As our deities begin the home stretch of the 2nd season of the DCL, it will be interesting to see how the performances turn. Will our potential Free Agent deities really start to light things up in their contract year? How will the playoffs and post-season awards shake out? Recently Zeus and Little Rock have really been making a strong push to make the post-season, as they are in the midst of a 10 game winning streak, putting them 4 games in front of Cleveland in the UL West. The month of August remained injury-free and saw a number more cycles and 3 Home Run games by our deities.
