Great timing Patrick!

Week 21 Quick Stats

Only a few weeks left in the regular season and still lots to be decided.

If the playoffs began today the division winners would be....
Michigan Wolverines - Dimaggio Division (16-4)
The Marauders - Gehrig Division (13-7)
Naked Truth - Ruth Division (12-8) Holds tiebreaker over Sluggers
The Lumberjacks / Holdouts - Mantle Division (12-8)
*For the puposes of the rest of this column I will assume that the Lumberjacks are in top spot in their division as head to head the teams are 1-1 but the Jacks have a better divisional record. Someone please correct me but I haven't found the tiebreaker thread yet.

This week will make or possibly break the Marauders season - good luck Nat where ever you are (even though I don't really mean it).

[Yankchic22]

I have 8 starts this week, and I fully intend on WINNING!

[Hitman23]

The Ice and the Empire will surely have the most exciting game this week. I'm sure you all will be watching with bells on.

[Soriambi]

Newsletter will be up in the next few days. Sorry there wasn't one last week-busy week.

[Yanksagain]

The Jacks are going down this week. Lowry got the ball rollin' last night.

I am the spoiler!!! You do NOT want to face me.

[Hitman23]

Lowry got the ball rollin' last night.

I have Lowry in one of my other leagues where CG and shutouts are categories. I got screwed on both. 8 2/3 innings. pffff

Don't managers think of the fantasy people before they make rash decisions!?!?

[JDPNYY]

You're opponent has 5 starts this week. You should win.

Good Luck!

You read my mind. I am sure everyone is very interesting in our drafting position for next year.

Is it tonight yet?

[yankeesrule2000]

Come on Come on! I can still win...If i can beat Pete this week, and the last week of the season i play Brian...I just need some help, i can still win this thing!

[PinstripePride]

Gooooooo Jacks!

Kill The Kill!

[patrick.o]

Is it tonight yet?

Yes, yes it is! So without further ado, I give you...

The Eliminated List!

14th) Springfield Nuclear Powerplant - (2-18)
13th) Evil Empire - (4-16)
12th) Newburgh Naughties - (5-15)
11th) Ice Cold - (7-13)
10th) New York Squeaks - (9-11)
9th) The Four Horsemen - (9-11)
8th) Rhode Kill - (9-11)

Nice to see the battle for the 14th draft pick is in full force, as all four of last week's entrants on the list lost their games! This week's newcomers are all 9-11 teams who share a common curse - being crushed by the weight of the evil Points Against Monster. All 3 teams have been facing an average of over 275 points a week, and the Kill had it especially tough, being the 5th highest scoring team and yet joining the others a bit too early in the Loser's Lounge. The Kill and Squeaks can both catch their division leaders, but alas, they would fall to tiebreakers, while the Horsemen are just plain cooked. Welcome to the list, fellas!

On a side note, there are two 10-10 teams I'm calling it a season on. The Lous can actually win both their division and the Wild Card since they are 3 back in both races and own the tiebreakers, but they have a better chance of winning Powerball than of having every single thing break right. And speaking of breaking right, while the Bombers can't win the Wild Card due to a loss to the Ligers, they can still win the division if all three teams in front of them roll over and die. Hear that, Rich? All three teams? Time to adjust the ole signature again, no?

This is by far my favourite column every year - especially since I never show up on it. Thanks Patrick.

[miko]

Just in case anyone wasn't paying attention - the Naughties are still winning their game vs. THE Ligers - I think Randi forgot to post that here this morning.

[miko]

Hey Clive,

I'll trade you the left over clippings from my next haircut for Sammy Sosa?

I know it may have a hard time getting approved but I think we can work something out.

[Stupid Flanders]

Yes, yes it is! So without further ado, I give you...

Story of my season. But, I will make the last 3 weeks of the season a bitch for whoever plays me. Starting with the Jacks.

Jacks down by 46 pts. already.

Freddy G. with a 1-hitter last night.

King Felix up next.

It's a deal.

You'll have to send a limo to pick him up though.

Draft picks for non-playoff teams are determined by points, not record
