Week 23 report
Chico's Chuggers moved one win away from claiming the head-to-head championship, and sending the Misfits to a second runner-up finish. And pitching is setting up nicely to put the Chuggers in position to seal that win. Meanwhile, the Fresh Fish bounced back from a dismal Week 22 with a solid Week 23 and a win in the third-place match. WWJB has to deal with the frustration of losing despite having the second-best week in the league. There were a lot of emergency pitchers pulled into action last week, so make sure you've got yourself covered in that department.
