We had two really fun games, with many heros.
For game one, i'm gonna say Mr. Paul Cooper, who was 3/5, with a run, a double, a HR, and 4 RBIs for the winning team.
Or..... Ken gets for going 4/5 with 2 runs, 3 RBI, and a gem?
For game 2, I think hands down its Will, 3/6, 4 runs, a triple, 2 HR, and 6 RBI!

Ken in Game 1, Will in Game 2
Hey, I have to go with Ken in Game 1 for the reasons mentioned, especially the defensive comparison of Ken's gem versus Paul's DH'ing.
We have to give mention to Ahmer too, though, in Game 1.
Ahmer had the same line as Ken (4 hits, 2 runs scored, 3 RBI), except Ahmer also doubled and homered. Ken had one fewer at-bats than Ahmer, however, and Ken had that gem. So I give Player of the Game to Ken.
And it's a shame that in a game where Peter came 1 RBI short of tying Will's single-game record, he wasn't even on the winning team.
As for Game 2.........
It has to go to Will. He and Peter had the exact same lines (2 HR, 3/6, 4 runs scored, 3 RBI, K), except Will also added a triple to that line.
All in all, Peter had one of the best overall days we've ever seen. It harkens back to Dorian's 4 HR game.
Combined:
Peter: 6/11, 4 HR, 2B, 6 runs scored, 10 RBI, 2 K, Webgem

I must admit I enjoyed the first game 
It was exciting to see defense in top form- everybody showed me something. But sunday was still a HR binge. As stated before, in order for a HR to be exciting it needs to be off an opposing pitcher or rare (preferably both!)... maybe we'll see some long balls this week?
Peter's been swinging the bat well, if you recall he hit two (or three) long flies at Flood last week.
Paul- how long do you expect to be on the semi-DL? You seem to be becoming a more and more complete player every week. Your shots were huge drives, very impressive... probably some of the best balls I've seen hit at Defremery.

Thanks, man. Sooo bummed right now, I spoke with my ortho and I apparently need to rest my arm for 2 months. 2 MONTHS! I can only be thankful that batting is OK, most of the work being done by the left arm.
That said, catching and first base are also OK, so long as we don't have steals to contend with. So, at Curt Flood I'll have to umpire or maybe keep score and coach a base, until the non-live second game.

British Umps
Man, the idea of you umpiring is great, Paul!
I would love to hear someone being called out enthusiastically with a British accent!
That would be cool...
But, on the other hand, I'm really sorry to hear about you needing to not throw. I tried to stop ya from pitching last week! It's hard to resist. That's good you can still swing, so 1B seems like the way to go.
I must ask, what informed you that there was a problem in the first place? I've had some weird soreness on my outer shoulder (opposite my neck), and I think it's a cross between carpal tunnel & tendonitis. Anyway, I'll just ask you about it at the next game.
