2013 FBLG Wrapup

After a much-needed day of rest yesterday, the Commishes are back to wrap up the FBLG 2013 regular season.

First, we'd like to thank all of you for another awesome year. There were a few snags with new people in charge this year, but we think everything went well overall. And it was another fiercely competitive year with lots of drama. We certainly had fun, and hope everyone else did too.

Assuming that all of you want to return next year, we'll be looking for one new owner for the 2014 season. If you have anyone in mind, please feel free to invite them aboard. The Commishes have a couple people in mind, as well. If you don't think you'll be returning next year, please let us know ASAP. We'll check in again before the season, too.

We'll try to do some team-by-team wrapups over the next month or so, but here are the final rankings. Winners will be notified via email to claim their prizes.

Playoffs Week 8: Sunday's report

If someone throws a no-hitter in Miami on the last day
of the season, does it make a sound?

Be sure to check back in the next day or two for your commissioner's season wrap-up. Sources inside the commish's office say there might be a special guest analyst. Is it Bud Selig? The Phillie Fanatic? Tommy Lasorda's nutritionist? Ryan Braun's pharmaceutical representative? Time will tell.

STUDS: Joe Kelly (Muumuu) might have set a FBLG record for points in a relief appearance. Kelly posted 18 points with a double, a run, a win and 5 strikeouts in 5.1 scoreless innings. Andrelton Simmons (TB) had 2 doubles, a single, a steal, an RBI and 3 runs. Jordy Mercer (PYB) was a double short of the cycle and scored twice. Evan Gattis (Rookies) hit a 2-run homer, singled twice and scored twice.

DUDS: Huston Street (GGG) had a remarkably bad day. He pitched to 5 hitters and retired none of them in blowing the save and taking the loss. He allowed 2 runs on 3 hits, 2 walks and a wild pitch. Dan Uggla (GGG) went 0 for 2 with an error. He did walk 3 times but didn't come around to score.

Consolation finals scores

Testosteraun Braun 158, Fresh Fish 51 (Braunies are the consolation champions)

Battle for second place in points

Arbitration Losers 161 (4,420 total, Losers finish second in the points race)
