Editor's Note: "Deadman Talking" features the unexpurgated views of former Jackrabbit Les Deadman. You'll hear from Les every couple of weeks in this space!











Edmonton - September 29, 2047: Holy moley, what is going on with the Edmonton Jackrabbits? Someone put wood chips in their cereal? Back on September 12, they came back from a two-day break, lost to the Mexico City Aztecs 7-3, and were barely on life support, just four games above .500, and with four or five teams ahead of them in the race for the final Johnson League wildcard.

Then, suddenly, the lights went on for the 'rabbits after that 9/12 defeat. Like the Energizer bunny, the team has proceeded to go 14-1 over its next 15 games.

You heard me -- 14 and 1!

As my papa used to say, mercy me, who put the starch in their pants?

So where does this leave us? Well, it's simple: three teams, the Jackrabbits, the aforementioned Aztecs, and the Crawdads, are battling for two wildcard spots:

So this should be a lot of fun! The Edmonton boys have just three games left, one against the Outlaws, and then on October 1 -- a doubleheader against the loathsome evil Aztecs. And the first game starts at 9am, go figure.

I will not make any predictions. The squad has been very hot, and the odds against them staying this hot are quite slim. But this faithfuls scribe does know one thing -- you faithful Jackrabbits fans are being rewarded with a true race to the finish, and we are certainly back in the thick of things!

The series sweeps of Calgary, Las Vegas and Phoenix were clutch.
