Razzball Commenter & Fantasy Razzball League Updates – August 17th
August 18, 2009
Category: 2009 Fantasy Baseball Leagues, Rudy Gamble
It’s been a while since we checked in on our Razzball Commenter League and Fantasy Razzball League – mainly because I’ve been either on vacation or working like a dog for the past month. Here it goes…
There’s been a big shakeup in the RCL Standings as previous leader Cruz Control (commenter Anthony) has dropped all the way to 7th as his Gorditas Supreme divisionmate Tijuana Two Step salsas into first. The new leader – helmed by an unidentified manager whom we’d like to think is ex-WWF star Mil Mascaras – has a whopping 113 points (out of a possible 120) and actually has potential to gain a couple points in the last month. A look at the masked manager’s Active Stats show that top teams don’t have to get every top draft pick right as Grady Sizemore, Matt Holliday, and David Ortiz are all relative disappointments. Killer picks like A-Gonz, Joe Mauer, and a three-ace staff of Wainwright, Vazquez, and Beckett definitely helped as did key FA pickups like Kendry Morales, Andrew McCutchen, Ubaldo Jiminez, and Tommy Hanson.
Mowses (Home Plate Security) remains in 2nd with PWNightmare (Halie Selassie Lions of Judah) hopping three spots to 3rd. Slidenfail ftw and Widespread Panic leapfrogged 10 and 7 spots respectively to crash the top 10.
As for the Fantasy Razzball League, Jay (Willy Wonka) has established a near insurmountable 600+ point lead on second place Jonathan Halket of THT Fantasy Focus. Paul Moro of UmpBump has chumpbumped his way from 6th to 3rd while Grey and I are now only one spot away from each other in the standings (Grey – 7th, me – 8th). While it’s sad knowing I’ll have to relinquish last year’s Razzball crown, I hope I can at least have bragging rights in the Razzball office.
BTW Grey, you really need to clean the break room fridge – I know you love your SAGNOF but it doesn’t stand for “Spaghettios Are Great Nasty Old Food”….
SpaghettiOs don’t go bad. Cust eatin’.

Skettio’s are just like Twinkie’s and cockroaches, they keep forever.
@The Delaware Sicilian: Congrats on being on top.
@BigFatHippo: I know, right?
August 18th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
@Grey: I don’t recommend eating the cockroaches however, they taste like possum………….
August 18th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
@Grey: What’s your prediction for Pedro tonight?
@BigFatHippo: 5 IP, 3 ER, if they get the game back under way.
August 18th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Any word on Matt Holliday’s status for tonight?
@Pops: He’s in the lineup.
August 18th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
@Grey:
Scrub watch: Vernon Wells, O-Dog, or Felipe Lopez?
August 18th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
@Grey: So I dropped my BFFF (Big fat Frank Francisco) after he gave up 7 ER the other night because I had 4 active closers. But now Kevin Gregg is no longer closing, and I picked up Mike Gonzales in his place. Do you think Gonzales will re-claim his closer role? Or should I use my #1 waiver pick to get my BFFF back?
@Elijah: Lopez
@Elijah: I’d want Frank.

trade McCann for Dunn? I need power and have Inge and B. Molina at C
@Sam: Go for it.
August 18th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Hmm Mark Reynolds career #’s at age 25 better than Mike Schmidt’s.
@Elijah: Hmm, indeed.
August 18th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Watching Schleref vs the Phillies, he reminds me so much of Mitch Williams… All he has to do is fall off the mound a few times and its a match.
@Elijah: Ha! Yeah, I’m watching too. Good call.
August 18th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Moyer impressive in relief, who woulda thought.
@Elijah: Yeah, the mild thing.

MAUER MUST BE STOPPED!
@National Mauer Defense Agency: Ha!

Josh Johnson for Brandon Phillips + Price OR Alvarez. Who wins?
@Corey: Johnson, but it’s fair.

Got a great laugh from the leaguemates when I referred to “metco” earlier talking about the Mets. Part of me wanted to fess up and admit its not my line, but then I don’t want those guys knowing about this site!
Mums the Word!

I am skeptical that you have a break room
August 19th, 2009 at 8:31 am
I am sorry I had to take the crown
