[USML Announce] Hey Kerber (and the rest of you too)

[Andrew R. Klein]

I just looked -- A-Rod, Manny, Chavez, and Damon:  I already have 50 offense
points before you bums get started.  Add in the league's premier closer
(B.J. Ryan at $10) and I'm well on my way!  It looks like we'll finally have
a USML title and a Cubs World Series victory in the same year.  I love
baseball in February!!

-Andy

Andy -- you'll feel better if you don't look.
