Win or lose FlightAl has probably secured top seeding in the East playoffs and baring miracles will play the D Rays in the first round. Bombers are pretty much ensured to face Ambition. Assuming no alien invasion, the winner of BigHeros vs TechEast should play Roto NL (the loser will play Lynx).

This makes BigHeros vs TechEast, the Chronicle “game of the night” in the East.

 BigHeros vs TechEast

The air will be thick with suspense as Biggio, Molholt, Nhr and Hero bring Bigheros high powered offense face to face with the All Aces Candidate (and the East ERA leader) Sandman7.

Baptiste, DIESELUSA, ABSmoke and 0 will be under pressure to increase their offensive production. That may be easier said then done with “TechEasts Beast” gatyopin2 often chained to some pole somewhere.

The winner of this game should play Roto NL in the playoffs. Bigheros offense has scored 51 runs in 6 games, the second highest in the East. TechEast is short on offensive bench strength and apparently the hitting slump monster has bitten most people in the Tech clubhouse.

Players to Watch For:

BigHeros

Supernova will need to keep TechEast off balance. It is not enough for Baptiste and Sandman to catch fire. Supernova can win the game by keeping the rest of Techs batting order flailing.

TechEast

Sandman7 has an All aces award up for grabs and a win will ensure he gets it. ABsmoke and DieselUSA will need to dump the jitters and lead an offense breakout. The Hitting Slump Monster might be seen in this game.

DrDeaths’s Prediction: 5-3 BigHeros

!PESTO!’s Take:

“There is no doubt that this will be Techeasts game, Sandman7 will step up to the challenge and secure his all aces award seeing as Bigheroes is a strikeout friendly team. I believe this game is going to start and end in Sandman7’s hand as BigHeroes will not be able to handle what he is going to dish out. Techeasts bats will need to step up so should Sandman7 make any slight mistakes, it could still cost him the game.

Players to Watch For:

Bigheroes- Molholt- If his computer can’t handle the game this week it could hurt Bigheroes offensively, so every1 pop a squat and see if the game crashes in the first inning.

TechEast-Sandman7- As i previously stated this game is on his shoulders as he is backed up by a pretty much dormant monster of an offense.”

!PESTO!’s Prediction 7-5 TechEast

 Roto NL vs FlightAL

Last week the Chronicles prediction had Roto NL beating BigHeros. We have to respect everything Fire911 does for us (I love his previews). However, the question was what ganja weed was Fire911 exposed to prior to making his prediction that Roto NL would beat Bigheros in the 6^th round?

It’s true that RotoNL scored 10 runs versus both Drays and Ambition. However, Nubexpress, Hazed, hrpower and Day will all need to tee off vs Flight to have a chance to topple FlightALs top ranked offense (tops in either league).

NubXPRESS and Pestos pitching and defense have been RotoNLs biggest asset in 2008-3. But FlightALs offense lead by Puddles, randyp4nt, Zachatack and Yarddog have eaten similar pitchers whole for lunch. DrDeath (second lowest ERA in either league) needs to keep RotoNL at 6 runs or less and FlightALs offense should do the rest.

Players to Watch For:

Roto NL

Hazed, Day and BigSwol will need to get the ball out of the park and score more then 8 runs to have a chance. Pesto will have his hands full with the leagues highest run producing offense.

FlightAL

DrDeath, undefeated on the mound, should keep the game in hand. Yarddog, Zachatack and Flights MVP candidate Poodles will look to put pressure on Pesto early.

DrDeaths’s Prediction: 9-5 FlightAL

Lynx vs D Rays

This game doesn’t mean much in the standings. However, a Lynx win will give them a respectable 4-3 in regular season. More importantly a blow out could give EWade, Wendigo, Hugebat and xXBRAVOXx momentum. Lynx got blown out by FlightAL last week but has a chance to do the blowing out themselves this week.

The D Rays have scored 1 run in each of their last 2 games. MASIMO has not been able to keep opposing batters under control. KeenanG and HAVERFORD have been unsuccessful in igniting offensive explosions.

Players to Watch For:

Lynx

Lynx really are the sleeper pick this league. Manager EWade (having suffered some kind of factor revolt this week) will need to refocus this team, blow out the D Rays and take a winning record into the playoffs. This will go a long way to appeasing the factor gods.

D Rays

The Drays are a puzzle. In Pug the Drays rip it up. However, the real problem is pitching and defense. The Drays team ERA so far in league is 20.5.

DrDeaths’s Prediction: 8-3 Lynx

!PESTO!’s Prediction 5-2 Lynx

Ambition vs Bombers

Of course the Bombers will win right? Bombers last week broke out of their 2 game slide with some Dray humping action. Cunning finally seems in top shape and ThePope is back in the driver’s seat. The Bronx Bombers appear ready to roll into the playoffs with an attitude.

H0w (manager of Ambition) has heaped praise on NLaLoosh. Certainly Ambition has turned their season around. But it’s not shown in the win column. Ambition has lost the last 3 games by just 2 runs and that’s to some good teams. To put it simply Ambition can take Cindy to the dance, but can they get ever get past 3rd base?

Players to Watch For:

Bombers

Look to see BigJuddd and gimmiepie power the Bomber offense. Cunning will break out finally. ThePope is back and should help stabilize the Bombers pitching situation.

Ambition

H0w will need to provide his veteran leadership again Tuesday. NLaLoosh will be severely tested versus some very powerful hitters. Ambition can hang with anyone. This will be an acid test for NLaLoosh and the Ambition D. They will need Nos and Conman to show.

DrDeaths’s Prediction: Cindys cherry is safe. 11-6 Bombers

!PESTO!’s Prediction 13-11 Bombers
