ANNOUNCEMENT: Congratulations to the ANGELS!

Congratulations to Wichiwichipai and the ANGELS for clinching both 4th place (and therefore a playoff position) and 3rd place in the Stengel Division.

I will ask Wichiwichipai to read the "Playoff Rules" which can be found in the newly opened Playoffs Forum.

I will ask Wichi to SIGN HIS NAME below the rules after he has read and understood them.

I will ask Wichi (and everyone else) to pay particular intention to Rotation rules in the playoffs. Because we will be playing all playoff games in exhibition mode, we will no longer have fatigue available to police our rotations. We will have to go back to our traditional method of POSTING A ROTATION BEFORE THE START OF THE PLAYOFFS, AND STICKING WITH THAT ROTATION.

I will ask Wichi to POST A PLAYOFF ROTATION when he is ready to do so. It does not have to be right away, but it should be some time before the first game of the playoffs. Keep in mind that, because exhibiton games are based on live rosters that change every week, teams may have different than the rotation those used during the regular season. As we get closer to the playoffs everyone may wish to download the rosters off line and examine and experiment them with them.

Congratulations again to the Angels, and good luck.

And now, congratulations to the ANGELS for clinching at least SECOND PLACE in the STENGEL DIVISION.

The Angels are guaranteed home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

And now, congratulations to the ANGELS for clinching FIRST PLACE in the STENGEL DIVISION.
