The second to last week of The Main Event has arrived with the first championship playoff spot having been clinched. Thunder Bay has obtained 285 points and a spot in the playoffs by tying with Ice Kinkajous 5-5. Congratulations to Thunder Bay! In other action, AmIGone dropped their game to the Bombers, allowing Bombers to take the series. Mighty Taco crushed Wicked Pissahs, fatally injuring the Pissahs' chance of making a championship slot. In a rally that has come too late, chiefs devoured DaZ, dropping DaZ into 7th place, out of the championship picture. Taking his place, Mighty Taco moves into 5th, followed by Nocturne's Killers in 6th. Despite Windy City Matrix's rally last week over the struggling Pissahs, the Matrix failed to dazzle this week and still sits in last place. With the minimum for advancing to the championship at 233 points, DaZ is the only team with a chance to break into the top bracket. The most exciting and decisive battle will take place next week between DaZ and Nocturne's Killers (currently 7th and 6th place respectively).
This week sees AmIGone trying to secure a high ranking with a victory over the chiefs, Mighty Taco securing their position by taking on lowly Windy City Matrix, and the Bombers trying to assend the rankings with a victory over Wicked Pissahs. Don't expect any of the lower ranked teams to just roll over and die... vindictive wins now (and the spoiling of a championship run) may be the best medicine for a sour end of the season. The premier matchups this week are for those of Nocturne's Killers and DaZ, who take on Thunder Bay and Ice Kinkajous respectively. Before they square off next week, each will try to exact a win now and claw their way into the championship. Since only 3 points separate the Kinkajous and the Killers, this week is vital!\n\nFinally, consider joining Mike's (Wicked Pissahs) fantasy baseball league. Keep your fantasy chops wet this off-season. Make sure to floss after you brush!

Week 20 has come and gone
Note: This is a copy of the email sent out the the league this week.
Week 20 has come and gone, leaving in its wake 3 vicious slaughters and two games of goaltending embarrassment. AmIGone held out against Mighty Taco by dominating in the skater category while the goaltending points went to the Taco. Similarly, Ice Kinkajous dominated the goaltending while sacrificing a few skating points, leaving him enough to pull out a win. Meanwhile, the Bombers and Thunder Bay proved their dominance by winning in 9 categories each. DaZ have put themselves in a precarious position as they are now only two points ahead of the 7th place Mighty Tacos and a trip to the consolation playoffs. The week's big surprise was Windy City Matrix's blowout win (and season best) over Wicked Pissahs, keeping their hopes alive for breaking out of the lower bracket. Windy City took 9 categories, losing only in goalie wins, proving that good goaltending and winning are not inextricably linked.
This week, AmIGone will face off against the Bombers to settle their series. AmIGone just won the series against Mighty Taco - can they do the same to the Bombers (who just dominated DaZ)? Speaking of Mighty Taco, they take on Wicked Pissahs, who are looking to even up the series before the regular season is over. Who will have what it takes? With only three weeks left, the outcome has serious playoff implications for both teams. DaZ will try to regain their swagger against the resurgent chiefs. Yet another game with playoff implications, DaZ has a tenuous hold on the final position in the championship. After both teams were handed humiliating losses last week, this could be a blood bath! Thunder Bay looks to continue their domination of the Ice Kinkajous to secure their spot in the playoffs. The Kinkajous are in the middle of the championship pack and will be looking to improve their seed in the coming weeks. Finally, Nocturne's Killers and Windy City Matrix face off this week to determine the outcome of their series. Tied at one a piece, Windy City is just coming off of their biggest win of the season - will their momentum continue or was it the final blip before their season petered out?
Don't forget to separate the whites from the colors when washing!

The Final Month
Note: This is a copy of the email sent out to the league this week
This week marks the start of the final month of regular season play and the return of the commissioner's weekly commentary. Due in no part to his team's sudden downturn in the standings, these notes have not come at you for some time. That was merely a coincidence. So, for better or for worse, get ready for this drivel to show up in your email box again. Since we last left the commentary, a major turnaround has been seen in the standings. Long-time leader AmIGone has been moved into second place behind Thunder Bay, trailing by 20 points. 3rd place trails by another 20 points while 3 through 7 are separated by less than 8 points. Mighty Taco, Wicked Pissahs, chiefs, and Windy City Matrix are all sitting below the coveted 6th position (for entrance into the championship playoff), none of them are yet eliminated from contention.
This week sees the final match-up between Mighty Taco and AmIGone, allowing them to break the tie of 1 game a piece. Wicked Pissahs will take on their perennial punching bag Windy City Matrix to try and sweep the series, while DaZ will try to tie up the series with the Bombers. The chiefs will try one last time to best Thunder Bay, hoping that recent changes to their lineup will make the difference. Finally, Nocturne's Killers and Ice Kinkajous will try to settle their match-up also tied at 1 each. Who is ready for the playoffs and who is ready to just sign off? Find out...
