PLAYOFFS BABY!!!!!!!!

Welcome to week one of the playoffs. I'm gonna walk you through the next few weeks, just so everyone is one the same page and there is a clear path to the finish line. First, the final power rankings (based on winning percentage)-

1. Tallcorn Cobras
2. Jimmy's Daddy
3. Hoosier Heat
4. Clark & Addison
5. Client #9
6. The Rockpile

7. Lawndale Longhorns
8. The Cornholers
9. Baby Gorillas
10. The SwinGERS
11. Year 2000!
12. CO Yankees

The winners of each respective division will get a bye in the first round of the playoffs as a reward for their stellar regular season play. Since this is a three week playoff, the #7 and #8 seeds will enjoy the same bye. So, for the purposes of this week, the Tallcorn Cobras, Jimmy's Daddy, Lawndale Longhorns, and The Cornholers will have a bye (your matchups this week have no bearing on the overall picture). With that, we will have the the #3 seed vs. #6 seed, #4 seed vs. #5 seed, #9 seed vs. #12, and #10 vs #11.

Next week, the winner of #3 vs. #6 will play the Jimmy's Daddy, the winner of #4 vs. #5 will play Tallcorn Cobras, the winner of #9 vs. #12 will play The Cornholers, and #10 vs. #11 will play the Lawndale Longhorns.

I hope this makes sense (it is a bit involved, but it makes the most sense and is the fairest way of proceeding. If anyone has any questions or comments, make them in the comments section (as always).

Why did I post a picture of Serena Williams, you ask? Anyone that threatens to shove a tennis ball down someone's fuckin throat is worthy of a PG picture post.

Playoff Time SON!!!!!!!!

I know this has nothing to do with baseball, but anytime someone gets cold cocked, it's a sight to see. Boise State dude, you got.......JACKED UP!!!!!!

Playoff time, guys. The final week for the regular season is next week 9/7-9/13. So finish strong, fellas. The 3 week playoffs will begin on 9/14. The first place teams in each divison will be awarded a BYE in Week 1 of the playoffs (as a reward for winning their respective divisions). This will automatically put both teams in the top 4 (at least) in terms of money.

If you are not in the top 6, that is no reason to lay down and quit. Keep in mind, this is a 6 year league, and points are accumulated every season (the team with the most points at the end of the 6th season wins the jackpot that is accumulating). Here is a rundown of the points system (per our constitution)-

1st place 18.0 points
2nd place 15.0 points
3rd place 12.0 points
4th place 10.0 points
5th place 9.0 points
6th place 8.0 points
7th place 7.0 points
8th place 6.0 points
9th place 5.0 points
10th place 4.0 points
11th place 3.0 points
12th place 2.0 points
13th place 1.0 points
14th place 0.0 points

Those points will be awarded AFTER the playoffs. Also, all prize monies will be awarded AFTER the playoffs. And if you think the points aren't important, picture the CO Yankees winning the entire league next season, all of a sudden he's back in the hunt. In short, EVERY WIN COUNTS.

Here are the power rankings thus far.

1. Tallcorn Cobras
2. Jimmy's Daddy
3. Hoosier Heat
4. Client #9
5. Clark & Addison
6. The Rockpile/Lawndale Longhorns

10. Baby Gorillas

I had a conversation with Co-Commish Wade Ellis this morning to go over this. If anyone has any questions or concerns, just put them in the comments section and we'll go from there. Good luck!!

#5 and #6 spots are still WIDE OPEN. Keep this in mind. The Baby Gorilla's, who were treated like the Boston Red Sox this week, are still only 8 games behind Clark & Addison and the Lawndale Longhorns. I thought about packing it up, but I realized, I'M STILL IN THIS MUTHAFUCKA!!!!!!!

Will someone beat Heffley consistently? I'm sick of the Monday morning gloat filled IM's. Since I play him this week, I guess it's up to me. Bring it on, Hef.

I'll have further details about the playoffs starting this week. So stay tuned.
