EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2008 HUGE sweep of Bored's Oaks. Leaves me six games up in my division with 27 games to go. Right now no other team is further ahead in the playoff chase, even Smues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiebreakers for a 2-way tie are, in order: - Head-to-head record - Run differential - Coin flip Tiebreakers for a 3-way tie are, in order: - Best record vs. teams within division - Run differential - Coin flip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2008 Good,because we might need those for the west. I'm tied with the Ice Hoes, but I think I have more head to head wins after sweeping them the last 2 times. EDIT: Yep, 14-7. Only JHawk has a better record than me, head to head, but he's 13-5, so hopefully he doesn't tie me. I have to play him in 6 of the final 12 games.

Bored 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2008 They probably couldn't put in the programming for the simulation to take into account an extra regular season game. And for those with playoff aspirations (not me), the playoffs will be simulated two games at a time. I was kinda hoping it'd be one game a day to build up some drama but at least they won't be simulating each series in one day. Semis are best of five and finals are best of seven.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2008 It stinks when your team is 4 games over .500 at home and 24 games under .500 on the road. The only drama now is whether or not they'll score 28 runs in the final 12 games to get 600. Worst offense ever. Oh, and Valenzuela will probably be a few IP short of 300 by the end of the season..

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2008 JHawk takes 2 of 3 from me, so it's me and JHawk/Hellraisers tied at 1 game back of Smues' Ice Hoes with me having 3 left against the Ice Hoes and the Hellraisers playing their final 3 vs. the Woodside Clippers. My chances are not looking good, despite my good record against the Ice Hoes. WHoever finishes in 3rd in the West is guaranteed no worse than a tie for 3rd best record in the league, but will not make the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2008 Handicapping the final series. CENTRAL: Montreal has a one game lead with three left. The head-to-head is tied, so the second tiebreaker is run differential. Montreal is +19, St. Paul is +9. St. Paul will almost certainly need to overtake Montreal by two games to win. WEST: Anchorage has a one game lead on both Moreno Valley and Ohio. The Ohio Hellraisers have both the head-to-head and vs. division tiebreakers locked up, so they just need to tie someone to advance. Whoever wins the Anchorage/Moreno Valley series will guarantee a playoff spot. The Ohio Hellraisers need to win two of three to guarantee a playoff spot. Ohio holds all the tiebreakers, while Anchorage has lost the season series to both Ohio and Moreno Valley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smues Report post Posted May 11, 2008 Huzzah backing into the playoffs hard core. I'm sure my 2nd half record was like 20-55 or something god awful. I can't believe I still finished with the best record in the league without ever making a move outside of 2 preseason pickups. I fully expect to get swept out of the first round, and what the crap is with playing a team in my own division, who had the 2nd best overall record when I'm the 1 seed? WEAK. I'm guessing it's because they defaulted the wildcard to the #4 seed, but still, WEAK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 Playoffs kicked off last night. Took my first two games, both on walk-off victories. Won game one with a walkoff single after Kent Tekulve lost the lead in the top of the inning. Game two saw Jose Cruz hit a grand slam in the ninth to win 9-8! Now it's off to Olympic Stadium for games three and four. Now I just need to figure out why my Yankee Stadium playoff games are only drawing 27000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
