Feature: Pam's Picks
Opening day is here, and the illustrious assaultron, P.A.M., has made her picks. Based on her selections shown below, PAM has picked the County Crossing Bloodbugs to defeat the Jamaica Plain Red Rockets for the Sole Survivor Series.
Based on her predictions, the following teams will be in the playoffs:
North Charles Association
1. County Crossing
2. Concord
3. Nordhagen Beach
4. Fort Hagen
5. Starlight
PAM expects the County Crossing Bloodbugs to slip past two-time defending North Charles Association champions, the Nordhagen Beach Party Boys, by one game. Concord, which won the Institute League just two seasons ago, is expected to outpace both the Fort Hagen Silver Shroud and the Starlight Lady Killers for supremacy in the league in 2303.
PAM repeats her 2032 picks for the top hitter and pitcher in the NCA, again both Party Boys in RF Jonathan Angelou and SP Beachboy Nut, respectively. Behind Angelou, Starlight's 1B Zeldolph Violet, Concord's 1B Dusty Brownell, and Boys' LF Michael Fogcrawler are expected to compete. The Bugs' Whip Lashley, Nordhagen Beach's Chet Arthur, and Fort Hagen's Mike Cartrette are expected to be other top pitchers.
South Charles Association
1. Jamaica Point
2. Roxbury
3. University Point
4. Atom
5. Diamond City
PAM repeats her prediction that 2302 #1 seed, the Jamaica Plain Red Rockets, will make the jump to the top in the South Charles Association, slightly edging out University Point for the Minutemen League crown and #1 seed. Roxbury is expected to overtake Diamond City for supremacy in the Railroad League.
At the bottom, the Warwick Mirelurks are expected to be by far the worst team in the CBO. Among rumors of owner Roger Warwick losing interest in owning the team, that could be a problem for Commissioner Nate Howard.
Like in 2302, the Deathclaws' 1B Barker Cocoa is PAM's choice to run away with the Nuka-Hitter Award in the South Charles Association. Other batters expected to contend are Vault 81's 2B Harry Byrd and 1B Chase Doctorman and Roxbury's Young Goodman.
PAM's pick for the Vim! Pitcher Award is the Red Rockets' Chris Teddybear who has always been excellent when healthy. Eugene Gym of Roxbury, Jamaica Plain's Chris Deathclaw, and the Rad Sox's Nuke Laloosh are expected to all contend for the top two pitching staffs in the SCA.
