Cape Hatteras, N.C. – No one, apparently, wants to win the GL East Coast Division.

Weeks go by, division leaders Brooklyn and New Jersey keep losing or, at best, treading water, and the challengers keep … well, losing or treading water.

This is how, with three weeks left in the season, you have two teams tied for first with 65-61 records, and a pretty woeful team like Carolina limping along at 62-63 … but just 2.5 games out of first.

Come on, people. Someone step up and put this poor division race out of its misery!
