The Stretch Run

With just under a month to play, the playoffs are starting to firm up (which is more than I can say for me).

The Buckeyes clinched the MFD back in May, and will be the #1 seed in the playoffs. This despite going 4-6 vs the Warpigs and having absolutely zero quality players on the team.

The defending champion Sidewinders, who have been to three straight World Series, have the second bye almost locked up. Well, not mathematically, I guess. They have 92 wins with 14 to play, and the Inmates have 94 wins with 10 to play. But the Inmates have to play the Mavs, who are fighting for a wild card, and the Snakes play the Bees, who are fighting the wild turkey.

The Inmates have't clinched the HWD yet. The division is the best race in NASOMA, with the Rhinos forcing their way into the picture (and doing it even though they ran out of catcher ABs in July). The Fungoes have 88 wins with 8 to play, so... yeah, they're not going to win the division.

The BUD is an all or nothing division, with the Wild Card probably not coming from here. The FFTs are in the clubhouse with 88 wins, but the Wahoos have won 71 with 32 to play, and the DVs have 77 wins with 19 to play. The DVs and Wahoos have 11 games left against each other. If such a thing were possible, this would be an exciting series.

As for the Wild Card, the Rhinos and Fungoes lead the way, with the Wahoos 5 games back, and the Mavs and DVs 5.5 back.

Here's a look at the current situation...

Thanks Rick. Fungoes are limping along just waiting to fall out of the post season!
