Opening Round Results

Hartford (Bondje) def. Memphis (Christ) 3-0
Houston (Thetan) def. Oklahoma City (Apsu) 3-1
New Orleans (Nahak) def. Seattle (Guatama) 3-2
Pittsburgh (Ometeotl) def. Stockton (Ku) 3-0

In the Harford-Memphis series, Memphis kept two of the three games close, but the little payroll that could couldn't conquer the Hartford squad. Hartford won Games 1 and 2 by scores of 4-3 and 17-4. Game 3, in Memphis, went down to the wire as Hartford scored a run in the top of the 9th to tie the game and send it to extra innings. In the top of the 10th, Bondje scored the winning run on an RBI double from mortal Charles Melton to seal the series with the 3-2 win. Memphis managed only one HR during the 3 game series, a solo shot in the 4th inning of Game 1, which is a testament to Hartford's playoff rotation.

Every silver lining has its cloud - Houston easily won Games 1 and 2 of the series with scores of 5-2 and 4-1, but while sliding into 2nd base for a double in the bottom of the 8th inning of Game 3, A Thetan injured his abdomen and had to leave the game. Thetan was taken to a local hospital where doctors diagnosed a Strained Abdominal Muscle which will sideline the Scientology icon for a week. "I think that's what the problem is," noted Chief Physician Steven Franklin, "But it's an alien physiology. For all I know, what I think are his lungs could be his gonads or something. I tried to ask Mr. Thetan about his species' biology, but he said that answers would only be given if I donated several thousand dollars to his religion..."

Oklahoma City won game 3, 13-9, and Houston managed to win Game 4, 5-4, without their deity but they now have to face a Hartford squad which easily dispatched Memphis in a sweep. Hartford is the heaviest favorite in playoff history amongst gamblers, as they are a 1-5 favorite to win the series and are getting 3-1 odds on sweeping this series as well.

The New Orleans - Seattle series promised to be a good one and it delivered, stretching the full 5 games. Seattle won Games 1 and 2 in New Orleans and New Orleans won Games 3 and 4 in Seattle. In Game 5, New Orleans actually cashed in on home field advantage to win the series and advance to the next round. It was the first playoff experience for Siddhartha Guatama and it showed as the deity performed very poorly in the 5 game series. New Orleans wins the series with final scores of 3-8, 3-5, 10-1, 16-6 and 10-5 as New Orleans' offense sprang to life after dropping the first two games at home.

"I feel Guatama's pain," Guru Nahak told reporters after the game, "My first trip to the playoffs last year I hit .182...it can be a little intimidating at first, but then you get used to it. I am sure Guatama will be back and he will do much better. Unless he plays us again...in which case, we'll smoke his ass."

Hunab Ku played well in his first post-season experience, but Pittsburgh rolls through them with little trouble to advance to play New Orleans in Round 2. Stockton had a 2-1 lead heading into the bottom of the 9th in Game 1, but Pittsburgh's mortal 21 year-old 1B Lance Davis clobbers a 2-run blast down the left field line to win the game 3-2. Stockton just seemed deflated the rest of the series and dropped Games 2 and 3 by scores of 7-3 and 11-8.

Championship Series Matchups

Hartford (Bondje) vs. Houston (Thetan) - A Thetan's injury will have him back on the field in 5 days, just in time for Game 3 in Houston. So, if Houston can find some way to steal a game or two in Hartford, they could surprise some people. However, even with a healthy Thetan, Houston's chances of winning this series are very slim as they are outmatched by this Hartford squad.

New Orleans (Nahak) vs. Pittsburgh (Ometeotl) - These teams are pretty evenly matched. Pittsburgh hits for average very well with little power while New Orleans hits with power with a lower average. New Orleans has the better pitching staff, however, and New Orleans is slightly favored to win this series.
