What is there left to say at this point of the season? Many of the leagues have been won long ago. I know there are a few tight races left, and if you are in one of them, then a tip of the cap to you. By this time next week, we will be crowning a new grand champion and sending out the cool trophy to them as a way of saying thank you for kicking all of our a$&#%. It’s pretty neat to see this all unfold from a behind the scenes perspective. Last year, I finished near the top and paid little attention to anyone else, but this year, I get a ringside seat into the battles for supremacy. This is mostly due in part to me sucking it like quad-A club across the board. But, like I tell myself every year, you have all offseason to beat yourself up and get ready for a fresh start next year. I usually signal January Grey as my time to put down the bottle, get it together, and start loving this game again. In case you top-10 teams have forgotten, this is what you are playing for…

The RCL Top 10

Why the top-10? Because they’re the top-10 teams out of 1,000+? And that’s pretty amazing? I’m Brian Fantana giving you the news! Simply put, they’re the best of the best of the best, and I think they deserve a little bit recognition. BUT NOT TOO MUCH. Just a taste.

2 Colicky Fuddruckers GREYco Inc 114.8

The 2014 Razzball Commenter League Master Standings (Click on it. Seriously. Do it.)

I don’t normally go over the top-10 in depth, but wanted to point out that Colicky Fuddruckers has two teams in the top ten right now. He… or she, has shot up the standings and is on the heals of The Dynasty for the grand champion crown. Way to go CF, well played this year, and I look forward to seeing you in the champions league next year. The way things are looking, we might need to get Rudy in that champions league next season, which would be an honor to those playing if he chooses to participate in it. C’mon Rudy, do it for the kids! I wish you all the best final week of the year, and will be talking you all up next week as we close it out.

Going Down To The Wire

Here is a quick rundown of the exciting finishes we have going on right now: In Trout We Trust has a two way battle going between Miami Mink and Team Arnold. The Kosher Puig league has a tight finish between Houston Rocks and Running Robots with The Elemelons just behind in a few counting stats that could change things in the end. Old school Razzball league and yearly transaction winner the ECFBL is also a three headed race between The Hippos, Nine Pound Hammer and El Macho Borracho. Classic you guys! The Rambunctious Llama league is playing the count of uno dos tres, as Last of the Mujicas, Sin City Sinners (Pops), and Yeah Jeets are all separated by 1.5 points. We get a four headed beast fight to the finish in the Take On The Jay (Wrong) Yeoseos! league as Team Good, I Cain, I Shaw, I Pronkered, North Side Baez Club, and Dug Fister fight it out like a felony fight. No I’m not linking one of those here. Think of the children! The Doctored Balls league is close among three but really should come down to @ His Dudeness of NY and Natchez Democrats. Lastly my home league, the FCL is going to the wire as The Giant Moa and Traveling Riverside Blues have been exchanging blows at the top like the Iron Shiek and “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan. Good luck to all of you. Let us know how it’s going.

The RCL #1

The RCL #1, which sounds like a RCL made for 2001: Space Odyssey (Grey notified me that RCL #1 isn’t related to a space shuttle, but is meant to be said like The Iron Sheik. RCL #1! RCL #1! RCL #1!), is the Friends & Family league that Grey created so we could all be his fantasy baseball punching bags. Actually, maybe not so much punching bags as mustache combs. Seems more Grey-ish to Jay. I wasn’t invited so I’m not sure if I would be Grey’s punching bag. What I do know is I can say whatever I want because I’m not in there. With that being said I say “Why you dodging me Bro?” 

Regardless, this league stars Jay, Rudy, Tehol the Elder God, Prospector Scott, Paul, the Sing(ing)man, Nick the Podcast Host, and Sky… err, the Blue? We need to find you a better title buddy. But that’s us, that’s the family, except me. Which, I can assure you, I’m already filing paperwork to gain emancipation. The friends are Dalton Del Don from Yahoo, Brad Johnson from FanGraphs, Ryan Carey of Mastersball, and Tim McLeod of RotoRob.

It’s on like, nope it’s over. Rudy has run away with the RCL #1. I know he’s not big on gloating, it’s not his style. We can all learn something from that. Gloat people! You just spent the last seven months, if you include prepping and drafting, on this crazy little game and you won. Take yourself out for some nachos and an over-sized beer… or soda if you don’t drink. You deserve it. Besides Rudy’s miraculous finish is Sky shooting up the standing as he is within striking distance of Nick “the Voice” Capozzi. To sum up the finish of this league I will now go to the GIF card to do it.
