@3FingersBrown: Don’t get me wrong–way much fun just in playing the game. But, where’s the justice in having it come down to one K, or two feet? That’s Base-a-ball!

@simply fred: Seriously brutal. Last season, I advanced in the playoffs by two feet - the difference between a David Wright double off the wall and a homer that would have ended my season. On the Sunday night game, which made it even more dramatic.

In our league, dude finished out of the money for the price of ONE strikeout. Man, an entire season of monster moves and it comes down to ONE K. This is a tough game.

@Buddo Chezuski: Hey we're in the same winners boat!Back to back h2h keeper champ here too. Baby gets a new pair of shoes and I've got a few extra bucks to throw at the credit card debt. Nearly suffered a monumental collapse with the number of guys shut down and sitting this week, but we held on. Thanks for the help Grey. Mike Aviles was HUGE these past two weeks!

@Buddo Chezuski: He was money. No problem, congrats! @Bob: Well done.

@Grey: Thanks for the props. As many others have said, if it wasn’t for you, I’d be nowhere… (For the record, two firsts, and two seconds this year).

@Steve: What a comeback. I’ll be watching and waiting for you next year. I love how you and BSA were adding Braves, Giants, and Padres today. There’s no quit in you.

I was thinking maybe we could add a few of the top people from some of the other RCL leagues (are you listening royce!?) and have an even more competitive league next year.

@BSA: You gave me a scare this year. You are one tough Fantasy Mofo!!

@AL KOHOLIC: Thanks for your nice words over on the League Page. You are a great addition to the league, and I’m really looking forward to next year.

Thanks for all the wisdom this season, Grey! Looks like I’m going to win my H2H Keeper for the 2nd straight year (I say “looks like” b/c we tied 6-6 but I have the tiebreaker edge. I’ll believe it when I see it tomorrow morning). The Borderline Fantasy starter posts were huge down the stretch…Stauffer was money this week haha!

@Grey: I started reading Razzball some time this summer. What the hell happens now that the season is over?? Does Grey go away today til, say, next April or May?

Steve — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 03:23:16 +0000

@Grey: Yeah. Just didn't want to give him the swelled head! Three seconds and a fourth (stupid H2H) for me this year. Mostly due to the Razz. Thanks for all the help and entertainment.

@Steve: I guess if you count last year's win, it's been even longer since he's seen anything but first place. Well done, Bob. You're giving the Schmohawks a good name.

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 03:08:16 +0000

I will post full standings in forum once ESPN makes them official, but for now, Bob and his Schmohawks have gone wire-to-wire to win the RCL Original Recipe Division with 103 pts. BSA and yours truly tied for second with 87 (curses self for benching Capps yesterday) and AL KOHOLIC fourth with 82.
Nice work, Bob. Age shall not weary them (emoticon).

@sean: Thanks for the kind words and congrats! @royce!: No problem... The more it makes no sense, the more I think the Giants could go deep into the playoffs. The front three could surprise people, will depend on how much the hitters can surprise the big three of the Phils. @Bryan: Congrats, and thanks for the kind words!

Hey Grey,

I officially just won my uber competitive league that has been in existence for 12 years in large part due to this site, and all of the great advice you guys offer! I guess this is just a thank you and here’s hoping you keep up great the work next year. Cheers, dude.

Thanks again,
Bryan

Damn, a disappointing end to a great season- Pads go down in Pad fashion (0 R, 4 H), and I won 2 of 3 leagues, but lost the one league that hands out prizes (a h2h, so I say it’s all luck anyway). Was so close to getting that Razzball jacket but in the end it looks like it’ll be going to a team that predicted its inevitability! Thanks to Grey and anyone else who chimed in for all the advice! And if anyone has any advice on what to do in Big Sky, MT, lemme know.

Thanks to Razzball’s preseason projections and in-season management advice, I was able to take down first place in two of my four cash leagues. I finished second in a third that was winner-take-all.

I know that I will continue to be a donor and plan to donate a portion of my winnings to the continued success of the site. I’d like to see my fellow readers do the same. Putting together this kind of content is a labor of love that can be more demanding than a full-time job.

Thanks, Grey and Rudy!

@Grey: Thanks! And my compliments to you. This is a great site. It's the first place I go every morning. And I read it for the writing first, then the advice.

@Grey: I've felt that way about Entourage for at least 2 seasons. Yet I keep watching. I'm like the guy who drafts Eric Byrnes every year for power and speed.

@MarkM: Yeah, Remy's not bad. Better than most. Much better than the Padres, yikes.

@Grey: Also, I nominate the Red Sox as the best booth in baseball. Remy is a riot when the games are out of hand.

@Grey: Just won one league and finished third in the other thanks to tips like: Sell Zobrist, own Filthy Sanchez, own Liriano, and -of course- SAGNOF! I finished the year with a relief corps of Wagner, Hensley, Takahashi, Perez and Axford in one league where saves are worth 4 points and a win is worth 6. Traded Panda and BBershaw in another league for Michael Young, AGonz, and Lilly. Sold high on Papi, and Hamilton and held tight on Holliday and Uggla early on. Thanks for all the advice Grey, Rudy and all of the commenters that chimed in throughout the year.

@simply fred: Thanks. I expected to get some wins and Ks, but blow up my ERA and WHIP. Last day of the season does lend itself to some lower scoring games, I think.
