Thornton wouldn't have even lasted that long, he was my next pick as well. Luckily there's another guy i want just as much as Thornton: F Jason Maxiell

Anderson Silva is just scary good right now. 5 UFC fights, 5 total asskickings and showing no signs of slowing down. Okami i guess is next and i doubt that will be any different. About the only 'impressive' thing about Sylvia/Vera is that Vera managed to be even more boring than Sylvia, and that's an accomplishment. Terrible fight and gameplan from Vera, and Tim Sylvia just needs to go away. Belcher looked pretty good, other than that nothing else stands out as being particularly memorable. Aside from the main event this was one of the weaker UFC shows in a while, still enjoyable but nothing i'm dying to see again.

God bless LSU and TD's with 1 second remaining. My hopes of running the table remain alive, although now that i'm thinking about going the full season undefeated i'm bound to fuck up sooner or later.

2 minutes away from going 7-0 and Auburn blow it for me, though i'll still be undefeated if Kansas State keep beating Colorado. God damn Auburn. Correction: I love Auburn. 7-0 and (probably) still ranked #1.

Odom's already gone, he's one of alfdogg's keepers.

I suppose i can't complain, going from a horrendously shitty team last year to the championship game this year. Too bad my pitching aside from Jake Peavy all chose this week to fall apart after being awesome all year.

Man, getting to #1 is hard.

5-0, beaten two #1 teams in two weeks, surely nothing can keep me out of 1st place this time.

Revised Keepers: Johan Santana (Round 1) Jake Peavy (Round 3) Travis Hafner (Round 4) Kelvim Escobar (Round 9) Curtis Granderson (Round 11) Hanley Ramirez (Round 20)
