As we get closer to the playoffs, here is a little recap of where we are
AC West: An unbelievable season for some of the teams in the AC West.
The San Diego Chargers with their average team but wicked park have been able to collect win after win against
teams that look stronger on paper. Well done!!!
My own Base Thieves continue to be 8.5 games back and can't seem to catch up. Too many series go the wrong
way. At this point, it will be the San Diego Chargers taking the division and one of the three other teams
(Florida Phoenix, Whalebacks, and Base Thieves) taking a wild card spot.
AC Central: Another unexpected result. The Redlegs have continued to keep the Zorros from the top spot
and are currently 4 games ahead. All other teams have fallen out of contention already.
Hopefully Zorro can turn things around and snap out of his losing streaks and get back to playing
above .500 (4-6 in the last 10 games).
AC East: The Area X Alchemists have a 8.5 game lead and look destined for the playoffs.
Unfortunately, the Titans have a tough September schedule so it will be hard for them to catch up.
NC West:
Two teams are still fighting for the division title (Perfectos and Snowbirds).
Both teams are just 2.5 games apart from each other.
The team that drops to the second spot, will have to fight off 4 other teams for the
second wild card spot. Game 163 ?
NC Central:
The NC Central has 3 teams fighting for the top spot (Suns, Dragons, and Falcons).
All three teams are just 2.5 games apart and may even have a 4th team join them (Radium Curies),
who are currently 4.5 games behind.
I am surprised I did not end up in this division having found the Falcons for several seasons in a row.
NC East:
Two teams are in a battle for the top spot (Oakland Keys and Meltdown).
At this point, the Oakland Keys hold the top spot while the Meltdown team dominates the
wild card competition (+7).
Good luck to all teams still trying to secure a playoff spot.
On a separate note, we have no player near the HR record. George Brett (27) and Mike Trout (28) are too far
to get there with just one month to go.
For the first time, Pedro Martinez is not in the top pitching WAR spot. He is only 4th with Schilling (2x) and
Red Ruffing ahead of him.
