Congratulations, Erik, on an outstanding season. You are modest, so I’ll point out one aspect of your success. You squeezed more value out of the Cardinals than the St. Louis franchise achieved in reality. You celebrate a title and John Mozeliak packs his bags.

Congratualtions, Erik! It's official now. And you managed to pass me in HR, relegating me to 7th place. First in one league and tied for second in the other is quite a fine season!

Thanks, all. My team did just enough in every category to maximize its potential. I can’t say that was by design. The Roto gods looked kindly on me this season.

Erik may have it clinched, but the Mets and Braves still have a double header Monday in the regular season.

Nicely done, Erik. You suck. And I say that as a sign of great respect for your management skills as an owner.

Congratulations, Erik!

Robbie Ray went on the IL five weeks ago. Yet he remains in Jim’s rotation. Any effort by Jim to reduce his innings penalty would have put him above AJ in ERA. That point could cost me the league. Come on, Jim! Manage your team!

I was going to say, with all the excitement in the AL, I had missed the NL title is also up for grabs!

Both Josh and I are still in it on this final day of the year! We both need a lot of breaks, however. . . . Freaking Camilo Doval trade (sigh)
