Nightly Playoff Picture
Atlantic - According to Daily Results, PFN blew a 3-1 lead over 8BallRunners as they apparently rallied for an upset win. According to some people I talked to, PFN hardly had anyone for the match. -_- Anyways, Runners are now 4-6, which moves them within a half-game of LPL, who of course are expected to win this week so it's likely still going to stay a 1-game lead, but stranger things have happened. ElitePool still has a respectable chance to beat SuperbPool, but if I hear right that kl2istian is captain, I can't honestly expect a lot of success.
Central - Things getting uh...Interesting at the top of this Division, and of course the likely 5-5 3-way tie is so much fun to think about. But how about PoolFiction? 8-0, they're now 8-2. The team has struggled for the past 3-5 weeks, it caught up to them and now...It's REALLY caught up to 'em. They're now holding a half-game lead over Quez for the Division lead, and they've got BritPool this week who can't get a big lead without completely blowing it worse than the Yankees last year. We're looking down the business end of an 8-2 tie at the top of the Central, if QZ can run off a 7th consecutive win this week. Oh...Not interested yet? QZ @ PFN next week! Are we looking at the Central Division Championship match next week? I think so.
Pacific - Skipping the Mountain because the top team pimpslapped their opponents, and the bottom team got smoked. Only issue there is AF's increasing lead. But how about the Pacific? Mick and I talked about it this morning. PF has a much easier schedule down the stretch than the Regs do. Regs still need to get through HS, BS, and PL. They share the common opponents AbsoluteFinest. I've said in the past I think the Regs have the Division. Yes they only need to stay level with PF, no I don't think they can do that. PF is 8-2 without Luis at all their matches. That says something. Now Bearskins are 3-4, but you need to remember also: They are potentially, certainly not likely, but potentially 6-4. If they take 2 of the 3 makeup matches they're due to play, and I think they can reasonably beat CHP LKP and HS mind you, with HS of course being the least likely to lose to BE, they'd really help themselves out BIG TIME.
All that is just Monday, Week 10. Can you even imagine what'll be brewing in the final 3rd of this season? Heck, just this week alone? If you even attempt to follow all the bonkers action in the Standings in an MLP Season, you've got a hell of a tough job. So, that's why I'm here. To piss people off, and still keep them interested and informed. I'm kinda like...I dunno, Jim Rome? Except he's funnier. And cooler....And smarter...And dumber looking...Oh well.
