Over in the Coastal League the picture is painted VERY differently.

Since the halfway mark Philly is 33-23, but Baltimore hasn't missed a beat at 32-23. Curious to see how this plays out now as we are 1 game back for best record.

In the Central nothings really changed. We've gone 34-21 but Columbus is 32-23 to lose little ground and actually attempt to hang with Baltimore in the WC.

In the west LA's 37-23 has blown that division out. Fresno was 3 back, and their 18-38 implosion cost them 19 games. Vegas went 27-28 and is basically in 2nd due to the Grizzly melt down. Michigan continues to make itself into the Cubs of the IBL, going 17-37 since the 81 game mark.

The Railcats have a firm hold on the WC.

If the playoffs started today Philly and Baltimore would play, and we'd draw LA.

Thomas Hood has missed 5 weeks since the break and can't qualify yet, he's back in 2 days and hitting .334 when he does.

Carlos Arredondo hit 24 in the seasons first 81 games, he's hit 24 more in the 56 games since then. Bill Alexander has hit 16 to fall 3 back. He hasn't stopped producing runs though, driving in 54 runs in the past 55. Wilson has driven in 56, Boyd 44.

Mike Holmes is 6-0 in his last 6 starts to tie Chris O'Slattery at 17. Vincent Bray is 8-1 in his last 11.
