yahoo 5x5 fantasy baseball. i'm in first place by 9 points and this is my team:

C – Miguel Montero
1b – joey votto
2b – aaron hill
Ss – Gordon beckham
3b – Miguel Cabrera
OF – justin uptin

DL/OF – Vladimir guerrero

SP – dan haren, tim lincecum, Edwin Jackson, carlos zambrano, wandy Rodriguez
RP – bobby jenks, Huston street, brad lidge, cj Wilson, mike macdougal

...and this is what i said to the guys today, on a day where i lead the league by 9 points. i took over first about 4-5 days ago, and steadily built to where i am right now. i know i'm winning this one, much like another league where i've held down a 25 point lead for about 2.5 months. put it this way, there hasn't even been a transaction in the league for ~2 weeks =D anyways without further adieu...

hi, my name is james and i'm the guy who just moved into the penthouse upstairs. i really like the view up here, so i think i'm going to settle down here and win this'ere league.

you guys have provided me with good competition this year, especially when i was like dead last in early may with something like 10-15 HRs for that whole month and like 37 points out of first place, and then i started trading. i got rid of dice-k for lidge, i traded votto for jason bay who provided me with early offense to get me off of the ground, and then by the time bay was cooling down the guy i traded votto to cut him, so i was able to get him back, where he has continued to hit .337 for me. i mean literally, i took joey votto's ridiculously hot start traded him away and then got him back when he was hitting as well as he was at that hot start, so it's like i got jason bay for free.

then i was able to parlay todd helton and the underachieving cole hamels for miguel cabrera, which should have been your uh-oh moment right there because once i got a top-5 bat in my lineup i knew the offense was going to come around, and what's going to be the icing on the cake was the surprising availibility of kendry morales, who has been like fuckyeah, giving me mad depth when i need it most.

barring nuclear war, mass pestilence/plague, invading aliens, or a massive meteor strike akin to the one that serenaded the dinosaurs happening, i'm winning this league. in fact, i'm declaring it won right now. i've got my lead up to 9 points and i'm only going to rise up from there, i mean seriously look at my team and then look at yours, i mean, you've got good solid teams with some yeah players, but then look at my team again, and you'll realize it's my league guys.

so thanks for all of the fun and i'll see you at the ceremony that dennis green is throwing to formally crown my ass. hasta!!@
