Bracketology
The Brackets are up and there is sure to be some excitement during this years playoffs. Clearly the team formerly known as "Insliders" has pulled the easiest draw this year, with very little standing in their way of an elite 8 bid except perhaps an unproven Lebowskis team, but this could be the year the Big L's get the monkey's off their back. The toughest quarter of the bracket has to be DGS, Moderately Sober, Keystoners and Harry's Full Disclosure, with the Blue Pups coming out of the first round along with upstart teams like Scared Hitless, Hired Guns and the Dukes of Haphazzard. So, here are the softball guys predictions.
Again, skipping the first round and moving on to Round 2:
DGS handles Scared Hitless with relative ease, Harry's Full Disclosure gets knocked off by the Hired Guns, Moderately Sober puts up a strong battle to the Blue Pups but falls in their opener, and the Keystoners fall to the upstart Dukes who advance to the Sweet 16 as a 41 seed. Sliders, Destroyers, BIJ, Pot Fever, Dragon Slayers and Texas Republic all move on with relative ease. License to Ill finds itself the victim of a 45 seed WAsabi upset making them the second 40's seed to move to the Sweet 16, while the Liberal Agenda takes down the Cap City Flyers. Big L's escape with their first tournament win in 3 years, the Saints hold off the Big Sticks, Owego Fire Department falls to an underrated Vito Power, and Capitol Punishment gets taken out by the Get Fresh Crew ending their cinderella story.
Teams Advancing to Sweet 16: DGS, Hired Guns, Blue Pups, Dukes of Haphazard, Sliders, Destroyers, BIJ, Pot Fever, Dragon Slayers, Texas Republic, WAsabi, Liberal Agenda, Big Lebowskis, Vito Power, Get Fresh Crew.
Round 3: DGS, Blue Pups and Dragon Slayers all win with ease. Big Lebowskis, still drunk off their first victory fall victim to the Liberal Agenda and fail to see Sunday. Destroyers face off with Big in Japan and the sheer power of BIJ's music sends the Destroyers home, while the Insliders hold off a scrappy WAsabi team to advance. The game of the round sees Vito Power's pitching shut down Pot Fever, while Texas Republic handles the Saints on their way to a shot at a repeat.
Teams Advancing to Elite 8: DGS, Blue Pups, TR, BIJ, Insliders, Dragon Slayers, Vito Power and Liberal Agenda.
Round 4: DGS and Blue Pups face off in a classic battle of old school titans with DGS getting the upper hand. Texas Republic sends Big in Japan packing. Dragon Slayers fall to Vito Power, making Vito the highest seed to make the final 4, and the Insliders mop the floor with the Liberal Agenda.
Teams Advancing to the Final 4: Insliders, DGS, Vito Power, Texas Republic.
Round 5: DGS faces long time rival Insliders (or Liberty Square Sliders) in a game that goes into the 7th inning still up for grabs. Some clutch hitting and defense by DGS secures a bid for the title. Texas Republic has ridden their offense into this semi-final game against Vito Power, but Vito's pitching dominates the pace keeping them in the game, but in the end, TR holds out and wins a shot at a repeat.
The Championship: Texas Republic enters this game looking for their second straight championship but are foiled by the Commissioner and his old guard veterans as DGS wins the championship. Meanwhile, the Insliders avoid losing the 3rd place game because there isn't one.
