Cary Opens Wide Lead in OL G358
 

The Southpaws have separated themselves from the tightly packed group of seven chasers trying to keep streaking top dog in sight.

I see OL has welcomed back Coney Island with open arms. At least my Rebels are keeping the Warriors out of the basement. With 13 games left vs. Cary I am not optimistic that things are going to get better this week. This is all too familiar a theme, 10-22 vs OL teams 28-20 vs the rest.

The Warriors sold off all but one of their remaining cards and hit pay dirt selling Johnny Damon 99K because he is part of a FOTF mission. With the other 3 diamonds I sold I am just short of 160K. It will be time to hit the AH Sunday and find a way to generate a little more offense.

K-Town edges in front in OL B231
 

K-Town has pushed into the lead by a slim margin over a surging Cochise County. The Sidewinders used a 4-game sweep of Vlora to slither into second place. The division rivals meet six more times this season.

Overall, the best team in all the land is Hooterville, currently 22 games over .500 and atop the AC Central. They are the only OL team in playoff contention. On the other end, it has been anything but Shangri-La for the Dragons, who carry the league's worst overall record and most certainly will be relegated at season's end.

(Shangri-La appears to be unmanaged at the moment, with no LF in the lineup.)

Guess who just pulled a perfect Yaz out of a pack?

ME!

Finally got a perfect that isn't a 2020 card!

Brooklyn Sweeps tp Front in OL S317
 

The Pimp Ministers swept through Terra Incognita and Ciudad Trujillo en route to taking the lead in silver.

No team currently faces relegation.

Cary Holds Slimmest of Leads in OL G358
 

The Southpaws own the top spot by .001, thanks in large part to their 3-0 record against second place Waffletown.

Vlora vaults to the top of OL B231
 

Vlora jumped to the top of the standings with a solid month of play. Only a 3-game sweep at the hands of Ft. Huachuca prevented the White Stallions from distancing themselves from second place K-Town.

Hooterville remains the only OL team in a playoff spot, though Cochise County has closed to within two games of the NC West lead.

Waffletown Now Ahead in OL G358
 

The Syrups raced to the lead in what has become a three-way race with Brooklyn and Cary. Those further off the pace would need a near flawless final month to keep their dim hopes alive.

Rustlers Rise to Top in OL S317
 

Terra Incognita put a small slice of daylight between themselves and their two main challenger - Brooklyn and Asylum.

K-Town builds a lead in B231
 

K-Town holds a 4-game lead over second place Vlora, but there is a lot of action still remaining in OL B231. The club with the best chance of overtaking the Rock Piles might also be one of the most overlooked, as it currently sits mid-pack. That's the team from Hooterville. If the Haymakers can manage to sweep their 3-game set with Ft. Huachuca, they would take a commanding percentage points lead. The two teams have not met yet this season, but the Haymakers are the AC's best team, while the Buffalo Soldiers sit last in the NC Central.

K-Town holds a unique position -- leading the OL; 3 games out of a relegation spot; 1 game from leading their division.

Rustlers Hold On to Win OL S317
 

Terra Incognita posted a solid 6-4 record in the final month to hold off Brooklyn and Asylum, which each played .500 ball down the stretch. In fact, that allowed a Death Valley mini-streak to gain the Devils a third place finish.


The PT playoff tree and relegation standings are attached.

Southpaws Streak to Title in OL G358
 

With two separate streaks of six and seven games, Cary posted a 14-3 record in the final month to to vault to the top of OL gold. While Brooklyn went 5-2, Waffletown faded down the stretch, with a 2-4 record to fall to third.


The PT playoff tree and relegation table are attached.

Southpaws Celebrate
 

Congratulations!

Rustlers Corral Crown
 

Congratulations!

Playoff and Relegation Outlook

Otherwise, here's the outlook for PT playoffs and relegations:


St222 - Chicago Clubbers in playoffs

S256 - Hartford in, Transylvania down to bronze
D362 - Laramie, Palolo, Kansas in, Shinbone down to gold


S317 and G358 already posted.

Vlora captures OL B231 Flag
 

Vlora's White Stallions galloped to a title in OL B231, overcoming close challengers Cochise County and K-Town.

Hooterville will be the only team representing OL in the playoffs. Vlora lost game 164! to lose out on the last NC playoff spot.

Meanwhile, as noted elsewhere, Ring Road, Shangri-La, and Ft. Huachuca will return to Iron.

up-n-down season in Waffletown, so not too surprising they folded down the stretch....

good luck to all in the playoffs... heading back in time again to watch V20 Syrups (120-42 season) for another run at a 3rd Perfect tier title

Vlora Victorious
 

Congratulations!

D362 Standings
 

Congratulations to the Palolo Puppies, winners of the OL Diamond League this season!

Palolo is joined by Kansas and Laramie in the PT playoffs ... good luck to all! Shinbone is unfortunately being relegated.

EDIT: Sorry ... Hidden Valley was actually 9-9 for a .500 record. I forgot to put in their 2 wins vs. Shinbone. Everything else is correct

usual end of season reminder...

check those friend's lists and make sure teams moving into your tier are checked off... if you're in Diamond, be sure to add the Flatbush Red Hooks this time (joined late in the evening last Sunday, so missed the league this week)... edit: Flatbush moving to Gold, so update as needed there (Waffletown's friends list checked and updated for Gold accordingly)

Puppie Pace OL Diamond
 

Congratulations!

If I have to reinstall the game tonight to get the Iron standings for you guys, I will. Hopefully someone will do it before I do.

Second place is first loser.
 

Two second-place finishes. Chasing that OL title feeling again, yet unsatisfied this week. Congrats to the winners.

Reminder
 

As noted above, please add 333forjg (relegated to Gold) to your lists this week please. Thanks!

Quick Update
 

I might not be able to check in for a couple of hours or more, so I figured I'd do a quick perusal of PT. The results thereof:


St222- Chicago Clubbers are eliminated, but should be promoted based on their record. Those in Iron, please be sure to add them.

I263 - Illawarra Flame are still alive and going up to bronze, so please add them.

I284 - All OL teams eliminated, but it looks like Otonokizaka will be going up to bronze, based on their record.


B231 - Hooterville still alive and will be going up to silver.


S256 - Hartford still alive and will be going up to gold.


S317 - All OL teams eliminated, but Brooklyn will be going up to gold, based on their record.


G358 - Highland still alive and will going up to diamond.


D362 - No new playoff results have been posted to the site available from the universe tab.


Still waiting on Iron standings. Please pay heed to what Jason wrote and update your friends list. And submit.

Hooterville hanging in there
 

Hooterville is representing OL in the B231 Bronze Level Series. Tied 1-1 in the series, Hooterville just got no-hit by Mike Soroka and the Concord Diablos, to fall behind in the series. Soroka was one walk away from a perfect game, using 7 strikeouts and 95 pitches to subdue the Haymakers.

Classic 1-3 comeback for Haymakers
 

Hooterville came back from the classic 3-1 deficit to win the Bronze League Series. After getting no-hit in Game 3, the Haymakers dropped an 18-inning marathon to go down 3-1. Hooterville coughed up the lead twice in extras in that one. Hooterville advances to Silver.

As the only OL team in Iron 263, I managed a 112-50 record this season and finished as a World Series runner up, losing in 6 games.

Heading to Bronze next week, anyone else in Bronze please add ProfScoobs.

I will have final results for I284 at some point tonight, having a lot of trouble with the math and getting everything added properly.

All the data, however, points to Sierra Vista winning the crown.

EDIT: My data is completely wrong. I am retracting my projection of Sierra Vista winning the crown. Full standings up momentarily in the next post.

As promised, Iron 284 results. Imagine my surprise when I finally did the math properly and Asheboro wound up the winner.

Crown'em, Kuppo.:p

CORRECTION: Cat Town's record in OL play should be 21-18, not 23-18. I did a derp.

Road Dogs Rule OL Iron
 

Congratulations!

Hooterville Best in PT Bronze
 

Congratulations! It seems the Haymakers are the only OL team to take PT honors this week.


By the way, I can't find anything for diamond. The universe tab still has no playoff results at all. As far as I can tell, Laramie, Palolo, and Kansas made the playoffs. Perhaps someone from diamond can update.

The Wrap Up
 

Went with Dodger Stadium to salute the MLB champs. Congrats on a good week, but let's be diligent and not miss anyone this week.

Jefferson Valley and Coney Island have updated their friends list.

The Warriors have revamped their lineup. After selling the Damon card earlier in the week I realized I had completed a mission and picked up two diamond packs that yielded a diamond Aaron and Billy Hamilton. I used the points from those three plus selling off anyone who got moved to the reserve roster and invested them in FOTF cards. Not a big fan of the FOTF cards but hard to resist the prices and I am coming near the end of my cycle playing PT.

Good luck to all this week.

First Look
 

Attached are gold and silver lineups. Looking at my friends list, it seems that Ewa Beach got missed in bronze. Everything else seemed right.

looks like the Illwara Flame got missed at Bronze as well.... probably should have been doing this from the start, but I resorted the sheet to group the tiers together to make it a bit easier to see who is in each one...

if everyone gets a chance this week, double check that you have everyone not only in your tier but the tiers above/below as well and that should cover the pro/rel for next week as well

Iron and Bronze
 

More showed up for the Iron party than I expected. We'll see how the schedule shakes out for Bronze. Hopefully, everyone will get enough games.

The Syrups led the charge from the gate with Weston Pointe and Cary close behind, while Flatbush (finally in) sought to stay close.

Death Valley Tops OL S252
 

The Devils lead a field that has two teams still on the sidelines. However, both teams will swing into action today and all OL teams will play a sufficient schedule.

Iron & Bronze updates coming Wednesday
 

Schedule disruptions today. Good race in Iron.

Syrups Pouring it On in OL G303

Rustlers Take Slim Lead in OL S252
 

Terra Incognita inched into first as the league schedule became more vigorous and tightly contested. Every team in the league could easily end up on top with a modest run.

Ring Road leads Iron
 

Ring Road, once an SE-loaded Gold team, has taken the relegation to Iron to heart, dominating both OL and non-OL competition in the early going. Fellow relegee, Shangri-La, has also found their bliss in OL I282.

K-Town rocking in Bronze
 

Here's the scoop from OL B321...

Need me to do the Diamond?

That would be great.

Southpaws Stampede to Front in OL G303 Race
 

Cary piicked up their pace to pass Waffletown and Weston Pointe in the three-way fight for supremacy in gold.

Cat Town and Ft. Huachuca put in some good ball to close in on Ring Road in OL I282.

Three-team Race in Bronze
 

Vlora edged in front of K-Town and Transylvania, but even Cochise County has plenty of time to make a run in OL B231. Vlora made their move by taking 5 of 6 games from the Rock Piles and Impalers.
