Scoreboard!, Mount

This is a tribute to my fantasy baseball team, who became victorious today for the whole season and playoffs. This is my second time in this league (run by Andrew) and my first time winning it. My team name for most of the year was "Scoreboard Mount" because after the first week he was the only Loyola person I was beating. I kept it for good luck until the finals of the playoffs, but it came back for the last couple days.

Here's the team at completion of the competition

• C-Brian McCann (5th round)
• 1B-Albert Pujols (1st round and 1st pick overall, sorry Hanley Ramirez)
• 2B-Felipe Lopez (18th round)
• 3B-Aramis Ramirez (4th round)
• SS-Michael Young (14th round)
• OF-Matt Holliday (3rd round)
• OF-Michael Cuddyer (Mid-year pickup)
• OF-B.J. Upton (2nd round....FML)
• OF-Brad Hawpe (16th round)
• Util-Derek Lee (10th round)
• Bench-Ryan Theriot (23rd round)

• SP-Ryan Dempster (13th round)

• RP-C.J. Wilson (picked up this week)
• RP-Mariano Rivera (6th round)
• RP-Joe Nathan (7th round)
• RP-Francisco Cordero (12th round)

Other players I had during the season

• SP-John Lackey (8th round, dropped only for the last couple days)
• SP-Ervin Santan (9th round, lasted until June-ish)
• OF-Johnny Damon (15th round, lasted until this past week)
• 2B-Jose Lopez (17th round, didn't last long)
• OF-Carlos Gomez (20th round, didn't last long)
• SP-Joe Saunders (21st round, lasted until July)
• SP-Gil Meche (22nd round, didn't last long)
• OF-Delmon Young (only there for a very very short time)
• OF/1B-Kendry Morales (didn't last long, should have kept him longer)
• SP-Andy Pettitte (picked up very early one and was dropped this past week)
• SP-Scott Richmond (there for one start this week)
• SP-Randy Wolf (picked up mid year, dropped this week)
• SP-Joe Blanton (there for one start this week)
• 2B-Alberto Callaspo (also didn't last long)

The reason I stockpiled pitchers this week was to get more credit for wins and strike outs.
