October 4th, 3005

It was a tension-filled day as there was plenty riding on the line on the last day of the regular season.

In the UL Southwest, Gadsden lost their early game to Columbus, 9-8, thereby opening the door for Raleigh to tie them and force a one-game playoff. However, Raleigh got kicked around by Stockton, 9-1, thus giving Gadsden the UL Southwest crown.

In the CL Wildcard race, Satan and Orlando had a 1 game lead over Jesus Christ and Memphis. Memphis played early and beat Houston, 6-4. With the playoffs on the line, Satan went 2 for 4 with 4 runs scored and 2 RBI as Orlando defeats Phoenix in Arizona, sending Orlando to the playoffs and sending Memphis packing.

In the UL Wildcard race, Cincinnati had a one game lead on Cleveland. Cleveland played the early game and beat Lewiston 10-9 on three straight singles in the bottom of the 12th. Controlling their own destinies, Cincinnati headed into the late game in Pittsburgh needing the win to seal their trip to the playoffs. Tied with Pittsburgh heading into the bottom of the 9th, a Pittsburgh mortal lead off the inning with a Solo HR to deep left center to force a one-game playoff between Cincinnati and Cleveland for the UL's Wildcard spot. The next day, the game was held in Cleveland and Cincinnati was unprepared, as they were defeated 8-1, sending Cleveland to the playoffs. Cincinncati deity Jupiter has taken a lot of flak for the loss and was considerably miserable following the game. He ended the season in an 0-9 slump - with two of those games being the most important of the year. Cleveland Catcher Enlil most certainly showed up to play as he went 3 for 4 with 2 HRs, 3 runs scored and 3 RBI in the win. "It's wonderful to be going back," exclaimed Enlil, "We fell a little short last year, but we're riding high and this is a game of streaks!" He was later seen getting into his BMW SUV with 4 teenage virgins. Let it not be said that Enlil don't know how to party.

In the Continental League, Siddhartha Guatama trailed uKqili by one HR in his bid to win the triple crown. The Buddhist Bomber played in the earliest game of the day and seemed to be letting the pressure get to him as he was 0 for 3 heading into the bottom of the 9th. But, then, he delivered a 453 foot homer to straightaway center field to pull even with uKqili. Later in the day, uKqili was unable to homer, stranding him at 90 with Guatama. So, Siddhartha Guatama wins the CL Triple Crown with a .488 / 90 HR / 211 RBI. Congratulations to the Buddhist Bomber!

In the United League, Altjira trailed Vishnu by 4 RBI in his bid to win the Triple Crown. Altjira drove in 2 runs with a 2 run homer in the 3rd inning of Lewiston's game against Cleveland, but that was all he could muster. Vishnu, meanwhile, drove in 3 runs for Columbus, to finish the season 5 RBI ahead of Altjira.

On 10/4/3005, Siddhartha Guatama (.375 / 11 RBI / .444 OBP) and Cleveland's Enlil (.600 / 11 RBI) won the last of the 3005 Player of the Week Awards.

So, the playoffs have been decided - Neither last season's champs (Buffalo and Mohammed) or the team they beat (Phoenix and Confucius) make the playoffs this year. Charlotte and their deity Abraham are the third team which will not be repeating their trip to the playoffs this year.

The three newcomers to the playoffs are Hartford (Bondje), Norfolk (uKqili) and Gadsden (Odin).

The playoff schedule for the first week is as follows (home team listed 2nd):

Orlando (Satan) vs. Hartford (Bondje)
Norfolk (uKqili) vs. Atlanta (Viracocha)
Gadsden (Odin) vs. Greensboro (Lao-tzu)
Cleveland (Enlil) vs. Little Rock (Zeus)

Deity BA Leader: Altjira .496 (+.008 over 2nd place)
Deity HR Leader: Altjira/Vishnu 92 (+1 over 2nd place)
Deity RBI Leader: Vishnu 219 (+5 over 2nd place)
Deity SB Leader: Guru Nahak / Hunab Ku 90 (+2 over 2nd place)
