LEAGUE POWER POINTS THROUGH 69 GAMES

2) Richmond Braves XVIII 40
3) Skantown Snubbers 33
4) Watership Down Owlsa 32
4) Up Close Personals 32
6) Ottawa Mavericks 30
7) West Seneca Astros 26
8) Epoufette Emus 21
9) City Island Decibels 20
10) Vanc Vaders 16
11) Keystone Ponderers 13
12) Backroom Bobbleheads 12
THE EAST
Given the fact that the Decibels have been unable to win on the road, they will need to win some games at home to have a shot at the division title. The Snubbers are hanging tough and look like a superior team that could win the East. The Emus are hanging tough but are over achievers.
THE CENTRAL
The Braves should win the division. It is a question by how much a margin. The Astros have excellent pitching but a suspect offense could make a difference whether they contend for a playoff berth or not. The Vaders and the Ponderers look weak but both teams will try and play the spolier against any contending team.
THE WEST
As predicted, this is a tough division with little separating opponents who must square off 30 times against each other during the season. The Strawberries are the best team rated in the league. I was wrong in judging their starting pitching. Matt Morris is a stud in 2001? He was avoided like the plague and pitched like the plague until now. The Owsla got off to a slow start but have picked up the pace. This is such a good race. All four teams are over .500. This will go down to the wire. The Mavericks and the Personals can't be counted out either.

You are dead on in how tight & competitive the West is being JKolak!
I hope the WC comes out of our division - and I hope it is me (unless I win the division). Although I know your prediction doesnt have that occuring. :(

THE EAST
The only thing that will stop the Skantown Snubbers from running away with the division is the fact that this team has the worst Coors bullpen I have ever laid eyes on in my 100 2001 leagues. The Snubbers have a solid offense to compensate. Bobby Witt is a 10 and 4 starter!!! Is HAL drunk or what! The Decibels are starting to hit and starting to win at home. Magic Alexx needs a winning streak or else its curtains shortly.
THE CENTRAL
My Braves team plays well road and just over 500 home which is not a good sign for the long-term. However, my team is ranked #1 for offense and #6 for pitching which isn't too bad. The Astros are a spunky team but can't score enough runs. The Vaders and Ponderers give up too many runs period.
THE WEST
The West is the wild, wild West. Its a question of how much each team beats up on each other and how often that will determine the pennant winner and the wild card from this division. An indication of the tightness of the race is that the Strawberries are ranked 4th in offense and 5th in pitching while the Personals are ranked 5th in offense and 4th in pitching. The big rise for the Personals is the fact that this team wins on the road. The fact that each team has a positive run differential is another indicator that this division really has some quality in it and the race will come down to the wire.

I posted this on 6/30...who says if you play 100 2001 leagues that you finally get to be an expert...
[quote:0b9bd3decd]West Division
This division will duke it out and fight it out to the last few series of the season for the most part. Unless of course someone goes waiver wire crazy! More than likely, the wild card team will come from this division.

Last in the West is currently better than 2nd in any other division - but that could change since we have more road games remaining than the other divisions.
Meanwhile I have cut C. Izturis - so as to hopefully increase my bullpen strength.

Jeff,
You had posted your initial concerns about the Strawberry pitching prior to the season start. I then made some adjustments, hoping to improve. You see, people do listen to you. Thanks for the insight.

How about Game II of last nights series against Watership Down!?!
We scored 7 runs on 2 hits! Luckily both of them were HR! :wink:

I am starting to think that I am a little too fond of R. Ortiz. I knew he wasnt the best fit but he always seemed to me to be the type of pitcher who can do well in any sort of slugging park, be it Vet, Enron or Coors. However he has really struggled this time around. Nonetheless I don't think he deserved the shelling he got recently! :shock:
