After two weeks in second place, mauledbypandas is back on top. Josh Hamilton’s Fake Stache hit .270 with 11 home runs, 51 RBI, 45 runs, and 10 steals this week. They didn’t get much from Miguel Cabrera, but Hunter Pence picked up the slack. It looks like we’re heading for the most exciting final two weeks in Razzball Commenter League history. Things can change drastically as only 6-and-a-half points separate the top 15.

EXPERTS: Grey gained another five points this week and now leads Dr. Roto by 6.

He had 7 more saves than anyone else in the league, and his 24 saves in the last 2 weeks leave him just 1 behind Rudy in that category. Grey brought his season ERA down to 3.56, the lowest it has been since Week 1. At the midway point of the season, it was sitting at 4.01. Rudy remained in third place, but is now 13 points off the lead. For the second week in a row he had an ERA over 4 and a batting average under .250. Mike Podhorzer led the league in average (.299), runs (49), and RBI (53), and had a nice 2.45 ERA, but dropped from 4th to 5th. You can find all Expert League unofficial Week 24 stats here.

TB will now need a great final 2 weeks to reach the RCL home run record. Jaywrong led the league with 18 homers and 13 saves to move past JB into 7th place. Check out all the writers’ week 24 stats.
2012 RCL Champions League: The Defenestrators’ great week vaulted them into first with 85 points, 1-and-a-half up on Worldwide Suicide. Big Magoo (82) and Random ItalicizedVoice (80.5) are also within striking distance. Looks like they’re in for a wild final two weeks!
