[USML Announce] Boulevard of Broken Teams (apologies to Green Day)

[Andrew Klein]

Wow.  First, Mark starts playing roto like Brad by turning his magic 
beans into a roster full of stars.  Now, he's writing emails that sound 
like Brad!  As Mark cruises to toward The Wieters, I suggest that we 
change his team name.  No longer is it "Block's Bombers".  From here on 
out, I will refer to his squad as "The Little Rippers."

That is all.
