Baseball Standings

With around two weeks left in the season, it's probably time to examine the pennant races. We'll start out in the exciting West of the Inferior circuit.

My Snakes are all on the plane and looking dangerous at this point, holding a narrow 1 game lead on the Priests with the former Brooklynites on the outside looking in 4 behind. Although 5 games over .500 the Stones are 6 back and we can safely ignore the Midgets and the home run king - they're 16 1/2 out.

In another exciting race, the Little Bears have another slender 1 game lead over the Barley Pops. The Redbirds have faded to 8 back, and the original Red Stockings, Corsairs and Asteroids are all 10+ games out and waiting for next spring.

Over in the east, the Stupids hold a 2 1/2 game lead over the Quakers and the Angry Natives are 6 1/2 back. The Senators and the Fish continure to duke it out for the #1 pick, 16 1/2 and 18 1/2 out respectively, although the they have some competition from the bottom feeders in the Central and the usual AL suspects.

Over in the Superior circuit, the Halos continue to rule the roost in the West, with Team Starbucks 5 back. Team Green and the Lawmen are 15 and 18 back, although neither are threatening to get the top pick.

Over in the Central, Chief Wahoo's outfit has broken open a close race, climbing to a 7 game lead over the Kittens. The Spongecakes are 15 back and it only gets worse for the White Hosiery and the Peasants, both of whom are in the running for the top draft pick at 23 and 23 1/2 out.

In the East, the Evil Ones have had their lead narrowed to 3 1/2 over the Coolest Team Ever. Team Canada is at .500 14 back and the Chesapeakans and the Ugly Fish are also involved in the arm wrestling for the top pick, 25 and 27 back. As of right now, the Uglies would have the top pick yet again.

WC standings have the Priests holding off the Quakers with a game and a half lead and the Cool Ones holding a 3 1/3 game lead over the Tiggers. Brooklyn is 3 out in the NL and Team Starbucks is fading 6 1/2 out in the AL. Yanks schedule looks promising to secure at least a playoff spot with only 2 series against the O's (first one in progress), Jays, & Rays remaining. Evil Ones have Jays (in progress), Rays, A's and Twinkies yet. However, the Yanks are on the road for the last 2 series while the Sox stay at home @ Fenway. Tiggers have 2 more vs. the Tribe, then series against the Royals, Twins, & White Sox.
