How quickly things can change. On 29 Nov the Blue Party maintained a commanding 20 game lead in the overall standings over the Reds and led all three divisions, conceding only the wild card spot to the Reds in the battle for the post season. But that 20 game lead has dissipated like Dean poll numbers and the surging Red Party has knocked 12 of those games off the board. Blue Party still leads in wins with a 130-122 record.
In the post season race the SpinDoctors (23-19) in the East have won 8 of 10 to maintain Red hold on the wild card spot and the Republicans (24-18 ) have upended the Time Bombers to take over 1st in the Central. The Wobblies (29-13) still rule the East with the best record in the league. The Progressives (24-18 ) have kept a firm hold on the West, but lurking just 3 games back are both the Red Raiders and Beulahs.
Things are starting to get pretty interesting.
PS - And let's not forget Red and Radical, who after a tough start recently won 7 out 10, more than doubling the teams prior win totals and forcing the opposition to take them seriously.
