9-29

Well, sports fans, you say you wanted some actual competition instead of what happens in PeL? We’ve got it for you today!

Narrow 1/2 game lead, all of our head-to-head games are finished, each of us finishes vs. teams already eliminated. For me: 1 off day, then 3 games to play. The others play four without a rest.

It’s a coin flip. Just glancing over the talent, I’d go with the Hooligans. The Penguins have the easiest schedule, says the WinP’s, and start with the narrow lead. The Kits experienced a horrible September thus far to not have locked it up two weeks ago, but they lead it for most of the season.

We went 16-9 for the month just to reach contention, and I fear we may have used up our luck.

And it’s late and I’m tired and the stress is just too too too much.

Reminder: this is the League with one team that broke .600 and one team that came in under .400. The entire league, entire season is this tight.

9-30, 3 games to play. Cisco Carlos v Shane Bieber @Gulf Igloo. Carlos hammered.

10-1, 2 games to play, division all tied up. Max Scherzer v Hal White @Gulf Igloo. Hooligans being listed first means they get home field for any tiebreaker. Must-win.

10-2, 1 game to play, 1 game lead. Mike Mussina v Van Mungo @Gulf Igloo. Must-win to avoid possible tiebreaker and clinch.

I honestly don’t know what happens in a tie scenario, here. Or worse: 3-way tie. Let’s avoid that, okay Moose?

Nope.

Division tie. Shane Reynolds v Aroldis Chapman for all the marbles. Mr. Commisioner: We’d like to report another instance of Reliever Cheese. Or maybe just an Opener.

Sigh, no confidence in this one.

Oh god, now we have to play a series. My heart.
