Did you guys seriously think I was doing a theme based on the 1980 classic film 9 to 5? Now don’t get me wrong, I have seen that movie more times than I care to admit. Working for Grey is like working for Dabney Coleman in the movie. Damn, I miss Dabney, always enjoyed his work (here is my top five movies of his in no particular order: 1,2,3,4,5). I’m not even going to go down how the other writers fit into that cast. Okay, twist my arm why don’t you… if I must, Tehol is Dolly Parton for obvious reasons, Sky is Lily Tomlin with that big brain of his and I’m Jane Fonda. Wait, no, I mean Jay is Jane, Fonda because he has silky smooth skin. [Jay’s Note: I do.] I’ll be Margaret, the drunk wise cracker. Hey, I can’t be doing this, I said I wouldn’t I have some update issues to discuss. You have to excuse the mess above, I get sidetracked more than a meth head with ADHD. This week we won’t be having the weekly leaders due to some computer issues. I apologize for that, and hopefully they will return next week. If you had a good week, then please share in the comments… or if you’re SteveNZ, share if you had a bad week. That guy is always having a bad week. Instead of the weekly leaders, I’ll be highlighting the category counting stats leaders for the first third of the season, as I feel a need to show love to more people. My therapist says its good for my anger issues. That guy is a pain in my ass.
The RCL Top-10, Week 8
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. The table below contains the rank, team name, league name, RCL points, and League Index.

Razzball Commenter Leagues 2015 MASTER STANDINGS
Backdoor got taken down… to second this week as the Unpainted one from the hilarious league HA! take over as numero uno. Wake holds tight in 3rd for the second week in a row while the Drunks from Euro Razzball moved up 5 spots to 4th. Am I the only one who imagines Euro Razzball sitting around drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes and intellectualizing all our dick jokes? The Rugged D drops one place to 5th as new comer Montesanto cracks the top in 6th. Astros to Mouth falls 2 spots to 7th this week while Donnie Sideburns from the Cougs league joins the top 10 at 8th. Nick drops three spots from 6th to 9th… 69! …Hehe. I’m so juvenile. To close it out, last week’s 8th place team the thieves drops two spots and holds in 10th. Good job everyone and good luck to holding your spot.
Category Leaders
We are now officially in June and that signals that one-third of the season is over. I thought it would be nice to show some love to our counting stats category leaders. Well at least the ones that aren’t heavily skewed by over-pitching. For this reason I won’t be doing K’s and Wins today. If you appear on one of these lists then you get a tip of the cap by me. I see we have some of our top 10 here (not surprising), members of the high index leagues, and one writer. Yes, that is Sky the DFS guy. Well he is more than that, he also does great pre-season deep league calls and is one of the gassiest people I know.

My name is Jack and I have a table making problem. Hi Jack! I haven’t made a table in….Ahhh, I just made 7 tables for a 1,100 word post. Welcome to over-doers anonymous. If you are like me, I hope you’re not, then..oh forget it. I got trades to chat about. The Game of Throws gets two up here this week. First we get Chapman for Pence then K’zar for Pollock. Didn’t the czars over run the Pollock’s? No dummy, that was the Soviets…sort of. Anythehoo, both really solid deals and I like the value for value each had. Well done guys…or girls. In Hunters Hitters it looks like some free agency adds got cashed in with the newly pegged closer for the Marlins getting flipped for 2015 breakout arm the Keuchel. The ECFBL is back here again with another deal that leaves me scratching my head. I like Reyes and see his long term value potential but damn, I love the K’zar just too too much. To close we get the zombinish deal in the Filthy league where a 35 year old gets dealt for an almost 33 year old. That’s 88 years between the two. I like the Kinsler side a lot more as I think he has a solid stretch run in store for us. Until next time, adios razzballeros!
