
 
[quote name='spree4567']Gary Sheffield
Jason Bay
Eric Chavez
Albert Pujols
Alfonso Soriano[/quote]

Sorry, no Sheffield. Please select another player.

[quote name='Flyersfan']Damn, Howard hit a homerun tonight.


:([/quote]

Is it FRI, SAT and SUN that count? or just Sat and Sun?

OP says Sat and Sun games so I don't think it matters who hits what tonight.
 
[quote name='schuerm26']Is it FRI, SAT and SUN that count? or just Sat and Sun?

good thing tonight doesn't count, Alfonso Soriano already has 3 homers and it is only the 5th Inning!!!!

(at least I think that is what the announcers said, I just turned it on)

1. David Ortiz
2. Dan Uggla
3. Jhonny Peralta

1. Travis Hafner
2. David Ortiz
3. Magglio Ordonez
4. Vladimir Guerrero
5. Adam Dunn
 
Being from Wisconsin, I feel this contest discriminates against me because two Brewer players are on the banned list :) (j/k, actually it's amazing that two Brewer players are actually good enough to be on a banned list like that)
