Sunday's report

The FBLG enters the All-Star break with a glimmer of hope for the nine owners in pursuit of the Fresh Fish. The Fish lost Giancarlo Stanton for 4-6 weeks, and they didn't have a dominant pitching week. Still, they posted 186 points on the week and another weekly win, clinching the No. 1 seed to the head-to-head playoffs with a 13-1 record.

With a 343-point overall lead, the Fish can afford to lose steam over the next four weeks. But if Stanton can return by the time the head-to-head playoffs begin, that will make a formidable form even stronger.

Week 13 report

Another week, and the Fresh Fish clinch something else. This week, the Fish basically clinched the No. 1 seed to the head-to-head playoffs. The Fish won to improve to 12-1 and the Misfits, Rookies and Halladay Road all lost, falling to 7-6. The Misfits had the worst of it, scoring a nice week of 213 -- only to lose by 3 points. And the Arbitration Losers, after 12 weeks in the cellar, finally broke into ninth place, thanks to a 92-point week by the Triple-A's.

Sunday's report

Another week, another time we're talking about a record or near-record by the Fresh Fish.

This time, the Fish went out and posted an obscene week of 292 points. The FBLG record for points in a week is 298. If R.A. Dickey had posted a win on Sunday, that might have done it.

Still, the Fish scored more than twice the weekly total of five of the other nine owners in Week 12, including the second-place Misfits. That pushed the Fish's overall lead to 340 points, and more than 700 over the last-place Arbitration Losers.

Oh, and the Fish pushed their head-to-head record to 11-1, clinching a berth in the playoffs.

Thursday's report

It's official. The season is over.

Well, at least the race for the overall FBLG championship. No team in the 20-year history of the FBLG has ever come back from a deficit of 300 points or more to win the league title.

On Wednesday, the Fresh Fish extended their overall lead over second-place Misfits to 324 points.

If the Fish don't win the FBLG overall title, it will be because of an epic collapse. The Fish lead the third-place Rookies by 418 points.

The only question now seems to be if the Fish will break the FBLG record for the most lopsided overall championship.

But, hey, there's still the head-to-head title to play for.

Sunday's report

Now, every team but one has fallen, at one point this season, more than 300 points behind the front-running Fresh Fish. Since no team in FBLG history has erased a 300-point deficit, it appears up to the Misfits to keep the heat on the Fresh. Oh, and it's June 18. The Misfits enter Week 12 down by 171 points.
