Week 26 update


A 24-point outing from Marco Estrada and yet another win from Kris Medlen sealed the head-to-head championship for Billy Ashley Wind Generator.

BAWG beat the Misfits 222-186 for the deciding Game 3 victory.

But the competition is not completely over for BAWG and Misfits. The race for second place in the overall standings is still on.

The Misfits hold a four-point edge 4585-4581 with three days left in the season. If the Dodgers and Cardinals tie for the final wild-card spot and need a tiebreaker game, that game is consider a regular-season game and would count toward our titles.

The question for the Misfits is this: With two pitchers throwing on Sunday and two others on Saturday, do they have any more starts coming? However, BAWG had three pitchers throw over the weekend. A fourth, Gio Gonzalez, is not likely to pitch much, if at all, in the season's closing days.

With both teams having exhausted their final moves, these rosters are the ones they'll close the season with. BAWG could get a start from Adam Wainwright, but only if the Cardinals haven't clinched a playoff spot by the final day of the season.

In the week's other game, the Triple-A's easily locked down the consolation championship with a 212-142 win over the Arbitration Losers.

But there is still an interesting battle to avoid the cellar.

Here are the overall standings heading into the final three days of the season.


  1. Fresh Fish (Rick) 4788
  2. Misfits (Reid) 4585
  3. BAWG (Rich-Brian) 4581
  4. Rookies (Henry) 4344
  5. Pitch You Blockhead (Scott) 4236
  6. Hammerin Hank (Pete) 4086
  7. Pickle Bugs (Jon) 4078
  8. Triple-A's (Ken) 4066
  9. Halladay Road (Bill) 4056
  10. Arbitration Losers (Tim) 4055
