Standings -- March 1, 2011

Off we go!

Just before we drafted during the weekend of debauchery which is the Redwood SOM draft, we voted to eliminate divisions and go to one big league, with the top five making the playoffs: seeds four versus five in the best-of-five Elimination Round; Elimination Round winner versus number one seed, and seed two versus seed three in the semi-finals; and the winners advancing to the World Series.

Rumor has it we may be looking at an expansion team very soon.

Yankees hoped to avoid the colors curse coming out of Bodega Weekend but, even though they have a lower winning percentage than the Rockies, they're eight over and the Rocks are seven over. So the Yankees get the colors. And the curse?
