[USML Announce] All Hail The Berliners

[Andy Klein]

I was getting ready to prepare my Congratulations Note, as well.  So ...

1.  Congratulations to Jeff and the Berliners, who will be hoisting the
Damon next spring!!

2.  Congratulations to Mark B. for preventing the K9 from from achieving
its top annual goal of beating the Bombers. (Rick, I'd congratulate you, as
well, but am not quite ready to concede third to the Hoosier Daddies.)

3.  Congratulations to the Lubeasts for foisting Jeff Samardzija and Jeremy
Guthrie on me in the franchise's first trade since returning to the league.
 (Frank - please don't tell anyone that I specifically asked for Guthrie
when you were offering Chris Young.  Sigh.)

4.  Congratulations to Mark Kerber for being the only guy in the league to
laugh off Winick's "anti-puffery" as I shopped Roberto Osuna.  I hope the
Nukes enjoy owning a $5 closer on the AL's best team.  (And, thanks Kerbs,
for the 1.3 innings that Jason Vargas contributed to my team.  Grrrrr ...)

5.  Congratulations to the AYM for trading Nick Castellanos immediately
before he became Evan Longoria ... in exchange for Evan Longoria just
before he became Nick Castellanos. And don't even get me started on Annibal
Sanchez.  (Doug - I do recognize that you traded Chris Davis to me in 2014,
and he did end up having a pretty nice season.  :) )

Maybe most important, congratulations to all for a great season.  I'm
already looking forward to next year's draft. (AND GO CUBS!!)

-Andy
