| Parity, that's for sure. It looks like there are a lot of championship contenders this year.
Is it reasonable to think that the toughest division will produce the toughest playoff-ready teams...or, is it just a matter of which team is hottest on that weekend?
Which division is tougher?

| It is clear and weird to say but the Gayman division is stronger. The other division only has three teams that are good and the others will be playing in the cony. The hottest team will definitely win the trophy look at the results from last year. The Arms got fortunate in a few games and won. The best team did not win.

| That might be the case, but I doubt that any team wants to play the Arms come playoff weekend.

| Thank You Arms 12! But ya'll look real strong, Real Talk! You hit the nail on the head, to be a Championship team you must play all 7 innings and excel in all facets of the game. Not taking anything away from ya'll but with 7 wins you have not done that!

| The parity is crazy this year Pooch! I wouldn't say there is a stronger division. There are some real strong teams on both sides and it will probably come down to which team gets hot at the right time. It will be fun to watch though.
Don't agree at all with Korky about the arms last year though. I know there is an anti-Arms sentiment out there because of all the chirping, a lot of which is justified but lets not down play their win.
For arguments sake, who was the best team last year Korky? Considering they beat Crupi in the finals by about 20 and probably hit 15 shots.

| Lucky game on Championship weekend? Maybe.
Lucky weekend? Don't think so bud. How can you say that putting up an average of 30+ runs every game be considered lucky. Not to mention the average of 10+ HR's in each of those games. 15 in the championship be considered lucky.
Don't hate, appreciated!
We were the best team in the league last year and when we wanted to turn it on and not choke like everyone expected us to we came through in the clutch. Thats what winners do, thats what champions do.
We had to go through the best teams last year to win!
That my friends is not luck.
Same can be said for the Harding boys a year before. They were the best team and they showed it when it counted, as did we.
There could be a lot of championships in the near future with the names on the cup reading as follows.

| No Bromance Chris. I don't even know which one of the 30 Arms Aliases this is..
Wasn't looking for the compliment coming back. Just don't think you need to be discrediting a teams performance cause you have a hate on for them.

| Ummm, it's going to be a tough game. They're a great bunch of guys, over there, and good ball players too. We're going to take it one play at a time and try our best. We usually play each other hard, and, I think that the team that gets the better bounces will win tonight.
Whew!!...got thru that, unscathed...hopefully!

| I would imaging Pooch is the real Pooch, and not an alias. If this is the case, I would like to commend our pitcher on an excellent year. Pitching into a tornado like wind, no problem. Throwing a funky pitch with two strikes, no problem. Really, the best year I have seen from our senior statesman!

| MAS won 12 games last year. They have won 11 with 3 to go. What a turn around. You got to be kidding me. They will be done by Friday night.

| Simple Question: Why does MAS think they have a shot? How did it work out in previous years ? Makes no sense.

| Simple Answer: Shouldn't every team that it is in the top half of the playoffs think they have a chance to win the championship?
Arms hadn't won prior to last year does that mean they should have had no chance and no reason in believing they could win it last year? Crupi was also in the championship last year and they hadn't won it recently either.
I don't play for MAS but this comment makes no sense in a league that has displayed so much parity this year and over the course of the past 4 years.
Based on your comment you must also think that TL, Kelseys, Summit, Nvision don't have a chance at winning because they haven't won a championship recently.
Teams in this league have shown the ability to turn things around from year to year and there's no reason to believe that the team that wins the championship this year could be a team that has not been great over the last few years.

| Simple answer: why bother playing if you don't think you have a chance? Only people who name themselves FAKE would bother, I guess.

| I love how we get chirped for having team chemistry. Ya we are yappieee and have unreal handshakes that's what ball players do. Ya we pump each others tires but we all laugh about it over the beers in the parking lot. Were in it for a good time, and ya we want to win as well. But when the game is over we all forget about what happened while having a beer in the parking lot. Im glad us losing makes some peoples day. Life of losers I guess...good luck to you all....look out for the red machine.

| Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be. Pooch was correct.
