It looks like we could have several playoff races come down to the final
week of our 16th season in the VBL3!
There are 3 certainty's right now. Atlantic City, Honolulu and Sparta will
be in the post-season barring an epic Punxsutawney like collapse. (Sorry
it's too easy sometimes.)
The Beeblebrox division is currently in the hands of the Memphis
Outlaws by 2 games. Memphis however is just 2 games over .500! While the
Punxsutawney Phils are far from out of it, they must overcome a disastrous
9-20 August that allowed Memphis to get back into the race.
The TL Wild-Card appears to be a 2 team race between Kansas City and
Springfield. Both owners have never made the VBL3 post-season. Phoenix and
McCleary are hanging in the background but must overcome a 10+ game
deficit. KC and Springfield are separated by just 1 game in the loss
column.
In the Marvin League, the Arthur Division has been held by Shelby now for
almost a month. Still, Dawsonville & Reading are tied for 3rd place
and are just 6 games back with Bugaboo Creek just 2 behind Shelby. By the
way, Border City has lost 21 in a row. Shelton must love that.
The Zaphod Division is once again the best playoff race in the VBL3, and
possibly the best race in the 16 year history of this league. Four teams
separated by just 2 games, with 2 playoff spots on the line. That's
absolutely ridiculous. New England has won 10 in a row to catch up, and
now it's a sprint to the finish. It is very likely that the 4th place team
would wind up with 95+ wins!
Good luck, and don't forget that rosters lock as of Tuesday at 5pm EST. So
call up players, you have 40 spots. Don't get stuck due to injury!
