If you are thinking this is a call out to the Skid Row hit from the 1989 self-titled classic Skid Row, then you are correctamundo. I was in the 8th grade when this album came out and I didn’t stop hearing it around me until the end of my freshman year. What gives with that? Maybe it’s my age that makes it feel like popular music hung around much longer back then… Maybe it’s because I grew up with too many pinche whettos who loved this kind of music… Maybe it could of been worse… OR, maybe even worse… For all the things I forget on a daily basis, why do these things stay stuck in my brain? Wait, this isn’t bad music memory lane game, this is the RCL update. I’m glad to be back after my vacation and want to thank VinWins for covering last week. So lets jump in and get to where I talk about you, because who really wants to read about me?

What a power week for SLC Bees. Taking home top honors in homers and RBI’s wasn’t enough for them. They also are the season leaders for tops in those categories. The home run total is 5 more than the previous top team, and I have a hunch they own the Duda. If you scroll down to the top 20 offensive performances of the week you will see them there too as they also had 5 stolen bases. Great job SLC Bees, you are my team of the week.

The RCL Top 20: Week 18

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.

Razzball Commenter Leagues 2015 MASTER STANDINGS

It will be interesting to see if these ranks change as people get closer to their game starts limit. The standings continue to get closer and closer. Right now 7th is separated from 14th by only 3.42 points. That’s tight. One thing I noticed this week is that a few of these leagues have taken a bump in their league index. I wonder why that is. No seriously, I wonder what’s going on. Maybe Rudy will make a cameo and shed some light on this. Speaking of Rudy, he won’t be at the Angel game this coming Saturday but Grey and I will! I’m calling out to any of our Southern California fans to come on down and say hi to us…or just Grey. Militant Vegans says he is going to be there and I’m hoping “the G from the IE” and his lady reader friend come too. I would love to get proof that we have an actual female reader. We’re sitting on the 3rd base side in section 105. Please post in the comments if you want to come down.

Making Trades and Taking Names

Over the last week we’ve had 22 trades with 5 of them happening in the Cougs R Us league. Nice job Cougs, good to see some people getting after it. Lots of deals involving aces and closers with the likes of Kershaw, deGrom, Felix, Mad Max and Greinke moving around. Pollock, Pederson, Bryant and Altuve were all involved in multiple deals while no names like Anibal Sanchez were actually traded. Really, Anibal and Koji for Liriano? I don’t get it. Remember everyone, the trade deadline is August 14th at 12p.m. EST. If your league does not have this deadline then please let us know.
