1 down,2 to go. Err plus one
One out of 3 remaining division games down, and things are starting to come into focus. Here's an updated playoff look
In the playoffs
Fenway Faithful: Fenways has locked up a ticket to the post season. He needs to finish at least tied with MacGruber! to clinch the division.
Seattle MacGruber!: MacGruber! has clinched a playoff spot. He needs to finish with a better record than Fenway to win the division.
Running Riot: Riot has clinched the Doubleday Field Division. He is currently in the 2nd seed and needs 2 wins to guarantee a buy and at least the 2nd seed. He can still finish first if he ends the season with more wins than Faithful and MacGruber!
Chippy's Monkeys: With 13 wins, Chippy clinched the Three Rivers Stadium Division. He is still able to finish as high as 1, assuming he ends with more wins than Fenway, Riot and Macgruber!
2008 World Champs: With 12 wins, Champs are tied with the lead in the Vet Stadium Division. Champs needs one win to clinch a playoff spot and end up at least tied or better than Speed Demons to clinch the division.
Speed Demons: With 12 wins, Demons are tied in the Vet stadium division. Demons need 1 win to clinch a playoff spot, and to finish at least tied or better than Champs to win the division.
Springfield Isotopes: With 10 wins the Isotopes are alive, but fading fast. They need to win out, and have Champs win no more than 1 and Demons win no more than 2 games the rest of the way to stay alive in the division. Isotopes would also have to finish at least tied with one of Demons or Champs and have beaten at least one of Champs or Demons this final time round to stay alive in the wildcard race.
Eliminated
The Beanbaggers: Lost to Speed Demons last week. (With 8 wins, Baggers are on life support. They are still alive, but just barely. Baggers need need to have one of Champs or Demons lose out, and have the Topes win no more than 1 game to make the playoffs. A single win by Champs and Demons will eliminate Baggers from the playoffs.)
Your Mom: Chippy won last week (With 8 wins, Your Mom is clinging to their playoff lives. Mom needs to win out and have Chippy lose out to make the playoffs. A single Chippy win eliminates Your Mom.)
This week's trophies are up. Enjoy the wild ride this week!
