Overspending is always a gamble. Two seasons ago Extra Crispy 4th fried Flashmashers 1st in quarters, which, I'd say is part of the reason why Mashers are demoting now.
My best player got injured 3mins into the 2nd game of the final series with Liberty & Power and look at them now!

On the other hand staying put doesn't play well with the supporters, so you gamble :)

A few interesting situations tomorrow:

1) Extra Crispy @ Lake Charles: Lake Charles has had a wonderful finish to the season, and now holds his own destiny, at home. A win assures either team of at worst 5th place, while the loser will be heading into a relegation series (likely against the Kentucky Wyldcats). It's a series either team should have no problem with, but 5th place sure is nice financially.

2) Chicken Hawks @ Toronto Traptors: With Natellio getting a walkover, all the Traptors have to do is hold serve at home, and they have the 2 seed. However, how Chicken Hawks decide to approach this game will be interesting. If Chicken Hawks win, they are assured a playoff birth. However, to win he will likely need to normal, which would make it difficult to do anything against Demon Hoosiers in round 1. A loss will put him safe in 5th place, as his PD is much higher than the two teams behind him. However, if he does plan on losing, it's his last game, so he really has no reason to store up enthusiasm. We could see a CT from him just for the heck of it. Or maybe I'm just trying to get them both to normal to ease my route a little. Who knows.

The other side looks pretty set in stone. The only way it switches would be with a Cathar loss and a Door Mats win (over Swanson). You can bet Swanson will be on TIE for this one, so it could be possible for the Door Mats to pull off a win. But, to do so they'd need to at least normal, and hope Cathar loses to have any shot at the 2 seed. Classic debate between home court and enthusiasm...

Good everyone! Excited for the playoffs to start!

Interesting indeed.

Well, like last season, if I cant go to the finals I am not sure I want to pay an extra week of salary vs 1 road game's revenue. Combined with 2/3rds of my roster being up for sale I think it is fairly obvious what my plans are :P

can't believe it's playoff time again..........


go CHICKEN HAWKS!

That's right!! Chicken Hawks rule!!!

Got pull for my boy Natellio!!!!!

Get sum!!!

GL everyone!!!

+1. Obviously.

so we already know how the Ron/Bushrod game is going huh?

Haha. That might be the only game I confidently can pick a winner of (no offense Bushrods...). The Demon Hoosier/Extra Crispy game should go the home team's way, but Stalzog was in this exact scenario 2 seasons ago and pulled out a win.. so it certainly isn't a guarantee.

I do have one gap I was hoping to fill that I was not able to. It'll still likely take an injury or a bad foul situation for me to lose, but those certainly aren't out of the question.
