3	Team Legenda...	1-1	L1
4	Silent Slug...	0-2	L2
5	Bill's Bit...	0-2	L2

Some quick book keeping....
Team Rue is now the Akron Areolas. It's about time you have a real team name.

Kudos to Token, Yes This League Can, who, apparantly, can, as he puts down fellow new guy Ferocious Desrochers by a score of 403-313, behind the stellar pitching of my man crush Zack Greinke, who scored a team high 67 points. He had 3 days of scoring 70+, with a high of 77 on Thursday.

The rest of the winning teams this week include Akron Areolas (323 pt total, 100 pt big day, 42 pt [Javier Vazquez]), Sunset Park (278, 53, 39 [Carlos Quentin]), Those Guys (327, 70, 46 [Andre Ethier]), and Clean Shaven Cats (355, 145(!!!!), 56 [Chad Billingsly]).

The Dead Fish is proudly awarded to Silent Sluggers, who narrowly eeked it out and scored 2 fewer points (207) than Team Legendary Awesomeness. It has been suggested that they be renamed Team Legendary Dissappointment. I'll leave that up to Dennis.

The Cheap Floozie goes to Bill's Bitches. Spend a buck for a starter. Grabbed Anthony Reyes as a homer pick. Problem is, he doesn't qualify as a starter yet. So the Bitches decide to let Carlos Marmol ride the pine and use the RP spot for Reyes' start. Reyes shits the bed and scores 2 freaking points. Marmol, on the bench, scores 7. The Bitches lost by 5 points this week. FML.

Before I forget, here's a recap of our awards system:

I'm a Winner: Given to the high score for the week
The Dead Fish: The polar opposite of the I'm a Winner
The Cheap Floozie: Worst FA/Waiver pick up of the week.

Team Rue (name to be changed) grabbed the I'm a Winner trophy by posting the high score for the week (406) thanks to huge weeks from Josh Johnson (69 points, tehe) and Chris Young (55). He also posted a week high 108 points on Sunday.

Other winners this week include Team Legendary Awesomeness (Team Leader: Johan Santana [50 points], Big Day: Sunday [90 points]), Clean Shaven Cats (Erik Bedard [48], Wednesday [82]), Those Guys (Kyle Loshe [40], Sunday [90]), and Ten Teams One Cup (Aaron Harang [44], Sunday [95]).

The Big Loser (El Perdedor Grande) was Bill's Bitches, who posted a pathetic 189. That was crappy enough to win the Dead Fish. The Bitches managed to have 7 (seven!) players post negative points for the week. Yes, this is your defending champion.

The Cheap Floozie award has to go to Justin, manager of newly named Sunset Park, for picking up Carl Pavano, who went out and tossed 1 inning, giving up 9 earned (81.00 ERA). His dollar bought him -28 points. Thanks for taking one for the team, J.

I'm going to try to get some historical stats up here soon, but there's your recap for week one.

Manger Bio #5 - Ben

It's Ben's first year in the league. After witnessing first hand how fan-fucking-tastick the awards presentation was, he couldn't be kept away. But little is known about Ben. Few people know that, much like Michael J. Fox, Ben has the power to travel through time. He brought back this photo.


When asked about it, he replied "..........."

Moments before the Vernon Wells cavity search

The Trophy

Here it is.
This is what we play (well, manage....er, pretend manage) for.
Ain't she sexy? It's as if the Stanley Cup boned the Lombardi Trophy while the Heisman videoed it. And directed. If the Little Brown Jug, the Keg of Nails, and the Wagon Wheel all had their way with with the Illibuck in a dark Columbus alley. It's as if an Emmy and a Grammy fucked a goat. It's a very nice trophy.

manager bio #1

Brandon: Team Rue
Fast facts:
•hates cats
•alleged #8 pole engineer in the world

Retrospective:
Team Rue joined the league as a founding member in 2007. That was his greatest fantasy achievement. After taking A-Steroid with the 5th overall pick in the inaugural draft, he motivated his team to a dreadful 9-14 season, only escaping the cellar by beating out the Double Wrappers in the playoffs. All this while leading the league in runs scored. 2008 was just as kind to Team Rue (and his woeful management style). After posting a 12-11 season, Team Rue floundered in the playoffs and ended up dead last. After 2 seasons, Team Rue's average finishing position is 7.5. Out of 8.
