Extra Reserve Contest Update

The Contest numbers have been updated. The Mavs have pretty much wrapped it up.

All of us (even the Mavs) were hurt by injuries or a sudden fall from grace by certain players. Here are some picks that didn't click...

Homers:
Chris Carter, 8 (You had to see this coming, right? The Goofs and Tweeners didn't.)
Miguel Cabrera, 16 (Age finally caught up with Miggy, I guess. It sucks to get old.)
Matt Kemp, 19 (Wishful thinking - and that's me being kind.)

RBI:
Miguel Cabrera, 60 (In for a penny, in for a pound.)
Carlos Correa, 68; Kris Bryant and Josh Donaldson, 65; Mike Trout, 63 (Injuries led to missed games and lower numbers from some of the game's best.)
Matt Kemp, 63 (Umm... was he even injured? No? Just... not all that good. Okay, I see.)

Steals:
Travis Jankowski, 2 (In fairness, he did steal 30 last year. This season, however, he was sent down in April and never heard from again.)
Starling Marte, 16 (16 steals isn't terrible, unless you took him over Dee Gordon, like the Snakes did; or over Billy Hamilton, like the DVs did. Doh!)

Wins:
Madison Bumgarner, 3 (A dirt bike accident?!? Seriously?!? What a maroon!)
Noah Syndergaard and Aaron Sanchez, 1 (Both chosen by the Rhinos - and both ARE Rhinos. Ugh)
Felix Hernandez, 5 (The king is dead. Not like, you know, Jose Fernandez dead, but... you know... hurt. Shoulder bursitis. Twice.)

Saves:
Jeurys Familia, 3 (Three of us took this bum. And it's like the link that says, "Check out these hot 60+ year old women!"... you gotta ask yourself... Why?)
Francisco Rodriguez, 7 (Released by the Tigers because of his "inability to get hitters out." Signed later by the Nationals who were looking for "lightning in a bottle," but found only an ounce of Mickey's Fine Malt Liquor and a handful of cigarette butts. And yet, turns out he was still a better pick than Familia.)
Mark Melancon, 11 (Injuries and a certain level of suckability he brought to SF did him in. But yes, he was still a better pick than Familia.)
Sam Dyson, 13 (This is how bad the Familia pick was... SAM DYSON WAS A BETTER PICK!)

Innings Pitched:
Aaron Sanchez, 36 (Missed the season because of blisters on his fingers? Pussy.)
MadBum, 96 (Missed most of the season because he's an idiot.)
