Fine Looks to Build Up on Trophies of a Different Sort

After winning his second LCBL championship last year, Jeff went out and bought a 4’ by 6’ trophy case, confident that he would take a trophy home every year.

Reality: Knock, knock.
Jeff: “Whose there?”
Reality: “Reality”
Jeff: “Reality who?”
Reality: “Reality! Just plain, simple reality…well, reality with a little sub-par Verlander, Cain, Howard, Liriano, Oritz, Francoeur, Saltman, and Weeks added.”

With the championship trophy clearly out of reach, Fine now looks to fill his trophy case with whatever he can get. In the LCBL, that means a product of his own creation: the somewhat less coveted Golden Gibler Award, given to the team with the most futile roster activity.

In 9th place, Fine’s L.A. Lollygaggers have only made 40 roster moves this year – not close to the 79 moves made by second-place Crazy 88s and still five fewer than the first-place Treehorns. However, 14 of those 40 roster moves have been made in the last 5 days. Clearly, Fine, having recognized his hopelessness in this years LCBL, and fearful of having a huge trophy case with little in it, is happy to fill his case with whatever he can get his hands on.
