I'm listing below what I have so far, in effort to make sure I don't miss anything. If you think of anything else, please let me know and I'll add to the list. For now, enjoy the below:

Dong of the Week:
Absolutely crushed. There's a plaque in Celluar Field, showing Jim Thome as the first one to ever reach The Fan Deck in a game. This bomb cleared that plaque. Time to get a new one, and throw that Thome one in the dumpster.
Must be nice when your first round pick is a bust half way through the season, yet you still sit comfortably in first place. Now he just turns it on, and is suddenly a superstar again. #FuckYouMatt #LetsKillMatt #MurderMatt

Framber Valdez SP | HOU - Traded from Megalomaniacs
Megalomaniacs:
2020 Round 1 - Draft Pick Traded from Kev Bombs
Kev is in last place in the AWL West, and that still didn't stop him from going all in. Having already traded his second round pick, he now moves his first in an effort to get into the playoffs. It's ballsy as hell, and probably a smart move. His team is hot, and the Ham Sandwiches and the Kingslayers both have shown major cracks in their armor.
On Dean's end, he likely finished his rebuilding trades this past week, securing 7 extra picks in next year's draft. He picked a hell of a year to be bad, that's a huge amount of picks for next year.
Weekly MVP's:
While it's close, I think Charlie Blackmons' week just edges out Christian Yelich's week 3 as the most impressive thus far. Absolutely astounding how good he was, as the Rockies-Padres series was an offensive

High and Tight Mini Ep:
(Jon was supposed to have a mini episode of High and Tight ready, but...he missed his deadline. Check back next week. What an asshole.)
Games of the Week:
AWL: Kingslayers @ Pez Sox
The Sox pulled off an impressive win against the Hammies this past week, never really in danger of losing. They'll look to continue their dominance against the West with a win against the Kingslayers, who pulled off a win against the Megas thanks to 1 more strikeout than Dean. #Fluke
NWL: Time Consumers @ Tommy Johns
Nick's in both of the games of the week, as the Tommy Johns really need a win but have to face the NWL's best in the Time Consumers. The after mentioned Consumers got even better, with a huge trade on Monday, securing Edwin Diaz, Wilson Ramos, and Ketel Marte.
