In Bronze .353 the National Conference is wrapping up with no drama in the division champ playoff spots, but the wildcard is up for grabs. My Tucson Sidewinders have finally started to turn around their terrible defense and are slotted in the top wildcard spot in the moment.
Sadly, in the part of the game that I really have been paying attention to, Tucon's Vic Raishi just doesn't look like he'll have enough to deny Pedro Martinez a triple crown. With an ERA .75 points better than anyone, and 3 wins league with 4 starts to go, only Vic Raishi looked to have a realistic chance to catch Pedro in K's this year, but even with a superior K/9 and 2 extra starts he's 28 behind as the season hits the late stretch.
Also, while it was probably not worth the training time, George Vukovich emerged as the MVBronze, with as a worthy CF Platoon member (w/Torii Hunter), hitting .303/.354/.454 and putting together his defensive skills enough to only hemmorage -5.1 ZR through 100 starts. The CF platoon has 167 hits, 41 2bs and 19 homeruns for a combined 3.0 WAR, which makes them the third most valuable bat on my team. Not bad for a couple of bronzes, especially since they out performed an 80 Jose Vidro.
