So, the playoffs are set.
In the East Regional it will be:
Gerry - MURFIRSTERS (98-64, 1719 pts)
vs.
Dale - MILLER'S MAULERS (91-71, 1622)
vs.
Dale - MILLER'S MAULERS (91-71, 1622)
And in the West Regional it will be:
Jake - WRETCHING WEENERGIES (96-66, 1657)
vs.
Connor - MONONA MERCENARIES (91-71, 1645)
vs.
Connor - MONONA MERCENARIES (91-71, 1645)
Connor has already gotten in some trash talk I see. I'm not sure if that's too wise. Dad's a grizzled vet of FNFT who is only a season removed from stinging back-to-back, 7-game World Series losses. I'm sure he is hungry to get back there for another shot. If he does, it will be the first time that an FNFT owner has taken his team to the Series in 3 out of 4 years since the reign of King Avery - back in the stone ages.
Gerry has drawn for his playoff opponent the only team in the FNFT that has as many Cubs players as he does. Dale and Gerry go into the playoffs with 4 Cubs each. These will be pretty easy games to keep track of.
The top four teams in total team points were the four to make the playoffs. It seems that the 3-division format worked fairly well.
The playoffs start with a single game this coming Friday, August 22. I will be out of town for that game but will do my best to post updates here in the FNFT Blog. Game 2 will be Tuesday, August 26.
Good luck to the four playoff teams. It was an enjoyable regular season.

Comparing my reign to Jake's current run is like comparing the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings to the Chuck Noll Steelers. Ask Fran Tarkington and Jim Kelly if they feel the same as Terry Bradshaw.
You remain as humble as you've ever been
I saw the cub players too, the difference is that, other than Theriot, every Cub player I have is a picher. So Dale better make sure that an opposing ace is not going.
Avery..........Old dogs are better left to die. The "Coach" once said "Those that live in the past are cowards and losers", which one are you. This is a different game and a different era. You can not compare a league with 6 players in it compared to how many we have now. This would be a true sense of your baseball expertise. Much like like you cannot compare eras where the division leader from each league made it to the WS. Be comfortable in your lazy boy to watch the new generation. LOL
