Your Guide to the Thrilling Pee Wee League Finish
Although there are only two games left in the season, Division 2 standings could change radically based on the outcome of these two games. Here is a breakdown of exactly what each team is playing for:
RED: Has already clinched a playoff spot, but a win against MAX will give them the division crown, a first round bye, and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. They will send second starter Josh Fogg to the mound. In five appearances this year, he is 1-1, with 3 quality starts and one complete game.
MAX: Will be eliminated with a loss. Will clinch the number 3 playoff spot with a win over RED and a TEN loss. If they get the win over RED, but TEN also wins, the Maxions will face off against TENin a one game playoff due to a perfectly even tie breaker. Omar Daal, who has been reliable in the second half of the year, will start their final game (5 starts, 1-2 record, 2 QS).
TEN: Is in the same exact situation as the Bombers. A loss means elimination. A win plus a MAX loss gives them the third spot, while a win and a MAX win results in the one game playoff. The team has lost two games in a row, games which GM Emerick Jones called "easy wins transformed into nightmare losses." Jones hands the ball to Kaz Ishii, who in five largely disappointing starts is 1-3 with only 2 quality starts.
MEL: Incredibly, Doctor Vindaloo's squad could still grab the number three spot with a win over the Green Sox and a MAX loss. They would have a similar record as the Bombers and Green Sox if this were to happen, but would control the tie breaker over both of them thanks to head-to-head record and division record. A loss results in their immediate elimination. Veteran and long time Marauder Josh Beckett 03 will take on the very dangerous Green Sox offense. In five starts, Beckett is only 1-3 with three quality starts, but is admittedly better than that might lead one to believe.
Z-Slayers GM Implicated in "Mister B" Plot; Makes Strange Comments
A leaked police report shows that several calls on murderer Tomo Ohka's mobile device have been traced back to the Tuldarian Z-Slayers clubhouse of all places. There's no word yet on how this exactly factors into the investigation, but Z-Slayers GM Lord Sinister blasted the accusation as "utterly false" and "slanderous of my team's immaculate reputation." In an open press conference in which all journalists except for John Kruk were invited, Sinister went on to explain that the Tuldarian Z-Slayers were the one and only team in the entire league that did not have any player or coach on the roster whose first or last name started with the letter "B", and therefore it was absurd to even think that someone in his organization had any involvement in the plot. But that's when league luminary Butthead asked a very poignant question: "Uhhhh...uhuh, uhuh...like, why do you even know that?" Butthead's co-host of the Leit'em Up Roster Report, Al Leiter, then rose as well and said "Yes, that is indeed a random fact. What if "Mister B" picked that alias for himself, knowing that would direct the search elsewhere?" There was then a moment of very awkward silence until it was shattered by a furious outburst from Sinister. "LISTEN HERE, IF I WAS GONNA KILL A COACH, IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THAT CHUMP TAKLAMENTE. DON'T YOU THINK I WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF TAKING OUT THAT BOBIAN A**HOLE RONDE BARBER? THERE'S MY ANSWER TO THAT. NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! ALL OF YOU! YOU SO CALLED "SPORTS JOURNALISTS MAKE ME SICK!" And thus ended a very interesting press conference.
Stadium Mania: Report initiates Renovations Across the League
A report commissioned by Red Clay GM Ishmael van Corrin has published the result that a well perceived stadium directly correlates to a team's success on the field. Driving the result were the Spartans of Bobia and the Tuldarian Z-Slayers, whose home field's (Dulcolax Stadium and Sinister Industries Stadium) both received the highest rankings of A+. Aside from commanding scenic views of their respective hometowns, both are world renowned for the variety and sophistication of their dining options. Both are also relatively new builds as well and are number 1 and 2 in the league in terms of crowd capacity. Both stadiums also feature very unique aspects such as a high tech drainage system in Bobia and a Zachrian war memorial in Tuldaria. Other stadiums around the league that scored decently were Melmegetia Municipal Stadium (B+), the South Queynos Grounds of Fate (B), and Beanway Park (B). In light of this report, many other teams launched initiatives to "spruce up" their home fields. The Red Clay Aces, Tenbil Town Green Sox, St. Louis Cardinals, Alyxian Darkpaws, Maxion Bombers and Mao's Tycoons all released statements that they would be looking to rebuild, renovate, or rebrand their home fields. But the big news was that Ishmael von Corrin unveiled plans for a new waterfront stadium in Red Clay, which will be started in the offseason if he can receive proper permits and funding from the city.
