Every week I strive to come up with something catchy for the title and shamefully, I went with the Antonio Banderas flick The 13th Warrior. Screw that, I have no shame in this one, I like this movie for what it is. Mindless entertainment where a Mexican Spaniard plays an Arab, and if you have ever looked at a map, it ain’t that far away. According to Wikipedia, the movie is based on the book Eaters of the Dead, which is a much better title. It was also a financial flop, costing $160 million to make and only grossed $61 million at the box office. Yikes! Like many of the dollars we spent on opening day, we are not always guaranteed the return we thought we would get. I’m looking at you Strasburg and Encarnacion. Enough about mediocrity, lets talk about awesome and wonderful, and that means you. Yes, you. As usual, we have the top 10 overall, the weekly leaders, and the top 20 hitting and pitching teams of the week. I’ve also kicked in the 2015 RCL category leaders… so far.
CATEGORY LEADERS, WEEK 12
RUNS | 63 | The BallBusters | FUBAR |
HR | 21 | BACLO Bombers, Baseball Cougar, Catch de Taste | Lester’s RCL #3, Night of the Living Zombinos, Riverboat Fantasy |

ERA | 0.41 | Say It Aint Sosa | Beddict’s Brood of Bros |
WHIP | 0.62 | Team Koll | RCL FIPping the Bird |
* ERA and WHIP are based off 40 innings pitched minimum
Another week and another round of solid performances. Nothing jumping off the screen that screams special *double checks numbers* Oops, my bad, Say It Aint Sosa has the lowest weekly ERA of the 2015 season and Team Koll has the second lowest WHIP of the year. I did have a first for this year when Simply Fred came into last weeks update yesterday to find out if 10 wins was a winner. He’s a winner and his name always makes me think of these guys. Which surprisingly also makes me think of Sky because I have a feeling he has used this video in a post at some point in his razzcareer. Anythehoo, if you are here you get an over the net high five and hopefully you can parlay this into some nookie from the lady in your life….or a lady of the night. It’s up to you.
The RCL Top-10, Week 13
This is the best around!… For the season… so far. Do you want to be Daniel Larusso? Then you got to beat all the Cobra Kai’s and win the All Valleys RCL Championship. Word around the office is that the grand prize is Sky jumping out of a cake in your living room and doing a strip tease to the the tune of Moment of Truth by Survivor. The table below contains the rank, team name, league name, RCL points, League Index and League Points.

Razzball Commenter Leagues 2015 MASTER STANDINGS
I was excited to see we got a new team crash the top ten but then I saw it was the Big Magoo I picked up the phone and did this. Sorry, I never tire of that movie or that clip. Wow, what a shocker, Nathan Arizona’s store is back in first…again…and the backdoor is in the 2 hole. You bet it is! Wake is hiding like a hose in the grass ready to spray all over the top 2 and take them over with abduction hoods. He is followed again by Nick “I didn’t share Oddise with Grey and thus disappointed him” the Dick in 4th with last weeks 5th ranked team Soler still chillin’. Hey…look…it’s Magoo…in 6th. The drunk orcs drops one spot to 7th this week as magoo came in and messed it up for everyone. Mouth and Moose both slide up on spot to 8th and 9th respectively. Mr Brown comes in at 10th after spending some time away from the top 10. Hey I have a question for everyone, for shizz and jiggles, would anyone like to see a top 20? Let me know in the comments.

Since the season is technically half over I thought we should check back in on the category leaders. I swapped out K’s for K/9 because so many teams had over inflated K totals from out pacing the game starts. If your name appears here then take a moment and bask in the glory of Razzball while the rest of us look at you in awe. Would it be fair to call the winner of home runs the King of Dongs? The Dong King? I’m open to any suggestions for naming any cat winner as long as it flows with the soul of the Razz. Glad to see warshaw from my JFOH Hearts Tristan league here representing…and yes I do heart Tristan. Hell of a guy.
