Fantasy League Week 13

[fightonusc]

Poopydicks/Creamy Pirates video is up at the Web site. An entertaining game that may have some playoff implications yet. Box score and recap to come.

And sorry this is dragging out so long. Work has been extra busy, so I've been having to work through my lunch hour (which is usually my time to edit video and upload games).

Game Summary:

The Poopydicks roughed up The Creamy Pirates' relief pitching to pull away with a 26-21 victory on Monday afternoon at Tengen Stadium to keep their playoff hopes alive with one game remaining in the Fantasy RBI Baseball League season.

The Poopydicks (6-7) scored eight times in the eighth and twice in the ninth to rally from a five-run deficit. John Franco picked up the win in relief by throwing two innings of shutout, one-hit baseball. The big three for The Poopydicks delivered, headed by Darrell Evans, who cracked four home runs and drove in seven to pace the offense. Ruppert Jones added three home runs and five RBI, while Chili Davis added a homer while driving in four.

Dale Murphy and Cal Ripken each drove in five for The Creamy Pirates (4-9), with Murphy adding two home runs. With the loss, the Creamy Pirates were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

I feel bad for you USC, spent so much time doing everything for the league, but you own team just wasn't so good, at least no one will question whether or not outcomes were fixed 

[fightonusc]

Yeah, if I would have finished undefeated, I think some eyebrows would have been raised. Oh well, at least I can enjoy the playoffs as an impartial observer...

Video of Da ShitPaws/Fighting Tony Danzas game is up at the site. Recap and box to follow. Certainly, for The OC, The Poopydicks and BeefMaster, this game is of great importance in the playoff chase...

[fightonusc]

Game Summary:

The Fighting Tony Danzas embraced the role of spoiler on Monday night, shocking Da ShitPaws 13-2 in a five-inning rout at Tengen Stadium to throw the Fantasy RBI Baseball playoff race into chaos with one game remaining.

Big offensive games by Kirk Gibson and Craig Reynolds gave Fighting Tony Danzas (4-9) pitcher Roger Clemens all the run support he needed. Clemens gave up two runs on  four hits over four innings, while Jack Morris pitched a scoreless fifth. Offensively, Gibson and Reynolds each hit three-run home runs as part of the Fighting Tony Danza's game-ending eight run fifth inning.

Meanwhile, Da ShitPaws could not get on track offensively. The lone bright spot was Terry Pendleton's solo home run in the second inning. With the loss, Da ShitPaws fell into a three-way tie for the fourth and final playoff spot with BeefMaster and The Poopydicks. All three team trail third place The OC by one game.

The Poopydicks are gonna come in the back door...

[fightonusc]

Right now, that's how it's going to need to be. Crunching some numbers, here's what I've come up with...

- I believe that I can say that The OC has clinched a playoff spot - based on head-to-head play as the first tiebreaker and run differential as the second tiebreaker, even if they lose next week, they still would hold enough tiebreakers against any other team thanks to their large RD to go through.

- If BeefMaster wins, they'll get the other playoff spot (by virtue of having swept the season series over you and having a much better RD than Da ShitPaws).

- If BeefMaster loses, it gets interesting. The Poopydicks would advance with a victory regardless of what Da ShitPaws do (again, thanks to The Poopydick's season sweep of Da ShitPaws).

- The only way that I see Da ShitPaws advancing is if they win, and both The Poopydicks and BeefMaster loses (since they would lose a tiebreaker against either team).

Updated stats are available from the Fantasy RBI Web site. Study hard, because after the last regular season games (this week), voting for MVP, All-League and Cy Young will take place.

Note, you mistakenly have Canseco listed with 10 SB.
