The Campos War
With the FPBL All-Star teams set to be announced next week, I thought now might be a good time to point out the interesting inter division rival between a couple related foes in our league. I'm obviously talking about the Campos boys who put on one hell of a show last week. When last I checked on Sunday, Doug was leading Dave by 5 points. But when I woke up on Monday, Dave had overtaken his brother and found a way to pull out a tight victory. Amazing. Division rivalry is one thing, but sibling rivalry tops all (trust me, I know)! The much improved YourMom gave Chippy all they could handle, and while they look to be out on the division they have given themselves a solid shot at a playoff birth. With us now entering the last divisional round of the regular season, the end is in sight. These next four weeks should set up for an amazing final divisional round to determine playoff participants!
Remember the dates

Rehab Assignments
Hey everyone, just a reminder/clarification on rehab assignments and allowing teams to demote players to the farm upon a MLB player going on a rehab. Technically speaking, because a MLB player (who is out of options) does not pass through waivers he is not demoted as per the MLB rules. Because of this we do not consider a player on rehab to be demoted and that player is not required or allowed to be demoted because of the rehab. I'm pretty sure this has been the policy from the start, but I know that it has at least been the policy since I started to help LM this league, just so everyone knows.
Week thirteen trophies are up. Don't walk under any ladders with black cats this week!
