Crusaders Claim MBBA Wild Card

So, a pretty lackluster 5-5 sim to finish the season: 2/3 from Long Beach, 1/3 from Vegas, and a 2-2 split with Los Angeles. End result: 95-67 on the season, but LA has pretty much been out of their minds and finished at 97-65 to take the division.

Thankfully, the Crackheads were unable to make up enough to pass us in the Wild Card standings, so the Crusaders will be making their third consecutive postseason appearance.

Looking ahead, we get the "Best Record In The GUBA" Baltimore Monarchs, featuring the best offense in the league (.823 OPS as a team. Jesus.)

The bad thing is that our ace, 22 game winner Ken McKain started the last game of the season, making him unavailable until game 3 at the earliest. The rotation has been shuffled around so that George Adams will take Game 1 and Lindsay Blackley will pitch game 2, with McKain going on short rest for the 3rd game. Sucks, and I'm not sure why the aren't more off days before the start of the playoffs so that teams can get their rotations set properly, but oh well. I'm kinda figuring on another first round exit because of it.
