MLB Standings

Well, it's the end of August, and we all know what that means. As the football season starts, the baseball season heats up with pennant fever. Let's take a look at where we are, beginning with the exciting race in the Inferior Circuit West.

My Snakes have a skinny 1 game lead over the Priests, with the Team Orginally From Brooklyn on the outside looking in, but definitely still in it only 4 games back, while the Stones also have a winning record at 68-65. Let's not talk about the Midgets and their Home Run King right now - they're 13 1/2 out.

Over in the Central, the Littel Bears have moved into a 2 1/2 game lead over
the Brew Crew who are slowly releasing the air out of their tires, but they aren't out of it yet even being a game under par. The Redbirds have also snuck into this thing, although they are still 2 games under .500 at 64-66, while the Astrologers and the Corsairs hope the season ends soon both almost 10 out.

The East is also getting interesting, with the Stupid Ones being just that, getting rolled by the Quakers in a four game sweep that left them only two games behind. The Feathered Ones are also hanging around 4 1/2 back, while the Fish and Nats argue about who finished last, both 15 out.

In the Superior League, the Heavenly Host is still rolling with a 5 1/2 game margin on Team Starbucks, and Team Green and the Lawmen are almost out of sight, 14 and 18 back respectively.

The Central has Team Lake Erie leading the the now Sheffless Tiggers by 4 1/2, with the Yellow Spongcakes slipping rapidly despite being a game over .500 at 67-66. The Peasants have revolted and aren't in last for once, the White Stockings hold that distinction and are a whopping 19 1/2 behind.

In the only division that matters, the Nefarious Ones are still on top, but suffered a 3 game sweep and the hands of the Coolest Team In Baseball History, but unfortunately remain a still imposing 5 back. Team Canada is over .500 at 67-66 but trails the Team Ugly by 12. The Birds and the Sea Monsters are over the horizon, both over 20 games out. Birds are racing to the bottom, losing 9 in a row, but I still think Tampa gets the #1 draft pick.

As far as the Wild Cards goes, the Bronx Bombers and the Priests have the spots as of today, but Team Microsoft and the Tiggers are right on the Yanks heels and the Monks have the Quakers, Brooklyn, and some angry Georgians to deal with since they picked up former Lawman Mark Teixeira, which was probably the move of the summer - other than the Yanks calling up some bullpen hlep in the form of former Husker hurler Joba Chamberlain, who's been lights out in the setup role for Mo Rivera.
