Only the Fungoes and the Nads are short of 100 games at the moment. Nads had malware issues and lost some data, but he is working to get caught back up. If any of you have an opportunity in the next week to play the Nads or Fungi and help them reach 100 games by August 1, please do so.

The Wahoos have climbed into the driver's seat for the Wild Card. They have a 2 game lead over the Rhinos, a 4 game lead over the DVs, and a 5 game lead over the Zaps. The SuperGoofs and Fungoes have both slipped under .500 and are well back.

By the way, I hear that until your Nads have had malware issues, you ain't really ever suffered.
