Down the Stretch they come!

We're in the stretch run of Season 1 right now. Let's see what the situation is in each division.

AL North

The Kansas City Stockade (78-63) are running away with this one, holding a 14 game lead over the St. Louis River Runners (64-77). Milwaukee (59-82) and Minnesota (56-85) have been bruised and mauled all season. Better luck next season!

AL East

Philadelphia (91-50) and New York (91-50) have wreaked havoc on the entire AL this season. An ALDS clash is predestined between these two, barring an absolute collapse by the 5 seed in the playoffs. Pittsburgh (67-74) and Boston (53-88) are dreaming of better days.

AL South

The Charlotte Colonials (77-64) have brought out their muskets and taken control of the rabid AL South. The commissioner's Florida Sizzlers (70-71) have disappointed this season and their playoff hopes are slim at best. Atlanta (64-77) and San Juan (61-80) are being left in the dust.

AL West

The powerful Vancouver Sasquatch (83-58) have taken control of a tight AL West race with their rivals the Seattle Metropolitans (78-63). It's highly probable that both will make the playoffs, so the two might just get to settle the score in the ALDS. Oakland (66-75) and San Francisco (62-79) are currently embarrassing the fans in Northern California.

NL North

Fear Canada! The Montreal Marauders (91-50) have a commanding lead on the division, but the Toronto Toros (73-68) are still in the wild card hunt. The Chicago Red Devils (71-70) and Detroit Faith (69-72) should make it a tight race for the NL North's silver medal.

NL East

All we know for sure is that one mediocre team is going to make the playoffs from this division. Cincinnati (67-74) and Cleveland (65-76) will have a hot rivalry going this season, but it’s not going to be pretty. Washington D.C. (51-90) and Baltimore (40-101) might not understand how the game of baseball works.

NL South

The Honey Badger don’t care, he takes the NL South title. The Houston Honey Badgers (91-50) currently lead, but the Oklahoma City Kingfishers (87-54) are not making it easy for the internet meme to take what he wants. The Texas Armadillos (74-67) are still in the hunt for a wild-card berth as well, and the Mexico City Sombreros (65-76)…well…they have good enchiladas.

NL West

The Arizona RainMakers (87-54) have surprised by taking an 8 game lead over the wild card contending San Diego Aztecs (79-62). Maybe next, they’ll actually make rain appear in Arizona! Los Angeles (66-75) and Honolulu (60-81) are meanwhile floundering somewhere offshore.
