That's the way it should be Paul. Over 20 teams or 1/3 of the league competing for the last few spots. Strategy kicks in here. Winning a division may not be good enough. Every single win counts! No rest for players in the last week to avoid injuries, because every single win counts. Teams are still looking to trade or improve their team because there is plenty of time to still make a move.
I lost a game giving up 10 runs in the 9th. I lost a game when my batter hit into a triple play with the bases loaded in the 9th. I have lost six 1-0 games. Normally, that wouldn't bother me, because HAL is HAL. But, I am buried in the 37th spot still hoping for that 9 game winning streak in EACH league to push me up the ladder. Every win counts so the pressure is on.
That is why this tournament is fun. Most of us are still in it with one month left!
Even Voovits is trying to win that Kevin McReynolds ball in his 80s West division. :roll:
Good luck to all. I'll be posting the "bubble teams" in about 2 weeks.
