Thanks Dan, thanks Steve.....

I've put together a pretty good few weeks, but I checked both your records....looks like you guys have put together a pretty good half a decade.

You're both talented players & class acts.

It’s safe to say Glenn Lowy’s on a roll in the NFBC. With two weekly wins in the past three weeks, there isn’t a hotter team in the event than Lowy’s Glnneration X team.

So what’s the secret to Glenn’s success?

“The difference between winning and losing at fantasy sports is making prepared and educated decisions and having those decisions work out, even tough once the decision is made what happens afterwards is completely out of our control,” Lowy said.

Last week, Lowy’s decision making proved to be at the expert level once again as he topped the NFBC field with 3,316.5 points.

Big weeks from Nyjer Morgan (.419-1-4-3), Jimmy Rollins (6 SBs), Kevin Youkilis (.559-2-7-0-9) and Melky Cabrera (.346-2-5) led the way at the plate. Josh Beckett and Chris Carpenter combined for four wins and 22 Ks while Huston Street had three saves to lead the pitching staff.

“For me this week, some decisions I made with my lineup made the difference,” Lowy said. “We all have our nine or 10 position players and five or six pitchers that are our core and play week after week. However, most of us stream pitchers and some others stream position players. It doesn't always work out but for me this week it was golden.

“I originally had J.D. Drew and Seth Smith in my lineup, but pulled them out when I saw that they were facing multiple lefties this week. The players I replaced them with - Melky Cabrera and Kyle Blanks - had huge weeks.

“I also chose to start Carl Pavano and Jorge DeLarosa over a red-hot Brett Anderson to take advantage of Pavano's two start week and because I liked DeLarosa's matchup more than Anderson's. Both Pavano and DeLarosa threw gems that helped push me over the top at the end of the week. These kind of decisions don't always work, but for me this week, it was the difference.”
