Sim #5
===========================================
If we weren't sure whether or not the Felons were going to make the playoffs, we are now after this sim. The Felons lost just twice in 14 games and are now 21 games over the second place Storm.
However the rest of the league still keeps its competitiveness. Just 4 games seperate the second to fourth place team. The Juves have fallen behind now while the Beavers have completely dug themself a hole. They are now a whopping 11 games out of the last playoff spot and are 7 games from their expansion rival, the Invaders. The Invaders are actually playing extremely well, former Felon, starting catcher, phantomjedi is playing great batting .316 with 2 HR and 30 RBI's. Veteran Closer, trident is doing his job, saving 11 games out of a possible 13 (84.6%) while maintaining a 2.08 ERA.
The Blazers are catching up to the storm, they are now just 1 game away from taking over the last playoff spot. They have been playing extremely well considering their best player, RemDawg has been out for the rest of the season. The entire team has pinched in, players such as StLouisPride, messenjah, connor180 etc have been playing way over expectation. I will not be surprised if this team returns to the championships again this season.
The Storm have not been playing horribly, but metskid's 3-man rotation seems to be wearing out the pitching staff and it's showing through the 7 losses this past sim for the Storm. The Big 4 have been in a small slump, in fact, not even one player bats over .300 on this lineup. They will need some pitching if they have any intention of making the playoffs this year.
