Pennant Race

There is a new leader in the Lachmann Division as Joe has vaulted ahead of John by 2 games heading into the final Friday of the regular season. The winner will take on Avery in the best-of-five Division Playoff Series. If Joe and John finish the regular season tied, they would play a one game head-to-head playoff next Tuesday, August 25. If either of the two wins the division outright, the playoff series with Avery will start on Tuesday.

Jake has clinched the Lopes division and if he can top it off with a 6-0 on Friday he will finish with the best FNFT regular season record ever. Tom has won the wild card with a 102+ win season. The Wild Card Playoff series will start on Tuesday, August 25 (even if the other division winner is not determined yet.) This will be a 4-game series with Jake needing to win two games and Tom neding to win three. Or you can think of it as a traditional best-of-five with Jake having already won game 1 by virtue of having the best record.

The rest of us are mostly just mailing it in from what I can tell. Max has clinched a spot above the Smith line. Tief needs only one win on Friday to do so as well.

I've got a very busy weekend, but I'll try to post as many playoff updates as I can. I'll also get a playoff schedule posted to the home page at some point.
