Weaver League International

Milan and Bora Bora’s inability to bring home runners means one thing – we’ve got a White Sharks vs Rastas matchup for the Weaver Cup!  The Marauders managed to get 15 men on during Games 5 and 6, but Amity starters Johan Santana and Zack Greinke were both able to work out of their respective jams.  Bora Bora’s hitters did slightly better (or worse, depending on your view) by getting 18 runners on.  Rastas starters Frank McCollum and Daff Lowdermilk, however, got timely outs when needed and clobbered the Weaver Cup repeat hopes of the defending champs.

After 4 games in the books, we’ve got 2 LCS series splits and the makings of an all-time classic Weaver postseason.  In the ILCS, Milan holds a razor-thin edge in run differential (14-13) after the Marauders won Games 1 and 3.  Meanwhile, in an odd coincidence, the BLCS is dead even in all aspects: 2 wins apiece, 8 runs scored for each team.  Will any of these 4 teams step up and win 2 in a row, or will we see 4 fanbases sweating out a dramatic Game 7?

Congratulations to the Milan Marauders, the Bora Bora Surfriders, and the Jamaica Rastas for clinching their respective divisions!  Bora Bora dealt the death blow personally to Hong Kong, taking 2 of 3 games in their head to head matchup.  Milan and Jamaica, on the other hand, cruised to the finish line behind leads that made their titles a virtual certainty.

Congratulations to the Amity White Sharks, your 2037 IL Polanski champions!  Amity held off a strong challenger this season in Chernobyl, and the White Sharks’ “Big 3″ of LHP Johan Santana and RHPs Derek Ballinger and Zack Greinke combined for a total of 55 wins.  With 1 week left to play, White Sharks fans are cheering for Milan in the Lockwood race: Amity went 5-7 against the Marauders head to head this season, but only 3-9 against the Nukes.

Milan’s lead over New York remains at 4.5 games, even after the Marauders were swept three straight by the Nukes to close the week.  New York stumbled against their competition early on in the week, splitting with Cozumel and losing 2 games at home to rival Oakland.  Milan, on the other hand, built up their cushion by sweeping both the Lumberjacks and Panama City.
