1st Round!
Congrats to the Speed Demons who on the final week of the season, locked up the 6th and final playoff spot. Tough luck for the Isotopes who went on a crazy run to give themselves a chance to make the playoffs. Unfortunately, they ran into the Monkeys who look like a big time championship favorite right now. Better luck next year guys.
With that we take a quick look at our first round match-ups
#4 2008 World Champions VS #5 Fenway Faithful
The champs of the Vet division take on perennial powerhouse Faithful who are for the first time ever playing a round one match-up. Hamstrung by injury and suspension, Faithful are still very much a championship favorite. Champs will have theis hands full with what should be an exciting 1st round match-up
#3 Seattle MacGruber VS #6 Speed Demons
MacGruber, the champs of the South End Grounds take on the resilient Speed Demons. MacGruber broke through in the division this year unseating the perennial champs Fenway. They have no small task in Demons however, who have been playing de facto playoff games now for weeks just to qualify for the big dance. Should be a real bloodbath, and damn fun to watch!
Roster Freeze Reminder
Just one last reminder that our Playoff Roster Freeze is now in full effect. Just one more note about the Roster Freeze.Please remember that if any playoff team wishes to add a player that team MUST post their roster on the appropriate board on the proboards site. If an add is made from the waiver wire and it is not reflected on the post (or if there is no post)the add will be undone by the LMs and that team will be assessed an illegal add. The thread for this rule can be found here fpbl.proboards.com/thread/158/post-season-rules
Our final trophies of the season have been handed out. Good luck to all of our playoff competitors this week!
