Standings -- September 9, 2009

A few tea parties over the last several days, so we'll update today and await Monday night at Foggy Bottom, which is also the 54-game deadline. 18-gamers await too -- will Teagarden carry the Cards into the post-season?

Meanwhile, at the risk of running these guys into the ground, this I thought was too good to pass up (note the Lew Fiske guy on lead guitar has lost the glasses and the 'stache and the fat guy got rid of the comb-over):



Florin Division

1. Rockies (29-22), .568, 0.0 GB
2. Giants (29-23), .558, 0.5 GB

Standings -- September 1, 2009

The Commissioner's Office has kindly extended the 54-game deadline to September 14, so everyone should be able to make it OK. Meanwhile look at that race in Florin. Four teams separated by 1.5 games, and only three can make the post-season!

Meanwhile, we are on a bit of a Fernwood Tonight kick, so here is Jerry Hubbard at his best:
