Top 5 Aces of August
Did August surpass July for top performers of the month? Here is the new list so you can compare.
#5 Chula Vista That little team from California or should I say big kids from the Little League World Sereis. There needs to be a big shot out to the Little League World Series Champions from Chula Vista as they used there mighty bats to over power the rest of the teams in Williams port. All I can say is those boys were big and bad and that one guy for California, Luc Ramirez, looked like he could have signed with the Washington Nationals right now.
#4 Freddy Garcia One of my all time favorite pitchers for the White Sox has made it back to the big league club as everyone awaits Jake Peavy, even though don’t bet on that anytime soon. Meanwhile Freddy comes from no where and has contributed and battled his behind his last two starts with the White Sox. The White Sox did lose those two games Garcia started but give him some much deserved credit it was the Red Sox and Yankees that came back late to deny those wins, but for Freddie a guy just looking for a job just like anyone else in this economy, to give us two quality starts when we need all the quality starts we can get you got to give Freddy Garcia some love considering this guy was not even pitching anywhere over a month ago.
#3 Eric Bruntlet Who is Eric Bruntlet? He plays for the Philadelphia Phillies and as a defensive replacement for Chase Utley for the defending Champion Philadelphia Phillies. You are still like, so what right! Well the guy is now in the history books as he ended a game in August with a un assisted triple-play. A triple play is hard enough to do but for one player to do it that has to be number 3 on this list as Eric Bruntlet has something to talk about with his grandchildren although they might not believe him unless they check a stat book in twenty years.
#2 Y.E. Yang Yes, this list is digging deep this month but Tiger Woods has been 14-0 after leading a major going into the final 18 on Sunday. Don’t tell that to Mr. Yang as Y.E Lang came from no where to upset Tiger at the PGA Championship. Tiger was just gliding along and Yang just came and took the trophy that really belonged to Tiger up to that day. Y.E Lang might not be a top 50 or even 100 player but now he can tell anyone he plays golf with, “Yeah I beat Tiger in the last round of a major while he lead the whole way.” “Tiger Who Ha Ha” That one will be a good one to hear on the golf course for the next few years.
#1 Jay Cutler Despite his uniform being burned into ashes by former fans, the disgruntle ex-Denver quarterback just wrapped a very nice pre-season playing in one of the most hostile atmospheres in the NFL Jay Cutler has really stepped it up in two pre-season games with the Chicago Bears. Yes I know it is only pre-season but for Jay to show a lot of poise for a young quarterback with a lot on his shoulders you got to recognize. Brett Favre might have the most pressure to win right now after his resurgence to the Minnesota Vikings but for the Bears Jay Cutler is a close second. Coach Lovie Smith and GM Jerry Angelo have really stacked their chips with this guy and so far it may be a good pay off as Cutler has been great so far leading an offense that has never been the talk of a city, historically dominated by defense.
