While McClung and I were takining it easy and slow, waiting to find out who we would feast on this week, four teams battled for their playoff lives. The accomplishments from late March thru the end of August means nothing. What have you done lately means more than Power Rankings and the current location of your squad in the standings. Walls of Jericho battled GRC3's Argumentative 9irons while the Splendid Sprainer battled the leagues most up to the minute owner, Butch Lemaster. After the dust had settled, the smoke had cleared, and the Sprainers Hair Gel lost it's last bit of hold the Walls Of Jericho and the Coalton Country Lads reigned victorious. The Walls easily bested the Argumentative 9irons who correctly forecasted his playoff demise earlier in the week with the SmackTalk posting of "Playoffs. Play well or go home." GRC3 toughest remaining fantasy question for the remainder of the year will be what K has the best mathcup. For the Coalton Country Lads it was just another reminder of how heartless the Sprainer can be. As if being 12 and smacking liners to six year olds wasn't enough ripping the heart out of the one man StatTracker Ev Lemaster could take the cake. There was very few things in life Lemaster found more enjoyable than crossing the tracks on the way to the Rail and having a night cap in front of the PC Monitor tracking the days action one AB at a time. Those days are over. The Militia can only think about the what if's and should've done differents for six more months and hope all issues will be corrected and resolved for the 2012 season.
With all do respect to one Everett Lemaster, who often times leads more with his heart than his head, the four best teams and the four most forward thinking owners remain. The Stars and/or the BCFP have held the top spot in the standings from wire to wire if I'm not mistaken. Regardless both have been the top two teams in terms of the highly respected Power Rankings (please note this is not to be confused with the official Butch Lemaster Power Poll). Love him or hate him you cannot deny Christopher David Lee and his place as a force in all things 64/60 another season, another playoff spot and finally Walls Of Jericho who managed to turn their tarnished 64/60 past into a afterthought so much so they were rewarded a 64/60 Football Franchise. Rumor also has it that 64/60 brass is prepared to offer a multi-year franchise offer to the Walls Of Jericho Ownership Group.
As the playoffs moves into it's second week we have the number one seeded Bear Creek FP Factory facing the fifth seeded Walls Of Jericho while the two seeded Barboursville Stars face the three seed Coalton Country Lads. Two teams will advance to the Week and a half finale and I'm sure I can speak for everyone in the league when I say as long as it's not the Gimpy One we will all be happy.
Pickup Of The Week
Jason Motte- Bear Creek FP Factory. It appears as though Motte is finally getting his first extended look at the role he seemed destined to fill four years ago. The power arm seems to be a good fit and the excellent season up to this point should buy him a extended look with some room on the leash.
Head Scratcher Of The Week
R.A. Dickey- The Militia. Before you label me a Idiot, assuming the label hasn't already been applied, hear me out. Is Dickey a must own? Absolutely Not. Is Dickey even a attractive option under normal circumstances? No. However had the Militia took the time to see Dickey's upcoming schedule they would have seen that only a few days later Dickey would have been a two start option for the upcoming week against two favorabale opponents in the Nats and Braves both at home. Once again the desire to fire first puts the Militia in harms way.
64/60 Football
BCFP 203 vs. Barboursville Stars 188. 188 points is nothing to hang one's head over to bad McClung was the second owner to sign up this season. I now understand why it takes so much effort to get teams once the league is created. Next year I vote for customized scheduling with teams able to nominate who must face yours truly in Week 1and almost certainly starting the season 0-1.
Thomas R. Browns 197 vs. Marshall Maniac 180. Not a good week in the McClung household as the son couldn't even best his disappointing father in Week 1. For the TRB's it seems they are using bulletin board material for motivation. They have manufactured a us against the world mentality as you likely gathered from Big H.I. ,a.k.a Butch Lemasters, blog post. The Contender/Pretender gauge is on the upper side of halfway after Week 1.
Chump Slayers 168 vs. Three Penis Wine 161. The Winers could be drinking heavy this week. Their K gets injured on the opening kickoff and hangs a 0 spot. Their opposition gets 19 from a 3rd WR and lose by seven. While Three Penis may consider this to be a bad beat I simply chalk it up to a man on a role. From draft night untill now James has meet a new special lady friend, had two children,and most importantly changed his Facebook Status to In A Relationship the win in Week One is just icing on the cake.
Son's Of Jim Mora 177 vs. BC Fightin Amish 161. Though James is on quite a roll let's not ignore the accomplishements of Bill Fenney in the early going. Without a doubt the SoJM's take the honors for top name. Bill's draft was deemed solid by everyne in the room time and time again. And a win over Christopher Lee is a win for everyone in the league. Chris I would like to extend a big thank you. Thank you for nabbing Peyton in the 4th Round this move could turn out to save my season. Here's to 15 more weeks of Kerry Collins.
Seneca Wallace 140 vs. Busy Beavers 140. When you produce only a mere 140pts you will take whatever you can get and althought neither squad walks away a winner you also avoid being labled a loser.
12th Round Kicker 136 vs. Argumentative 9irons 128. Not a good week for the 9irons. A No show in the first round of the baseball playoff followed by league worst production in football yet GRC's still has his head up high. Not long ago GRC3 would be feeling the effects but no more. Waiver Wire browsing has been replaced by a trip to Starbucks and the Wall Street Journal. For the Champ the production failed to meet expectations but it still netted the desired results.

From The Downtown Gate City Athletic Club and Gentlemen's Business Association, parent company of the TRB's.= Nobody's laughing now are they?
This is trash due. Look what my team is doing this week and that is what Chris should have faced. My team laid an egg last week and it was not indicative of how they had been playing. Bottom line: Chris's team caught fire and mine had their worst offensive display of the season and also Chris had 3 different pitchers go for 11 k's 2 of which re no namers he picked up off waiver wires, mention that dick breath!
