Around the Ruthlandian West Division
2065 Ruthlandian West Final Standings
1st Place: Colfax Black Sox (92-62)
Last Pennant: 2063
Pro Cups: 1 (2010)
It was a great comeback season for the Black Sox... they were picked in the preseason to finish near the bottom, seventh place... instead, they captured their second Ruthlandian West in the last three years... Colfax fought Sligo, Fort Benton and Middlefield most of the season... running third most of the time... however, they went 19-4 in September and blew everybody out of the saddle and won the division flag by 7 games... the Black Sox had a great season in '63, losing out in the Pro Cup Finals to IPA overall champion Hartsdale in 6 games... is Colfax back and ready for another run for the Pro Cup trophy?... maybe... historically, Colfax has made 14 postseason appearances and won one Pro Cup.
This year's edition of the the Black Sox may be better than the '63 club... they have more a little more offense in the lineup... Colfax has some top guns this year (.279 BA)... they topped the Ruthlandian Union in scoring (780 runs) and were second in homers (173)... the Black Sox have three solid starters, but possess a mediocre bullpen... and they are good with the gloves (.979 FA)... the big question is can Colfax win the Pro Cup with just its bats?
