It may not have the following of the MLB playoffs, but this mini-fall classic has its own brand of intrigue. Not for Stubing, as he barely made a wimper in the fantasy league this season - better luck next year Dallio!
The formidible Ash faces off against Katie's rag-tag bunch of wannabees - Pujols, Jeter, Braun and Figgins. After Monday's round of games - Matt holds a 13 pt lead (30-17). Action in the junior circut pits blood against blood - father vs. son. With the 'old man' forging the slimest of slim leads, 1 pt leads going into Tuesdays' slate of games. May the best man (or lady) win.
Dall...btw.....you lost to gal. One who admists that 7 innings at a ball game is enough for her...the shame you must feel?

August 29 - the Jays lost 3-2 to the BoSox (58-69)
August 30 - Doc was crushed 7-0 and the Bean eaters sweep the Jays at Fenway (58-70)

Sept 5 - can't build on the win, losing 6-4 in this game to the pinstripers (60-75)
Sept 6 - ICHIRO! The secpond fastest player ever to the 2000-career hit plateau. He does it in 1,402 games..just 12 games slower than All Simmons. At 36 and with 10 years in Japanese ball behind him, will he stay healthy and around long enought to reach 3000? At his pace - its oly 5 seasons.

Sept 11 - Jeter does it. Hit # 2,722 comes quickly - passing Lou.
Sept 13 - Ichiro does it (again). This time reaching 200 hits in season for a record, 9th straight season.
Sept 15 & 16 - Bluebirds drop into NYC for 2 quickies and guess what...they split the games - W 10-4 and lose 4-5. (66-80)
