AZ SnakePit Fantasy Baseball: Week 20

Two weeks left, and things are beginning to shake themselves down. But 10.5 points cover the fifth- and ninth-placed teams, and only two of those five teams will make the play-off, so crunch time is approaching.

AZ SnakePit 3, Bad Wolf 7
Alabama Slammers 5, Mizzoula Osprey 5
Blonde Streaks 7, Ignatius J. Rallies 2
Lady Gaga Regatta 6, The Fighting Amish 4
Sofa King Juiced 8, Los Wailoracles 1
warlords 2, Phoenix Platypi 7
Lil Bitches 9, Whooping Zoidbergs 0

AZ SnakePit 3, Bad Wolf 7
Two bad defeats in a row for Snake, and they're limping, not running, toward the post-season. Wolf swept pitching, with two Wins for Lester and 15 K's by Floyd; Rivera saved three. Cordero saved three for AZ too, while both Willingham and Moreland had three HRs for them.

Alabama Slammers 5, Mizzoula Osprey 5

Slammers piled up 82 K's, behind 19 from Halladay; Gonzalez and Luebke each got a W + 13 K. Morrow got a W + 12 K for Mizzoula, while on offense, Braun scored nine Runs and homered twice; Kinsler also has two HR.

Blonde Streaks 7, Ignatius J. Rallies 2
A solid win kept Streaks' post-season hopes alive. They took all five hitting points, batting .319, with Gordon (two HR, nine RBI) leading them, though the Rallies had Hitter of the Week Stanton (four HR, six RBI). They also got a W + 15 K from Gallardo. Bumgarner fanned 10 for Blone.

Lady Gaga Regatta 6, The Fighting Amish 4
Lady are making a push to avoid the drop, having gone 19-10 in the last three weeks, this time beating 4th-placed Amish. They had a 1.93 team ERA, and hit .308. Martinez and Hunter each had two HR and six RBI. Greinke got a W + eight K for the Amish, who used fourteen different pitchers.

Sofa King Juiced 8, Los Wailoracles 1
Sofa had their best win of the year, sweeping hitting as they hit .322, Ramirez giving them three HR and nine RBI. Kimbrel saved three and fanned nine for them. Zimmerman went deep three times for Los, and Axford saved three, but strikeouts was their only victory in this contest.

warlords 2, Phoenix Platypi 7
The Platypi hung on to fifth by the smallest possible margin, despite a slew of injuries. Gonzalez had three HR and 11 RBI, and Martin three HR and seven RBI. Sanchez got a W + 10 strikeouts. war hit .213 with just 10 RBI; Rodriguez (W + eight K) was their top performer here.

Lil Bitches 9, Whooping Zoidbergs 0

Week 21 Games

AZ SnakePit vs. Sofa King Juiced
Alabama Slammers vs. Bad Wolf
Blonde Streaks vs. Mizzoula Osprey
Lady Gaga Regatta vs. Ignatius J. Rallies
The Fighting Amish vs. Whooping Zoidbergs
warlords vs. Los Wailoracles
Lil Bitches vs. Phoenix Platypi

Lil vs. Phoenix is the Game of the Week, pitting two teams against each other, who both need victory to solidify their play-off position - they are fifth and sixth respectively, but only half a point separate them. When they met in Week 8, the Platypi won 9-0, and a repeat could be devastating to Lil.
