Quiet trade deadline; continued solid play from Carolina's offense. In my wildest dreams I never figured to finish first in offense, and that seems to be what's happening.

[njherdfan]

4-4 sim, not particularly good. Now we have to hope we can go on a run to get close to Buffalo

[aaronweiner]

Definitely a two-team race though. Unlike the JL, where if Halifax falls off at all there are four more teams to take them down.

[mrbornac]

Extensions OK

[mrbornac]

The magic we had in the original 2017 season is just escaping us so far this time around. Can we stick around and make it to the post season? It looks like a battle ahead of us now.

[7teen]

4-5 sim for Madison but still holding on to the best record in the league. Not a lot of tension right now for us. With 46 games left, a .500 finish would require Omaha to go 35-10 to tie us. May be about time to just make sure no one major gets injured.

[aaronweiner]

Facing the same sort of situation. 22-23 for the rest of the way would require Seattle to go 32-14. Not impossible, but looks like I might make it.

[felipe]

best pythag in the league gets us only a one game lead in the div (should be a healthy 12 games)

Will 2016 repeat itself with an undeserving Halifax squad getting lucky again???!!!

[aaronweiner]

Well, if it makes you feel better, you're also four games up in the wild card race. So there's that.

[mrbornac]

Who has time for a family reunion in the middle of the season?

Monday, August 7th, 2017
Marquette Suns: C Santiago Romero was injured while lawn bowling at a family reunion. The Diagnosis: mild shoulder inflammation. He's expected to miss about one week.

[mrbornac]

The answer to that question is a 16 year old rookie who is listed on the big league team. Odd thing is he is from Panama. So did he fly home for the reunion, only to get hurt lawn bowling?

[felipe]

wild card...bah! First loser...

[7teen]

wild card...bah! First loser...

Or in the case of the SF Giants or Kansas City Royals... CHAMPIONS
