ARDTHOMP'S GRANDMA

WE now know that Ardthomps Grand ma is a pistol.After reading the chat post she sent this message to Ardthomp . And I believe its not the last we see of Grandma Ardthomp

Handicapping the Divisional Series

Trying something new here (at least for me, since I think Mad did something a few seasons back), but I figured I'd try and handicap the AL and NL divisional series since I didn't get the chance to do the play-ins (for the record, I was 3-1 in those series...not that anyone can verify it). Anyways, here we go:

AL 1: Portland (4) vs. Helena (1)
After taking down Albuquerque fairly handily, pbsilver and his Pandemonium travel to Helena, home of the defending Wrigleyville world champs. The Moonbats finished 13 games better than Portland and dominated the Pandemonium in the season series, 8-2. No reason to think it's going to change now.
Prediction: Helena in 4 games

AL 2: Memphis (3) vs. Boston (2)
The Knights waited patiently in Boston to see if they would play division foe Indianapolis or AL South champ, Memphis. The Blues answered with a resounding sweep of the Indians. Now the Blues will need to overcome the Knights' supremacy of Memphis in the season series (7-3) for a chance in the AL Championship series. What has two thumbs and thinks it will happen? This guy.
Prediction: Memphis in 5 games

NL 1: Kansas City (4) vs. San Francisco (1)
mark and his Kickapoos have had a little trouble getting out of the NL over the past four seasons. Kinda scary given the 481-167 record he's posted in that time. But record-wise, this is the top team he's had in the Ville, putting up a staggering 131 wins, 8 of which against the Spittoons while owning the season series. Kansas City was able to knock off San Juan in the first round, but don't look for the upset to happen here.
Prediction: San Francisco in 3 games

NL 2: Tucson (6) vs. Syracuse (2)
snowedin must know something the rest of us (outside of mark) don't. How many other owners would be able to sell off five of his top players for prospects and not only make the playoffs, but knock off perennial playoff resident jmas's Stars in the first round? Tucson now looks to spray some Ectoplasm all over the Moose, who won the season series 4-6 while putting up their best record ever. Unless snowed has something else left in the tank, I've got the Moose moving on.
Prediction: Syracuse in 4 games

That means I've got Helena and Memphis in the ALCS and San Francisco and Syracuse in the NLCS.

Power Rankings S11.5

It's time for the final Wrigleyville Power Rankings of the season. All of the playoff contenders have been decided and only the seeding between the two AL Wild Cards remains with one game left.

1. San Francisco
mark's bunch finished in the power rankings in the same spot they probably would have been every edition since season 4. The commish has been that dominant. He'll see either Kansas City or San Juan in the second round.
Record: 131-30
Previous: 1 (0)
Playoff Seed: 1 (NL)

2. Syracuse
The Moose mounted a furious comeback down the stretch and were able to vanquish the Crabbers of San Juan. They will await either the Stars of Tampa or the Ectoplasm of Tucson in the second round.
Record: 107-54
Previous: 3 (+1)
Playoff Seed: 2 (NL)

3. Tampa Bay
jmas's crew quietly put together a 100 win season. The sad thing: it was only the fourth best record in the NL. Ouch. The Ectoplasm is coming to town in round one.
Record: 101-60
Previous: 7 (+4)
Playoff Seed: 3 (NL)

4. San Juan
The Crabbers faultered a bit down the stretch run and were unable to prevent the Moose from obtaining repetitive division supremacy. Kansas City awaits in the first round.
Record: 104-57
Previous: 2 (-2)
Playoff Seed: 5 (NL)

5. Helena
Another year, another division crown. That's five straight for those keeping score at home. sordie will see either Portland or.....whoever comes out as the five seed between the Turkeys and Indians (Thanksgiving anyone?)
Record: 98-63
Previous: 6 (+1)
Playoff Seed: 1 (AL)

6. Kansas City
The Spittoons managed to right the ship a bit down the stretch. They'll be taking on rbedwell and his 104 win Wild Card Crabbers in the first round.
Record: 95-66
Previous: 11 (+5)
Playoff Seed: 4 (NL)

7. Boston
The Knights successfully fended off the Indians for the AL East crown. They're reward is a first round bye and and a second round matchup against Memphis and whoever gets the six seed.
Record: 93-68
Previous: 4 (-3)
Playoff Seed: 2 (AL)

8. Las Vegas
The snakes turned it on a bit late in the season, running off TEN STRAIGHT and obtaining the title of Biggest Mover for this week.
Record: 73-88
Previous: 25 (+17)
Playoff Seed: OUT

9. Memphis
The Blues eventually pulled away from the Justice and locked up the three seed in the AL. They get the last team in, currently slated to be Indianapolis with one game left.
Record: 91-70
Previous: 8 (-1)
Playoff Seed: 3 (AL)

10. Jackson
atprasad's Justice faded at the end and came up ten games short of the division and six short of the Wild Card. Nice charge up the rankings though.
Record: 81-80
Previous: 22 (+12)
Playoff Seed: OUT

11. Portland
The Pandemonium finally slammed the door shut on the Aztecs and locked up the AL North division crown. They'll see the first Wild Card contender, currently set as AL West power Albuquerque.
Record: 84-77
Previous: 17 (+6)
Playoff Seed: 4 (AL)

12. Tucson
The trade deadline firesale didn't derail the Ectoplasm's Wild Card streak (snowedin has now competed as a Wild Card team six straight seasons while going 589-382 in that stretch, eesh). Tampa awaits in the first round.
Record: 85-76
Previous: 15 (+3)
Playoff Seed: 6 (NL)

13. Hartford
The Crushers wrap up an above .500 season in the PM2. Unfortunately, it will be their last game of season 11, as they'll be joining 19 other teams on the couch in Petco Park during the playoffs.
Record: 84-77
Previous: 12 (-1)
Playoff Seed: OUT

14. Indianapolis
In the end, the Indians couldn't catch up to Boston. Consolation prize: Wild Card spot, most likely heading to Memphis for a clash with the Blues.
Record: 87-74
Previous: 10 (-14)
Playoff Seed: *Currently* 6 (AL)

15. Cincinnati
The Howlers had a nice second half and managed to be the highest ranked division cellar dweller in the final standings...which of course amounts to squat.
Record: 78-83
Previous: 18 (+3)
Playoff Seed: OUT

16. Wichita
hoopcoach's squad made a valiant effort attempting to chase down the Ectoplasm but came up just short. Not bad for a first season. My bet is the Wind will be in the mix again next season.
Record: 81-80
Previous: 9 (-7)
Playoff Seed: OUT

17. Albuquerque
Not quite sure what's going on with the Turkeys. They're currently slated as the five seed but don't seem to be playing like a playoff contender. My vague knowledge of the tiebreakers has them winning the five even if Indianapolis catches them, which puts Portland up next.
Record: 88-73
Previous: 5 (-12)
Playoff Seed: *Currently* 5 (AL)

18. Charleston
The Tobacco Farmers made a nice jump in the Rankings to finish out the season, and they only finished 14 out in the division. Not bad.
Record: 77-84
Previous: 23 (+5)
Playoff Seed: OUT

19. New Orleans
The Hip Waders managed to take 3 of 4 against Kansas City before dropping 2 of 3 at Tampa. On to next season for lagzilla and his crew.
Record: 73-88
Previous: 20 (+1)
Playoff Seed: OUT

20. Chicago
Despite Portland giving them every opportunity down the stretch, the Aztecs couldn't quite capitalize. They also missed out on the Wild Card by 7 games. A win in the final game makes this a .500 season...something worth playing for.
Record: 80-81
Previous: 13 (-7)
Playoff Seed: OUT

21. Vancouver
madmuldoon and his Totems thought they could capitalize on sonneboy abandoning his 49ers after last season, maybe they could get up to third in the division. That wunderkind hoopcoach made sure that didn't happen as the Totems finish in a familiar place...the bottom of the West.
Record: 77-84
Previous: 16 (-5)
Playoff Seed: OUT

22. Nashville
The Posse played Memphis close most of the season before fading in the end and winding up in a tie for second with Jackson.
Record: 81-80
Previous: 14 (-8)
Playoff Seed: OUT

23. Seattle
kevin has brought Seattle into second in the NL North, a place never reached by any Seattle sports team since the Seahawks in 06 (disclaimer: may not be 100% accurate).
Record: 71-90
Previous: 19 (-4)
Playoff Seed: OUT

24. Jacksonville
The Manatees have been on vacation for the past month, just laying out on the beach getting a tan. Wait? What do you mean Manatees don't lay out on the beach?
Record: 71-90
Previous: 21 (-3)

25. Milwaukee
The end of season 11 probably couldn't come soon enough for pat and his Sturgeon. Being the North's whipping boy all season isn't all that fun. Trust me, was there my first few seasons back.
Record: 60-101
Previous: 31 (+6)

26. Fargo
The Prairie Dogs are limping to the finish line, out of playoff contention and looking forward to season 12.
Record: 67-94
Previous: 24 (-2)
Playoff Seed: OUT

27. Tacoma
Third in the division is unfamiliar territory for the Toyotas, especially since Sandberg has mostly dominated the North. The revival of the Spittoons and Supersonics came as Tacoma fully committed to its rebuilding project. They'll be back.
Record: 70-91
Previous: 26 (-1)
Playoff Seed: OUT

28. Trenton
boehnerm and his Tripods have actually fared pretty well down the stretch. Unfortunately, if you're not competing for playoff contention, you're usually competing for draft position. And they burned a lot of it by playing well.
Record: 64-97
Previous: 27 (-1)

I hear mdymond special delivered custom playoff viewing couches for all his guests. Should be a blast in the Petco clubhouse.

Power Rankings S11.4

Another edition of the Wrigleyville Power Rankings is up. For some reason, our blog isn't allowing me to post the team headers as usual, but the show must go on. New this week is the magic number so that each team knows where they stand in regards to their division.

1. San Francisco
Any surprise here? Actually, the top three spots from last week remained the same...interesting.
Record: 116-25
Previous: 1 (0)
Magic Number: - (Clinched NL West)

2. San Juan
The Crabbers keep trying to pull away from the Moose but they just can't outrun the state bird of Canada (yeah, that just happened).
Record: 92-49
Previous: 2 (o)
Magic Number: - (Leading NL East)

3. Syracuse
The Moose fell back 2 games recently, but they're still filling up San Juan's rearview mirror in the East.
Record: 90-51
Previous: 3 (0)
Magic Number: 19

4. Boston
The Knights appear to be pulling away from the Indians...extremely slowly
Record: 82-59
Previous: 6 (+2)
Magic Number: - (Leading AL East)

5. Albuquerque
jaredpaventi's crew is creeping up on the reigning world champs, but they might need to pick up the pace with only 21 to go.
Record: 79-62
Previous: 13 (+8)
Magic Number: 16

6. Helena
The Moonbats are trying to shake Albuquerque to no avail. This division battle could go down to the wire.
Record: 84-57
Previous: 7 (+1)
Magic Number: - (Leading AL West)

7. Tampa Bay
jmas and his Stars can start resting up for the playoffs. They're one of only two teams to have clinched a postseason berth, the other obviously being mark's Kickapoos (pretty good company for Tampa).
Record: 86-55
Previous: 8 (+1)
Magic Number: - (Clinched NL South)

8. Memphis
The lead in the AL South has stayed the same since last week for the Blues. I'm sure they'd prefer to extend it out until they can slam the door shut on the Posse.
Record: 82-59
Previous: 5 (-3)
Magic Number: - (Leading AL South)

9. Wichita
The Wind have been red hot the past couple of weeks, overtaking Vancouver last week and clawing their way into the battle for the last playoff spot with division rival, Tucson.
Record: 72-69
Previous: 16 (+7)
Magic Number: - (Eliminated from NL West)

10. Indianapolis
ardthomp's Indians are slowly losing their view of Boston in the East. Perhaps they should focus on fending off Nashville in the Wild Card instead...
Record: 76-65
Previous: 14 (+4)
Magic Number: 15

11. Kansas City
This bunch of no-talent ass clowns can't seem to get their acts together. How they managed to take such a large lead in the NL North is beyond me.
Record: 82-59
Previous: 9 (-1)
Magic Number: - (Leading NL North)

12. Hartford
The Crushers aren't out of the AL East just yet, but their odds on taking a Wild Card spot are much better.
Record: 72-69
Previous: 18 (+6)
Magic Number: 11

13. Chicago
South Siders rejoice! The Aztecs have mounted a mini charge and aren't ready to give up on knocking off Portland, now only four games back.
Record: 71-70
Previous: 17 (+4)
Magic Number: 17

14. Nashville
Much like Indianapolis, the Posse seems to be falling back slowly. They're by no means out of the division race, but being two games out of the final Wild Card spot currently has them on the outside looking in.
Record: 74-67
Previous: 10 (-4)
Magic Number: 13

15. Tucson
In previous seasons, the Ectoplasm typically had the 5 seed in the playoffs wrapped up (despite having the second best record in Wrigleyville). Those trade deadline deals made for prospects now has them fighting for (and currently winning) the final spot with Wichita.
Record: 74-67
Previous: 11 (-4)
Magic Number: - (Eliminated from NL West)

16. Vancouver
It says a lot that all four of the NL West teams are in the top half of the league power rankings. It also says a lot that the division was settled with 40+ games remaining in the season....
Record: 68-73
Previous: 12 (-6)
Magic Number - (Eliminated from NL West)

17. Portland
The Pandemonium are in a free fall (at least in the power rankings). Luckily for pbsilver, these things have no bearing on the standings, as his group holds a four game lead over the Aztecs.
Record: 75-66
Previous: 4 (-13)
Magic Number - (Leading AL North)

18. Cincinnati
The Howlers seem to have taken offense to my "stick a fork in 'em" comment last week, as they've won 13 games since last edition.
Record: 68-73
Previous: 21 (+3)
Magic Number: 7

19. Seattle
Second year owner kevingrt has to be pleased with the 'Sonics' progress in those two seasons, climbing from last in season 10 to second in season 11. But he needs a lot of help from KC if he wants to take first this season.
Record: 65-76
Previous: 20 (+1)

20. New Orleans
As is the case with the rest of the NL South, the Hip Waders are eliminated from winning the division. Adding insult to injury, the Wild Card seems out of reach as well.

While not officially eliminated from contention, this guy is removing the Justice from the playoff contenders hat...especially since they've dropped three spots from last week.
Record: 67-74
Previous: 19 (-3)
Magic Number: 6

23. Charleston
The Tobacco Farmers managed to pick up a mere 7 victories between last week's rankings and this week's. Maybe all that tobacco has finally caught up to them.
Record: 66-75
Previous: 15 (-8)
Magic Number: 5

24. Fargo
The Prairie Dogs are on the brink of elimination, dormie as those match play golfers call it. To win the division now, they need to win out, Portland to lose out, win the tiebreakers against Portland, and hope those pesky Aztecs don't get in the way. Pretty tall order.
Record: 58-83
Previous: 27 (+3)
Magic Number: 0

25. Las Vegas
drewaely's Rattlers are the highest ranked of those AL teams eliminated. Playing in the West with Helena and Albuquerque, who fearlessly tread all over these snakes.
Record: 60-81
Previous: 30 (+5)

26. Tacoma
The Toyotas are dangerously close to being booted out of the postseason for the second straight season, as both the possibilities for a division crown or Wild Card berth are remote at best.
Record: 63-78
Previous: 22 (-4)
Magic Number: 2

27. Trenton
After leaping out of the basement of the power rankingslast week, the Tripods regressed a bit this week. Either way, they're just playing for next season at this point.
