Monday Night Predictions

I "hate" to post on top of your last post cubby, but it's that time of the week and I need to get my predictions out there so when i go 5-0 everyone will believe me :) So whats monday night got in store for you people? Oh me, oh my the first 3 or 4 matches of the night are gunna be dandy's. The first 3 are between teams I picked to make playoffs. Perhaps an upset or 2 would give a team the psychological edge heading into the post-season! Ok, enough rambling, let's analyse.

7pm---8BR @ QZ (Bad Apples) : Score: 5-2 QZ
Qz Lookout: xlx_propooler_xlx & P_a_u_l_1
8BR Lookout: bongman420_ & LuckyCandi
Why?: With the additions of Miz and JJ this team should go over the top. On the other end of the the spectrum 8BR is tied w/ UP for that coveted 4th in the Atlantic. Unfortunately for UP, their last 4 matches are most likely gunna be 4 losses. Meanwhile 8BR should be able to win a few down the stretch securing 8th in the American League.

7pm --- PO @ DP (Adv. Lounge 3) : Score: 5-2 PO
DP Lookout: Super_Mario_64_ & _Pascal_
PO Lookout: MVPMJ & revolutionizingthegame
Why?: Rob and Pascal are prolly 2 of the few that'll give any PO players trouble....GG's TYFP PO now 11-1, While DP falls to 7-5.
Umpire: reg_Master_Asia

8pm --- AF @ PF (Advanced Lounge) : Score: 5-2 PF (notice a trend?)
PF Lookout: aka_cerebro & the_hure
AF Lookout: fire_wolf87 & RvDBLADE
Why?: AF trying to avoid their first multi-game losing streak of the season; unfortunately they've run into the train named Poolfighters. Af won't avoid the loss and PF's gunna keep on truckin'. Poolfighters will be +7 and 1/2 game up on Regs, who play BS tuesday. With REG, PL and PM still on AF's schedule it looks like a tough final few weeks for this team.

8pm --- BP @ SP (When the Levee Breaks) : Score: 5-2 SP
SP Lookout: paris_in_flamez & T_Rocket
BP Lookout: river_blake & slavko74
Why?: Well, if blake and slavko show up this may just end up being a match. If not, expect SP to steamroll them, espcially since SP sits just 2 games back of XP for that final playoff spot. Then again, @ 3-8 BP also sits 2 games back of 8BR and UP for the final playoff spot in the Atlantic. The win vs an SS team that Cubby picked to make playoffs on Saturday also gave BP a glimmer of hope for playoffs. Who would've thought a 3-8 team in week 12 would still have a legit chance to make playoffs?

9pm --- BA @ PL (Afraid to Lose) : Score: 6-1 PL
PL Lookout: LuckyDog71 & hi.1103
BA Lookout: errrr Ump, Timer please?
Why?: The loss last week really hurt PL but their still only 2 games behind BBM for 4th in the Pacific. A Win shouldn't be too much to ask for here, right guys? RIGHT!?!? Meanwhile, at 1-10 BA is just playin the season out, as they have been for a while now =

Ok well, that wraps up Monday Night. Some decent looking matches headin' your way Tuesday as well so stay tuned. Rumour is a sexy someone is making his return to Umping @ 9pm in the HS @ TP match as well =)

Good Luck all leagues on Monday!

Which sets up a little QZ-PH matchup assuming Ryan and I are both right...Ha...Could you imagine Chelsea AND PH doing it? Geez...Kinda like PFN and the Red Sox...And the Pats ;) Anyways...Like Ryan did at the end of his post (btw guess who he asked for assistance :D) The lowest seed ever to reach the World Series was PoolFiction at #3, in Season 3, they lost in 3, Theike's mental age is 3. :) The reason I say watch that PM-LKP match is because there's a little gorwing speculation as to how well Pm will adjust to Cam. There are players in PM who have no problem with it, but a player like mrsr, who has trouble with cam on the comp., may be distracted a bit or taken out of the match completely. And really, with all these silly requirements THAT is an opponent bigger than any top 7 you could possibly think of in MLP. Factor in work schedules, family issues, events, storms, whatever, Cam Rules are going to be the biggest factor in just about every match. Someone told me they saved YPool by bringing in that idea...I'd say ya half-killed it and saved its soul if anything.
