What is left to say for the 2014 fantasy baseball year in a virtual world between strangers as we keep inching to the end of the RCL season. I’m just living in a virtual world and I am just a virtual….woh, were did the Madonna lyrics come from? I need to take a nap and get some rest. What’s that Grey? But I made up my mind, I’m keeping my Baez! Okay, this is too weird, and I need to get Madonna out of my head. It must be from watching Reservoir Dogs the other night and that mind burning opening scene (NSFW). Now that we got that out of the way, and hopefully never to return, let’s talk about what you are playing for this year. Below is the Grand Champion Trophy. If you really want one of these, and you’re not the Grand Champ, then you can always order your own here and put whatever you like on it. Mine says “best at not being the best of 2014”. One last thing before I move on is the Fantasy Baseball Team Name contest for the RCLs. Entries must be from the RCL, and the winner gets a free T-Shirt. Place your nominations here so we can create a ballot for everyone to vote.

Before we move on, I would like to shout out to everyone who played this year. We have so many players not only from America, but from outside our shores and I want to do one tip of the cap to all you guys and four girl readers who make all this worth it. For those of you outside of America, you guys have made it possible to say “the world famous Razzball”. I know we have players in New Zealand, Israel, Italy, Great Britain, and that Kid A guy, who is from parts unknown like the Missing Link. If there is anyone else out there in a foreign land, then please post in the comments and share. What’s that Jay? [Jay’s Note: Er, I didn’t say anything…] Oh, and if you’re from the U.S., then let us know too and I’ll highlight you guys who make us what we are. For Example,  I know we have lots of peeps from the Bay Area like Prezii, Oaktown Steve, and Grimey. These guys make it rain up in here and are well-seasoned players…… It’s alright, there is no bammer in their game, because they are old school and be gettin’ it! None of this safe for work and are a result of my old roommate back in ’97 the O-Dog from Vallejo!

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.

RCL League Highlight

Last week, I featured Vins handy work in the forums, and this week I will draw one of those leagues out of a hat and write on it. It’s a Dodger hat so you all can just deal with that, and the winner is In Trout We Trust. We have a tight race with GS limit reached JUST THICK, Miami Mink, other GS limit reached I Go I See the Same LJ Hoes, Team Arnold, mesh gear fox. I bring up the GS limit because these teams need to start getting relief pitchers in their line-up, because in case you guys don’t know, those still count. It looks like Arnold and Mesh are in the best position to win it. It’s good to see such a tight race and hopefully all five of these teams come and play the last month. We’re all watching you with judgmental eyes!

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.

In an amazing turn of events Grey has over taken Rudy for first place…Grey has over taken Rudy for first place! Slow down Jackie Two Times *looks for meds*. After being 7 points out last week, Grey the Master Lothario has squeaked ahead of Mastermind of Cool Tools Rudy. I can only imagine what the messaging between these two is like. I think even attempting to re-create this will lead to this whole article being not safe for work and we really want you to read this at work and not do your real job. What I can imagine is what Grey did when he took the lead.

In the battle for Razzball awfulness Sky has now jumped Jay to get out of the shame box. Now, in Jay’s defense, he is working his butt off on the football side and we should all be nice to him….Okay take a couple shots but nothing in the face. It’s looking more and more like Tehol is taking the shame title. That’s Ok T-Dog, you’re better looking than all of us and never have to get wasted to take home a 4 because you can sneeze and pull an 8. I’m expecting a better showing in football and look forward to the RCL Twitter league draft tonight.

In a sad segment Jimi Jamison, the lead singer of Survivor passed away Monday of a heart attack. He brought us classics 80’s movie tunes from the Karate Kid, Rocky IV, and this track which I can’t find which movie it’s from but should be on one if it’s not. I know Survivor was most well known for Eye of the Tiger, but that was with the previous singer. I only know this from the obituary and not from fandom. Okay that video is just straight funny. That has to be the most un-scary bunch to strut down the street ever. Why did I cover this? I don’t know but I’ve getting pumped listening to these while I write this…Wax On! Wax Off!
