It all ended April 28th 2009 with this:
The exciting ball game between the Mets and Marlins ended with our old friend C Belt in the on deck circle and as of that point a .395 batting average. It has been a great ride from the day we announced the Last Man Standing here at the WaterCooler with plenty of drama and intrigue to keep every fan excited. The season started April 5th and the Last Man Standing came to an end April 28th with a total of seven worthy competitors.

Boy it is hot out there and even hotter in here at the SK Last Man Standing update center. That is mainly because the Last Man Standing Update Center is actually run out of an abandoned Daewoo plant. We have big changes in the standings, were down to just a hand full of warriors for that copy of SK's 7th Birthday party at Space Plex. At the moment we are down to three players with averages over .400, all of the usual suspects; Carlos , Kevin and Victor.

Welcome back and there are plenty of great seats up front, don't be shy. Another week has passed and we are still going strong, in fact at this pace we will pass the Bombay Last Tea Cup Standing Cricket Test Average of 1987 in less then seven weeks! As of 7:00 P.M Eastern Standard Time we still have eight players with a .400 of higher batting average. Though my chess rival Christy Guzman batting .515 is about to drop to unqualified status due to lack of plate appearances. ( Oh wait he already has!)

Welcome gladiators and fanatics to the annual POWERADE Last
Man Standing homepage and center. As 87.93% of you know the ELMS is a classic
game of cat & mouse, where sophisticated assassins explore, research and
simply blindly guess on who will be the Last Man Standing according to the
archaic rules that I have set forth. For the 7% or 30%, depending on if you’re
using Benjamin Franklin or Elton John lenses, of you who do not know what ELKS

baseball select who they feel like will be the last player during the year to
keep over a .400 batting average.

Ah another lovely fall day has
passed and what better way to spend it than participating in Americas’s pass
time…no not football, who wants to have that many people in one place, how
about something a little less social and closer to home. Croquet, yes!, oh but
wait little Kyle smashed half of the Dick’s Sport Goods brand into the frozen
tundra that is your suburban citadel . The other half of course is under the
leaves that the little lady has been nagging for you to pick up for weeks.
Don’t worry you will turn around and convince little Kyle and Helen to do it
for a meal at Fatburger, two birds with one stone, child labor and bonding with
the little prince and princes.
(You will find this in your
Croquet set from Wal-Mart, exactly in this condition with modern production costs.
