Jerusalem Captures Wild Card
Jerusalem Hebrew Hammers manager Denny Dooley grinned ear-to-ear as his team celebrated a wild card berth.

"No matter how you do it, you always want to get to the playoffs, so we're proud of our season so far," he said.

For his part, starting pitcher José Villarreal warned other teams that they shouldn't take his squad lightly as they go for the franchise's 3rd Round 2.

"Don't underestimate us, we can be dangerous if we get rolling," he said.

Dang! One win away from not having 100 losses on the season. Oh well, there's always next season.

[Lane]

Congrats to the playoff teams! Look forward to joining you next year.

[HoosierVic]

The Vegas oddsmakers have to look at that Chicago/Yellow Springs matchup and collapse in a fit of giggles … the Sox season record against YS: 3-11.

I was looking at my pitching staff trying to figure out who should start Game 4 … do I go with Bates or Moelling on 3 days rest, or do I trust Gonzales to make a start? … and then I thought, "What in the hell am I doing? There's not going to be a Game 4. Quit screwing around and take the dog for a walk."

[DugoutDesperado]

Congrats to the teams that are moving on and good luck.

5-0 last sim to sneak into the playoffs. What the hell is happening right now?

Is the html using umeba ratings? Its showing quite a few bumps to say the least.

Thrilled to win the division and get a first round bye. Not thrilled to lose our starting shortstop for the duration of the playoffs. Time for Dick Walton to step it up.

Is the html using umeba ratings? Its showing quite a few bumps to say the least.

Over on Slack (don't start now, Alan!) it was determined that it might be a StatsPlus glitch, as in-game hasn't shown the same bumps. Feel free to blame it on Mexico City though...rain water probably leaked into the servers and caused an electrical short of some sort.

Here's the foolproof HoosierVic test … sorta like the Turing test to determine if someone is human or AI: How do you feel about Vic Damone?
