@Grey: Yea or Nea on Parra tonight against the Reds?...His streak lately makes me think he's about to blow up and the amount of walks he's been giving up tells me its bound to happen soon.

@Grey: Comment #12 – Let me tell you the story of “Right Hand, Left Hand.” It’s a tale of good and evil. Hate: It was with this hand that Cane iced his brother. Love: These five fingers, they go straight to the soul of man. The right hand: the hand of love. The story of life is this: Static. One hand is always fighting the other hand; and the left hand is kicking much ass. I mean, it looks like the right hand, Love, is finished. But, hold on, stop the presses, the right hand is coming back. Yeah, he got the left hand on the ropes, now, that’s right. Ooh, it’s the devastating right and Hate is hurt, he’s down. Left-Hand Hate K.O.ed by Love.
–couldn’t let that one slip by.

@Baron Von Vulturewins: Grew up south of Hamilton near Lake Erie. Currently reside in Winterpeg, aka Winnipeg. I've never seen hail like we get here. Weather on the prairies is wild. I'm sure I'll take a crack at one the RCL leagues next year. I was really looking forward to being in a deep league, it makes you have to work harder, if Furcal goes down and you can go to the WW to pick up JJ Hardy, what skill is there in that. Finding those stopgap gems like Aviles or Hairston or forcing you to figure out a trade to get you through DL stint. I didn't say anything at the time but when Grey commented on the teams I liked your team and CrusinKC's personally. Seems like your both doing well. The reason I liked KC's is because he had many of the same players I have. @Grey: Ya, there is lots of banter in the office. It's pretty fun. But because we wanted to keep it simple, we didn't play roto thinking some of the dumba* wouldn't get it. So we have this crazy points league, we get points for everything. Its fun having the big scores, I'm averaging about 80 pts a night. * See Urban Dictionary.

@Baron

You’ve also got teams in the RCL who’s hitters don’t know the meaning of the word.*

i.e. Me

* The word “hit” that is, not the Bible.

@Grey: Struck out the side in the first. That's a good sign.

@BKK: Great White North, BKK? Whereabouts? I hail originally from Toronto. In a related story, hail hails originally from the sky.

Don’t mean to be harsh on the league thing. You can only play as well as you can; you can’t protect other people from dumb mistakes. You offer, they accept; that’s how it goes.

I imagine next season there will be a few Razz-branded leagues to take all comers.

The RCL right now is pretty interesting, ’cause you’ve got a mish-mash of people who are accustomed to H2H, shallow leagues, keeper leagues, etc. I like to imagine it’s some sort of Kumate blood-circle where all the masters of different disciplines clash, though I think in reality it’s more like a bunch of people who don’t speak the same language competing in some crazy road rally, a la Cannonball Run.
