Wahoos 7, Inmates 3
WAHOOS 9 – INMATES 2 (Baptist Bowl): Buehrle
throws a complete game, losing the shutout in the 9th when he decides
the Inmates have been humiliated enough and allows a pair of meaningless runs to
score.
WAHOOS 14 – LDMF 0 (Baptist Bowl):
No shit, this was really ugly. Morel (!?!) goes 4 for 6 with a bases-loaded
triple, Jurrjens throws a 5-hitter, and the LDMF sucks.
WAHOOS 4 – LDMF 0 (Baptist Bowl):
Inmates have yet to see the Wahoo bullpen. Masterson allows 3 hits and no walks;
the ‘Hoos turn 2 DPs, and face only one Inmate beyond the minimum.
WAHOOS 3 – INMATES 2 (Baptist
Bowl): Perez self-immolates in the 8th, blowing a save (and
himself) as -7 fans show up to the Baptist Bowl (really – that’s what the box
score says…).
INMATES 7 – WAHOOS 5 (Baptist
Bowl): WE CAN”T BELIEVE IT – THE INMATES WIN! The Wahoos score all their
runs in the 3rd. Perez gets the save.
INMATES 4 – WAHOOS 0 (The
Reservation): Chacin and Hernandez toss a 3-hitter. Cargo taters.
INMATES 9 – WAHOOS 4 (The
Reservation): Six Inmates homer in this game to extend the Beakless
Chicken Gang’s winning streak to three games.
WAHOOS 16 – INMATES 8 (The
Reservation): The Wahoos score 9 in the first and torch the LDMF
pitching staff, settling with 22 hits. Shit.
WAHOOS 9 – INMATES 4 (The
Reservation): Youklis tattered twice and Buehrle wins again. Sigh…
WAHOOS 8 – INMATES 6 (The
Reservation): Some asshole hits a walk-off homer in the 9th
to make the LDMF look even worse. Shit again. Diarrhea, actually…

Extra Reserve Contest Update
They're neck and neck! With seven days left in the regular season, the Zaps and Sidewinders are tied for the lead in the Extra Reserve Contest. For those of you scoring along at home, it comes down to this: the Zaps and Snakes have 8 common teams. The difference makers are the Blue Jays and Braves (SSW) vs the Brewers and Diamondbacks (Zaps). The Snakes would win if they tie due to Albert Pujols having already served as the Angels' DH 30 times.
I will try to update the standings daily for this last week of the season.

Pennant Race Update
Could it be that a team with a losing record makes the playoffs AS A WILDCARD? It's certainly possible. Right now, there are only 5 teams with records over .500. The DVs, Buckeyes, and Rhinos are running away with their divisions, and will all win 100+ games. The AWD leader is the Tweeners, who are 8 games over .500. The only other team with a winning record is the Drillers, and they are only 69-68.
The Fungoes would earn the last wildcard spot right now. They are 76-76 with 10 games to play. Right behind the Fungoes: the Mavs, the Zaps, and the Bees. Even the Inmates or Nads could be a surprise playoff contender.
No, really. The Inmates and Nads are only 4 games in back of the Fungoes. Stranger things have happened.
I've added a link on the website that ranks all the teams with their records and GB status.
Oh, and in the Extra Reserve Contest, the Mavs have fallen out of contention. The Zaps have come on strong, but the Sidewinders still hold the lead.

Tweeners 6, Zaps 1
With the AWD up for grabs, and the NASOMA 2-time defending champs VivaZapastas
strutting into town, the Logan County Tweeners rise to the occasion and take 6
of 7 games from the Zaps at the Hooverdome.
Game #1 the Tweeners jump on Niese early for a 4-0 lead, Nova gives a quality start, Tweeners get 14 hits including homers by Victorino, Hart, and Morse, 7-4 Tweeners win.
Game #2 Zaps take the early 3-0 lead on a McCutcheon tater, but the Tweeners hang tough, and Jose Tabata nails the only pitch thrown by Benoit in the bottom of the 9th for a walk-off 6-5 win.
Game #3 Tweeners get homers from Sandoval, Zobrist, Venable, and Victorino; MadBum fans 12; all for naught as Zaps win 10-4. Andruw Jones and Joses Reyes and Bautista combine to go 7 for 13 with 2 doubles, 2 homers, 7 runs scored and 8 RBIs.
Game #4 was a tight affair until Tweeners plate 6 in the 5th, King Felix wins his 16th, final score 11-6. Zaps waste 2 more homers and 5 RBIs by Bautista. A true team attack by the Tweeners as all 9 starters plus the Lone(y) pinch-hitter all hit safely and 7 different Tweeners drive in runs.
Game #5 we go to expanded rosters, but Dan Hudson needs little help with a complete game 5-1 victory. Carl Crawford's leadoff homer was all the Zaps could muster. Tweeners get homers from Cozart and Venable, along with 2-out ribbies from Morse and Sandoval.
Zap bats remained quiet in game #6 as Will Venable had 2 base hits and the NORM TWEENERS beat the TRISTAN VIVAZAPASTAS by a score of 6 to 1.
NORM came up with 3 runs in the 2nd inning. James Loney kicked off the action when he drew a walk. After an out was recorded, Venable stepped in and he tripled. Shane Victorino then worked the squeeze play to perfection. Victorino then stole second base. Alex Presley stepped into the box and doubled. After another out, Pablo Sandoval came to the plate and drew a walk. That early run support was enough for Gio Gonzalez(10-11) and NORM. TRISTAN was out-hit by NORM, 8 hits to 4.
Joel Hanrahan recorded his 9th save. Josh Johnson(0-1) took the loss. He
allowed 4 runs and 7 hits in 7 innings.
In the finale Tweeners pull away with a run in the 7th and 3 in the 8th to win 8-4, thanks in large part to the servings of reliever Nathan Eovaldi. Felix improves his record to 17-8. 2 RBIs each for Zobrist, Scutaro, Venable, and Victorino.
Bring on the Bees.
Game #1 the Tweeners jump on Niese early for a 4-0 lead, Nova gives a quality start, Tweeners get 14 hits including homers by Victorino, Hart, and Morse, 7-4 Tweeners win.

Bring on the Bees.
DVs 4, Buckeyes 1
DiamondVision and the Buckeyes netplayed the
last 5 games of their season series at the Buckeye Palace. By winning 4 of 5 the
DVs inch ahead of the Bucks for
the #1 seed, with a one game overall lead and two ahead in the loss column.
Game 1 – Giancarlo Stanton homers and has 2
doubles while Helton and Granderson add solo blasts in a 7-1 DV win that moves
Jared Weaver to 20-6.
Game 2 – Buckeyes ride Aceves 7 and 1/3 innings
of 6 hit, 8 strikeout pitching to win 11-3. Giancarlo opened the flood gates in
the 2nd with the dreaded “Double and two base error – all runners
score” result that ultimately leads to 3 runs in that frame and the Bucks pile
on 5 runs in the 3rd.
Game 3 – DVs score 5 in the 5th and
coast to a 10-2 win- nothing notable here as even Wrigley and Shea showed little
interest.
Game 4 – Ogando turns in a stellar effort in a
combined shutout as the DVs score 8 runs on 10 hits in an 8-0 win.
Game 5 –
Finally a close game. DVs lead 2-0 after 2, Bucks tie it in the 3rd,
then push ahead 6-2 through 4 as Chipper homers off of Halladay. Undaunted, the
DVs answer with Granderson (38th) and Giancarlo (48th) HRs
and score 3 in both the 5th and 6th to go ahead 8-6. Of
course the DV bullpen hacks up a fur ball behind Clippard and Bard, allowing 2
in the 8th, the second run coming on a Shelley Duncan (the baseball
player, not the actress – she was “Sandy”) ground ball X chance that Hardy can’t
corral. In the 10th Holliday singles home Granderson and Drew Storen
saves the day in the DV 9-8 win.
DVs have 16 games left, Buckeyes 14. Stay tuned
for the ultimate DV collapse.
Fungoes 5, Wahoos 5
Fungoes outscored the Wahoos in the series 34-24 and shut
the Wahoos out three times. But the Wahoos still managed 5 wins. All five games
at WTF were pitchers duels. No team scored more than 3 in those games.
Sidewinders 3, Wahoos 2
Game 1: Wahoos squander a
6-run inning as the Snakes rally against Mujica for the 7-6 win.
Game 2: Snakes jump out to a 3-0 lead after two. Tex hit a grand slam in
the third. But the Snakes use a 6-run inning to come back and win 10-8. Danks
went all the way. Struck out a dozen. Gave up 13 hits.
Game 3: Wahoos win, 8-5. Guess what. Another big inning. This time the
Wahoos were powered by a Youkilis homer and scored 4 in the seventh.
Game 4: Early error by Tex helps open flood gates. We lose 9-0.
Game 5: Wahoos win 3-2 on a double from Jay in the ninth.

The Run for the Playoffs
The DVs have clinched their division and are within striking distance of the Buckeyes for the best record in the league. Congrats to the DVs. Sorry about your unexpected early exit from the post season again. (I just wanted to be the first to say it. And there was nothing unexpected about it - I was just being nice.)
The Buckeyes and Rhinos are on the verge of clinching their divisions.
Among the DVs, Buckeyes, and Rhinos, it appears two will get first round byes and the other will have to play a first round series.
The AWD has the only race going on. The Tweeners lead the Zaps by a game and a half. Even the Bees are only 4.5 back, but they're the Bees, so who cares?
Looks like the Snakeman picked a bad time to give up alcohol.
The battle for the two wild card spots will be interesting. The AWD runner up, the Fungoes, and the Drillers are neck and neck and neck for the two spots. The Mavs and Bees are close as well.
Technically, the Wahoos could still work their way into the playoff talk, but they'd have to actually play some games... and win. Don't hold your breath.
Should be fun. Well, if you're IN the race. For the rest of us, there's the battle for draft positioning.
The Buckeyes and Rhinos are on the verge of clinching their divisions.
Among the DVs, Buckeyes, and Rhinos, it appears two will get first round byes and the other will have to play a first round series.
The AWD has the only race going on. The Tweeners lead the Zaps by a game and a half. Even the Bees are only 4.5 back, but they're the Bees, so who cares?
Looks like the Snakeman picked a bad time to give up alcohol.
The battle for the two wild card spots will be interesting. The AWD runner up, the Fungoes, and the Drillers are neck and neck and neck for the two spots. The Mavs and Bees are close as well.
Technically, the Wahoos could still work their way into the playoff talk, but they'd have to actually play some games... and win. Don't hold your breath.

Would you keep Pineda? Man that Lincecum trade sucks. I traded away my favorite
Red for 2 unusable pitchers. Other than the Albert Belle trade (I think he was
still called Joey then) this is worst trade I have ever made. Holla.

We all make bad trades. Giving up on Pineda now would just compound it.Pigman
I know but Pineda showed up overweight to camp
and recently was arrested for DUI. If I wanted a fat drunk guy on my team I'd
draft my brother.

DVs 8, SuperGoofs 2
DiamondVision and SuperGoofs hooked up via
netplay to play their season series. DV’s take 8 of 10 as they await their first
round playoff disposal.
Since I’m continually tired of typing it, and in
the interest of saving kilobytes on the server, wherever you see “*” – simply
insert the following verbiage : “DVs hit a bunch of solo homeruns on the way to
a ”
G1 – “*” 11-5 victory
G2 – “*” 10-3 victory
G3 - “*” 7-2 victory
G4 – “*” 6-5 victory in 11 innings as Mike Adams
finally gets tired after pitching something like 7+ innings
G5 – “*” 5-2 victory
G6 – “*” 10- 6 LOSS after the SuperGoofs
management lamblast their players in the press in the game 5 post game press
conference
G7 – “*” 6-0 victory
G8 – “*” 10-6 victory
G9 – “*” 8-4 victory
G10 – Fearing they would miss their team plane
home after the marathon series, Daniel Bard serves up a bottom of the
9th , walk off grand slam to Ryan Roberts as the Goofs win 6-2.
DVs 6, Fungoes 1
The DVs spend an evening as they wait on their inevitable
first round playoff loss with a 6-1 beatdown of the formerly playoff bound
Fungoes. There were some games that were closer than the previous 7, and the
Fungoes had horrible rolls and luck with very few BP HR’s even attempted.
The details:
G1 – (first 4 in the DV bandbox) Hardy singles in
the 8th to key a 5-4 win. Fungoes had broke on top 2-0, with the DVs
hitting back to back solo shots to tie it. DVs had taken a 4-2 lead, only for
the Fungoes to hit 2 homers in the 7th to tie it at 4 before Hardy’s
heroics.
G2- DVs hit 7 solo homers in a 8-5 win. Stanton
and Trumbo were heard after the game bitching about the lack of runners on base
keeping their RBI totals down.
G3 – Hardy and McCann (and maybe a few others)
hit home runs in a 8-1 DV win
G4 – DVs complete the sweep with a 15-2 win
Last 3 are September games from WTF
Fungoe-land
G5 – Holliday homers in the 10th off
Papelbon in a 3-2 DV win. Fungoes had rallied in the 9th to tie it,
only to see Papelbon’s first appearance in the series dashed.
G6 – Fungoes get off the deck with an Orlando
Hudson grand slam walk off in the 10th in a 7-3 win
G7 – DVs ride Halladay and 3 relievers to a 5-0
win

Is it possible that it was SEVENTEEN years ago that Cal Ripken broke Gehrig's consecutive game mark?

Wahoos 3, Tweeners 0
Game 1: Wahoos win, 2-1. All
the runs were scored in the 3rd inning. Jimmy Rollins had a 2-run homer. Wade
Davis went all the way while scattering 8 singles. Daniel Hudson was the tough
luck loser.
Game 2: Wahoos win, 8-7. Bumgarner was wild and ineffective. Wahoos scored
5 in the third but had to get a little lucky to hang on after giving up 15 hits
to the Tweeners.
Game 3: Randy Wolf pitches a masterpiece. Wahoos win, 5-0. Wolf allowed
four hits. Gio Gonzalez walked
8 in his 7 innings.

Miracle Healing in Cleveland
Jurickson Profar, the 19-year-old prodigy who was recently called up replaces Kinsler in the lineup and homers on his initial MLB at bat.
Ian Kinsler: Hey, Wash. I'm feeling better.
Profar then doubles on his next at bat.
Ian Kinsler: Hey, Wash. Full recovery. I'm ready to go. Put me in, coach.
