It is that time again. Let’s hear from you readers. We had another week of stellar performances. Pick the ONE that stands out to you, and tell us a story.

Kelly Johnson gets my POTW.

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ second baseman did everything he could to help his team win Friday night by hitting for the cycle. It was the fourth cycle in Diamondbacks history and the third this season.

He went 4-4, scored 2 runs, and knocked in 3 of his club’s 4 runs. Two of those runs came from his triple in the sixth when Arizona took the lead 4-3.

Despite his efforts, the Diamondbacks committed 3 errors and suffered a 7-4 loss to its National League West foes, San Francisco. They remain in last place in the division.

The Giants completed the sweep today in the 4-game series and have won 7 straight against the Diamondbacks.

Who gets your POTW?

    I’d say Team Radio Shack in the TDF. All 9 riders made it the whole way, and they won the prize for the team classification. Oh, and 6 of them were in the top 50 overall, including Lance at 23rd.

    I’m going with Johnny Cueto and the Cincy Reds. With everyone focusing on the Roy Oswalt trade deadline sweepstakes, the Reds touched ‘ol Roy for six runs over five innings. Meanwhile, Cueto tossed eight scoreless limiting the ‘Stros to four hits as the Reds won 7-0.

    Wasn’t Cueto the name of the midget that was attached to the chest of the other guy in Total Recall?

    Sorry, Bill. Can’t help you out. I only remember three things from “Total Recall.”

    Bill,

    That is correct. Can’t believe I never realized that.
