Oh man, it's going to be a long day at work today. I'm just about to wrap up the 1982 season. Only 2 days remain. The National League race has already been decided with San Francisco taking the top spot and Los Angeles taking the wild card. The Detroit Cyclones have clinched the top spot in the American League, but the wild card is still up for grabs. The Boston Flyers and the New York Vipers are both 96-64 on the final Saturday of the season and as luck would have it, the two teams will go head to head to decide which team faces Detroit in the LCS. Boston is led by the hitting of Paul Molitor, Dan Ford and Ryan Klesko. They have the best closer in the game right now, Steve Howe. Howe has 45 saves and ERA in the Hood of 1.40. He's thrown close to 100 innings as well. Meanwhile, New York has strong pitching and hitting, with Rusty Staub, Al Oliver, Bob Horner and AJ Pollock leading the charge. On the mound, Bob Friend and Jon Matlack continue their dominance. Both look like they will pass the 200 win mark before they end their careers.
