If you aint first, you're last.

I sometimes stop to wonder if it is slightly problematic that a large number of the greatest and most memorable quotes of the last 15 years were said by a character being played by Will Ferrell.  I feel like there should be some more widely remembered things said by important people like Presidents, poets, and deep thinkers.  I guess there are plenty, but most of them are things like, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" and "I can see Russia from my house."  Not exactly high brow stuff there.  Ricky Bobby, Ron Burgendy, and Ashley Schaeffer arent exactly high brow either, but their dialogue is written in a way that is at the same time honest, hillarious, ridiculous and poignant.  But while I love me some Ron Burgendy and some Ricky Bobby (and I am somewhat sad to admit, Jackie Moon), my favorite Will Ferrell movie is a little seen one, Eight Years in Catmandu Stranger than Fiction.  The premise, that a man suddenly begins hearing a voice narrating his life and that voice implies that his death is imminent, is interesting and Ferrell is his usual blend of physical and vocal comedy, but adds a great deal of humility, which is likely why its my favorite one of his movies.  Anyways, this is a super long way of saying, sorry Zach, you had a great season, but since you didnt finish it out, I am pretty much ignoring your team for the rest of this post.  This one belongs to the very first Tater Tot Crown winner.
Back in July, when Tom went all Crusaiders style in attempt to take back Thursday, he wrote, "I hope to make the playoffs this year and my other big goal is to beat John. He doesnt think that I will be able to win with my team so that make winning a playoff spot all the better to know that I made it and he didnt. It's going to be interesting the rest of the year to see who can lock up that last playoff spot considering five teams are really close to each other in the standings. I really didnt know what I was doing in the draft or for the first few weeks which really hurt my season because I fell to last place and it was hard to get out. But I think i can try to be Worst to First."  Looks like mission accomplished on all fronts.  Make the playoffs...check (win playoffs...check).  Beat John...check, check and check (John finished in 8th place in the regular season and lost the unmentionable 7th place game to Kevin for an 8th place finish.  Sounds like John finished in 8th...and Tom finished in 1st).
So in honor of our first champion, heres the breakdown of the final week for each starter:

C - Joe Mauer - Despite an overall down season (277/361/371 60R 55RBI 3SB 455 ABs), Mauer was a respectable 294/368/412 1R 3RBI in the season's final week including hits in each of his last 4 games.  Mauer will lose catcher eligibility for 2015, so it will be interesting (at least to me) to see what Tom does with the Hometown Hero.

1b - Adrian Gonzalez - The MLB's RBI leader (116) had a bit of a rough last week with the stick (167/250/556) but chipped in a strong 4 runs and 4 RBI to help Tom win both those categories.  His season long numbers were close to the Adrian Gonzalez that we all remember from San Diego several seasons back, but without the benefits of a high OBP (.335).  His 83 runs was the 8th best total by a 1b and his .482 slg % was the 10th best by a first base eligible player with more than 400 at bats.

2b - Chase Utley - Utley, too, had a bit of a slow last week of the season, finishing with a 217/280/348 line with 2 runs, 2 RBI and a pair of stolen bases.  The stolen bases ended up being key, as Tom won the category by exactly 2 steals.  For the season, Utley's 270/339/407 was unspectacular but solid and he did it over 589 at bats.  His 78 RBIs were the 4th most by a second base player.

3b - Josh Donaldson - Donaldson helped the A's stave off the biggest, most epic collapse since the Dust Bunnies went into a tail spin in late August with a 261/414/391 4R 1RBI week.  Amongt 3b, Donaldson was 4th in runs and 2nd in RBI and 8th in slg% for the season.

SS - Ian Desmond - Not to be confused with Ian Ziering or Dustin Diamond, Desmond continued his ascension into the ranks of the SS elite this year, finishing the season with a 255/313/430 line.  His 73 runs were the 9th most by a SS, his 91 RBI were the most at his position and his 24 stolen bases were the 6th most.  His multifaceted talents were on full display in the final week of the season as he finished with a pair each of RBI, runs and SBs to go along with a 286/421/571 slash line.

OF1- Yoenis Cespedes - Think Cespedes wishes that he were in Kansas City tonight instead of on his way home (maybe already there) to Cuba...wait...he cant go to Cuba because they will never let him leave again.  I think that means he would definitely rather be in KC...stinking Brad Pitt and his meddling in baseball management.  Yo!Anus had a solid final week, 308/308/346 4R 3RBI 1SB, but his overall season slash line (260/301/450) left a bit to be desired, even if his counting stats (89 runs tied for 10th in MLB among OF, 100 RBI was the 6th highest total) made him appear to be one of the top OFers in baseball.

OF2 - Austin Jackson - Jackson did his best Benedict Arnold impersonation, finishing the Championship week with a 138/194/138 1R 1RBI 1SB line.  The best thing about Jackson's season was that he played adequate defense (it certainly wasnt his 256/308/347 season line...and it is appalling that a team would hit a man with a .308 OBP at the top of its lineup as Seattle did throughout its stretch run.  Maybe if they had a player that didnt make 7 outs in every 10 times up hitting the most of any player on their roster, they would have won one more game).

OF3 - Andrew McCutchen - The reigning NL MVP was the Tater Tot Championship MVP with a ridiculous 409/548/773 7R 8RBI 1SB week that pretty much put Tom over the top in every offensive category.  McCutchen put up an Escalator Club line FOR THE SEASON (314/410/542) with 89 runs, 83 RBI and 18 SBs.  It was the first time in his career that he failed to steal 20 bags and also halted his run of 3 consecutive 20-20 season.  Basically, McCutchen is a statistical shmorgashborg of goodness whom we are all lucky to be seeing play live.  When I watch him play, I get the distinct feeling that we will be telling our grandkids about what it was like to see his combination of speed, power, defense and dreadlocks.

Being a former hitter, I have never really valued pitchers that much.  So...they get the speed round treatment...and after you see the stats Tom's guys put up this week, you'll realize that there are only so many ways to say, "This guy fucking dominated." 
Tom's worst starter this week was the guy the A's are sending to the hill tonight in their win or go home game against the Royals, Jon Lester.  And Lester's 7K 3.86/1.14 1 QS line would have been nice to have many a week on the Hitless Bastards.  Zach Greinke (2W 11K 2.08/0.85 1QS), David Price (1W 16K 1.69/0.88 2QS), Jake Arrieta (1W 10K 0.00/0.43 1 QS), Josh Collmenter (1W 8K 1.88/0.63 2QS) and Carlos Carrasco (19K 1.80/1.00 2 QS) all completely dominated this week (and I refuse to believe that it was actually Aaron Harang who put up 1W 12K 1.98/1.17 2 QS this week.  What is this, 2006?)  They were so good that Tom managed to win 5 of the 6 pitching categories (he lost SV+H, just like he always does) with one of the spots being filled by Jesse Chavez, who didnt throw this week and who Tom outright released on Monday.

Week 4 Recaps: Bad Defense week

This week saw the highest score of the year and the two lowest scores of the year. There was also one close game that somehow turned out to be a win for Tom. The theme I found this week is that there were multiple defenses that scored atleast -4 or worse this week. Are we getting to the point in fantasy football where it may be better to leave the defense spot empty rather than to play one? No, but for some of these teams it wouldn't be a bad option. Anyways, on to the recaps.

Rolling Meadows Mustangs  88

DeMarco's reaction when he saw the rest of John's scores

I'm Ball Murray  52

If it wasn't for the Red Hawk's debacle (which I'll get to in a bit) John's score would have been the worst in the first four weeks of the season. This is probably carma for his arch nemesis Tom scoring 57 points two weeks in a row. The vodoo gods must have decided to even things out a bit. John's team  had one great performance, Demarco Murray (26), and 8 medium to extremely shitty performances. The stinkiest of the turds were the Bears D/ST (-4), who he just picked up a half hour before the game, Nick Foles (3), and Shonn Greene (1). This team without Murray scored a total of 36 points, I don't even know how to describe that. Its just awful, plain and simple. In fact, the four guys that actually played yesterday that were on I'm Ball Murray's bench outscored his starting lineup 53-52. Zach's Mustangs on the other hand, got a couple of good performances from Andrew Luck (29), Roddy White (13), and the Texans D/ST (13) to go along with a lot of margainal performances. But really all he needed were those first guys to easily put this matchup to sleep. Taking a look at the bench, John could've started Stafford over Foles and Terrance Williams over Cordarelle Patterson and he would've won 90-88. But instead he got crushed, for the second straight week, and now falls to 2-2. On Zach's side, there were a few players that scored a couple more points than a starter at thier position but nothing that really stands out. In the end, the Rolling Meadows Mustangs are 4-0 and looking in good shape to defend their title.

I forgot Asiata was on the Utah team that beat Alabama

Smokin Blounts N Drinkin Fortes  99
Wisconsin ArcticCats  90

Tom didn't score 57 points this week! In fact, fresh off his fantasy baseball championship (congrats by the way), he picked up the closest win of the week in a matchup that came down to last night's game. Gunnar needed 11 points from Stephan Gostowski last night to tie Tom, but unfrotunetly for him the Patriots got killed last night and didnt even attempt a field goal. Tom got huge games from Matt Asiata (27) and Matt Forte (16) to go along with a solid performance from Martellus Bennett (13). There were only two players on the roster that didn't live up to their projections this week, Dan Carpenter (5) and Brandin Cooks (3). This was also a very impressive win for Tom since many of his normal starters were on bye. When you look at Gunnars roster, it's hard to believe he lost this week. Gunnar had three outstanding performers this week with Aaron Rodgers (28) Randall Cobb (23) Antonio Brown (25). Those three alone put up 76 points, so how the hell did Gunnar's team possibly lose this week? Negative 7 points from the Panthers D/ST is a good place to start. The negative 7 points took away the total of 7 points combined from Stevan Jackson (5) and Stephan Gostowski (2). Gunnar also started Bernard Pierce who didn't even see the field on Sunday due to the Ravens being careful with his injury. So the only additional points to the 76 put up by the big 3 for Gunnar came from Antonio Gates (3) and Ahmad Bradshaw (11). I feel like Gunnar should probably get some kind of reward for finding a way to lose, even when he had three of the highest scoring players on his team. Taking a look at the benchs, there are many players Gunnar could have started that would have given him the win (Victor Cruz, Trent Richardson, Golden Tate). As I mentioned earlier Smokin Blounts N Drink Fortes' bench was wiped out with bye week players outside of Justin Forsett, who had a good 15 points week, and Pierre Thomas (1).

F U Dr. Panda!

Team Mustangs  86
Kalamazoo Red Hawks  28

I mentioned in the first post of the year that last season the Red Hawks had some trouble fielding a starting lineup of 9 players who weren't on bye or injured. Well, it looks like its happening again. Despite talking to Chris a couple times last week, he still didn't switch out his lineup which meant leaving 4 bye players in the lineup. On top of that, Chris's had a nice -5 spot at the defensive positon from the Patriots, which as I said was a trend this week. Looking at the bench, Chris could have put in the best guys he had and still only put up 57 points (he doesn't have a backup quarterback so that spot would still be empty). Chris if your reading this you need to get your shit figured out, this is unacceptable! Team Mustangs, who could've won this game with only two players, had an easy win this weekend. T's Mustangs had six guys score in double digits this week but also had a shitty defensive effort, Saints D/ST (-6). I don't know what the deal was with defenses this week but that's the third substantial negative outing I've seen so far through 3 games. Tony Romo was left on the bench this week for T, despite the fact that he could've nearly beat the Red Hawks by himself. Overall this game makes me mad becasue it's not that hard to switch up a lineup, it takes 30 seconds. I can understand if it is one guy but not half of the team. This better not happen again Christopher...

This is for you Jason!

Show Me Them TD's  116
Multiple Scoregasms  85

So yesterday I picked some fun at Jason and now I get to do it again. This is the 6th straight victory for me over Jason, going all the way back to week 4 of the 2011 season (Jason beat me 111-68 that week). In fact I am 8-1 against Jason in the regualr season since this league was created in 2010, however I am 0-1 agaisnt him when it counts (I lost the championship to him in 2010). Anyway back to this year, my team had a great game. Six of my nine starters scored in double digits lead by Jordy Nelson's 22 points. The worst performance on my team was Marques Colston with 5 points which isn't good but it's not terrible. Jason had four double digit outings, including a 25 point standout performance for Steve Smith Sr. against his old team. Unfortunetly for Jason though, he got a 0 spot from DeSean Jackson and only 5 points from Reggie Bush who looks to be losing his job to Joique Bell. Both Jason and myself had a player on the bench that would've improved our overall scores but it wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome. This win for me keeps me only two games back of Zach for first place in the division, while Jason now falls 3 games back. However, it's still early and a lot could happen between now and the end of the season.

Baghdad Bombers  137
MeAndJulioDown ByTheSchoolYard  70

Your welcome Josh! Last week I sent Phillip Rivers and Frank Gore to Josh and combined they put up 49 points to help buiry Louie. The 137 point performance was by the best output of the season, topping John's 132 point performance from week 1. Also, the 67 point spread between the teams was the largest of the season, a mark that was held by myself when I beat Josh's Bombers in week 2 by 63 points. This week was obviously a different story for Josh as his Bombers had 6 players in double digits (3 in the 20's) and out of the 3 players in single digits, the 8 by Fred Jackson was the lowest. Josh played all the right guys this week as his bench didn't do much at all (beside the 11 points from Doug Martin). For Louie's team, the Dolphins D/ST had a big week. In fact, this game actually broke away from the norm of the week as both teams had defenses that scored in the double digits. Outside of that, MAJD BTSY had a good performance from DeAndre Hopkins (12) and had a good game going with Cutler in the first half before he started throwing picks. What brought Louie down was that he had five players that scored 5 points or less. On his bench, Knile Davis had a decent game but it wouldn't have put Louie in the same area code as Josh. Louie got schooled down by the school yard this week.

The Legend of Lester the Molester Begins

Origin myths are the most popular stories ever told and every culture from every period of time has one that is, more or less, unique to them but that is usually clearly related to, or reflects, stories told by people in other parts of the world and/or in other periods of time.  I will assume that most of you reading this are at least aware of the Bible and know the basic details that are explained in the Book of Genesis (ie In the beginning there was darkness..., everything was created in 7 days, God decided things should exist and they came into being, etc.).  I will also assume that most of you know that the creation myths in the Torah (Jewish Holy book), the Qur'an (Muslim Holy book) and the Old Testament of the Bible are (depending on the translations) basically the same things.  That knocks out a large part of the world and a large portion of time, but the fact that they are similar shouldnt be that surprising, as each was likely informed and impacted by the other. 
What has always struck me though, was that many of the Native American creation myths clearly paralleled those of the Eurpoeans, yet it would have been nearly impossible for those to have been impacted by the European's creation myths.  If you ever have some time to kill and want to enlighten yourself to a wider worldview than the one you have likely grown up with, take a look at some Native American creation myths (or Native American myths in general).
The Modern World has become less concerned with macromythology (a word that I just made up to signify the world creating, race defining kind of myth), though the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings series would staunchly disagree, and more concerned with micromythology (a term I just made up to signify mythology surrounding a particular individual).  Think the latest run of Batman movies (the Christian Bale ones, not the upcoming Ben Affleck ones), or the endless run of Spiderman films.  Heck, one of the X-Men movies is even called "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" with more supposedly to follow.  Superhero movies (and comic books) are at the heart of our modern mythology, but it extends beyond them as well.  The increasingly popular (and spectacular in almost every way) Dr. Who is, at its most basic, a series of myths about the only remaining member of a race of time travelers who makes it his personal goal to ensure the survival of the human race in the face of threats from several extraterrestial sources at numerous points in time and space (and trust me, I love me some Dr. Who.  If you havent seen it, Uncle Jimmy and I would recommend it.  I would start with the first Matt Smith season.  The David Tennant ones are great, but the production value is really low because they werent sure anyone was really going to watch it.  When Tennant left and Smith stepped in, it took on an almost movie like quality.  The jury is still out on this Peter Capaldi fellow, but so far I havent hated him, which is more than I expected for the guy replacing Smith).  The show creates its own entire universe that nestles up to ours.  Really, the more that I think about it, it really is an almost perfect example of myth building.
With the epic 10-2 beatdown of the Zach Attack, Tom's Lester the Molesters finished a rags to riches, worst to first, Annexation of Puerto Rico-like story, which is the first chapter in the Tater Tot story and obviously destined to become myth.  And it definitely deserves more time than I have had to give it today.  So the recap of the championship will be coming tomorrow.

Ankles are a Bitch

Unfortunately I couldn't find a
picture of Jason pissed off

This weekend's games were stunning. That's about as simple as I can say it. It actually started on Thursday night when Eli Manning and the Giants destroyed the Redskins. It's crazy to think of how bad this team was just two weeks ago when they fell to 0-2. Now they've reeled off two wins and analysts are starting to say the Giants are back. This is extremely frustrating for me, not because I dislike the Giants, but because I love seeing the Eli face. It reminds me of a young Jason Kamrowski (owner of Multiple Scoregasms) when he would be losing a game in Madden. Yeah I just called you out buddy, what are you gonna do about it? I don't know if I've ever laughed harder in my life than the times Jason would be losing in Madden and would just lose him mind, yelling at the TV, chewing out every single animated player on screen, and being grumpy afterward. #Bahring













Another surprise this week was the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints both losing in games they should have won. The Falcons went up against an impressive first start of Teddy Bridgewater. The Vikings did a great job developing a game plan for him to help take the pressure off, especially those short passes to Jaruis Wright. For you Vikings fans there is one possible problem here, Bridgewater sprained his ankle and the man, myth, and legend Christian Ponder stepped in. The glorious Ponder may end up having to start against the Packers this Thursday night and I think we all now how good that will go for him. When it comes to the Saints losing in Dallas, it wasn't that they lost but how they lost. They were smoked in Jerryworld. The game was over by halftime which I don't know if I've ever seen happen to the Saints since the Drew Brees era started. Here's a fun fact, the Saints and the Buccaneers have the same record. Yeah the same team that got beat 56-14 last Thursday has the same record as many people's NFC favorites. By the way the ending to the Steelers / Bucs game yesterday was crazy, I would say it was the biggest "upset" (I don't really like to use this word for NFL games but I didn't know how else to say it) of the year so far in the NFL. Anyway after yesterday, it just solidified my thought that both the Falcons and the Saints simply can't win on the road. For whatever reason, neither team looks the same when they are away from their dome sweet dome.

Now I have to talk a little about my favorite game of the weekend, the Packers huge win at Chicago. After last week, it seemed like most people were saying that the Packers aren't that good this year and that it is the Bears and Lions division. Well hold that thought! Yesterday the Packers showed why they are still the team to beat in the NFC North (you can argue this all you want). Rodgers was playing like his usual self and well, Jay Cutler was playing like his usual self. Cutler had a couple of nice touchdown throws like he usually does, and a couple of interceptions like he usually does. You could make a case that the second one was on Marshall and you'd probably be right, but the first one was definitely a bad decision by Cutler. Tramon Williams was shaded inside to cover the slant route and Cutler still tried to force the ball to his receiver which led to the tip and the interception by Clay Matthews. Like I said after week 1, until Chicago has a different quarterback under center they will not be playing late in January. One other thing I saw in this game was poor clock management by Mark Trestman. With a minute left in the first half he decided to run the ball twice, wasting a timeout the first time and wasting about 15 seconds before the next snap the second time. This lead to the time running out on the last play of the half when Martellus Bennett was stopped short of the endzone. That play changed the entire game and gave the Packers the upper hand with having the lead and getting the ball to start the second half.

There were a couple other things that happened this weekend that caught my attention, one of which was the fact that Derrick Carr hurt his ankle. This means the pick 6 machine, Matt Schaub, may have a starting job again in two weeks when Oakland comes off their bye to play the Chargers. The other thing I noticed yesterday was that LeSean McCoy has been an after thought in the Eagles offense. The guy that was a number 1 pick in most fantasy drafts has not put up the stats people thought he would. I believe a lot of this has to do with the addition of  Darren Sporles to this offense. In the first two weeks of the season, McCoy was at least able to get involved in the passing game along with the running game to put together 115 and 102 total yards. However, he hasn't caught a pass the last two weeks and has only ran for a total of 39 yards. Just to put that into perspective, McCoy's yards per rush attempt or pass reception in the first two weeks was 4.25, the past two weeks it's been 1.3. For an Eagles offense that is supposed to be so explosive (although they didn't score a point offensively on Sunday) this is a troubling scenario for McCoy's fantasy owners, which in are league is the defending champion Rolling Meadows Mustangs.

Current Rosters

Posted below will be all 10 current (final) rosters with the price that I have listed for each player.  I have gone over these pretty carefully, but if you think there is a mistake, I will gladly take another look.  With the waiver wire now closed (I think), these should be the rosters that we go through the winter with.  I will try to have a trading period open in February (whenever we can sign up for the new baseball season), but there will be no trading and no waiver until then.  Any move that is made will be reversed.

For keepers, remember, you are keeping 10 players, no more, no fewer.  Keepers are due March 1, 2015 (theres more on that in an earlier post), but I will send out reminders and talk to most of you before then.  If you would like to submit keepers prior to that, please feel free.  They may get posted, but they will not be official until March 1.  For example, if Kyler tells me his 10 keepers tomorrow, I will likely post them sometime between now and March 1st.  But Kyler can revise those keepers at any time up until midnight on the morning of March 1.  If some of you are worried you will forget, you can turn keepers in tomorrow and then revise them as many times as you want.  As long as I have a keeper list with 10 names from you between now and March 1, 2015 you will get the players on that list.  If you do not provide a list (there is no excuse for this), I will assign your 10 highest paid players as keepers, regardless of position.  If you have a pair of 1b amongst your 10 highest paid, then you will keep 2 1b.

If anyone has questions on this, let me know.
