If the playoffs started today...

In the playoffs, I think we'll all be praying for the right match ups.

We probably don't want to see Seattle or Batavia, while a team like Seattle would probably pass on seeing NY or Philly. Seeding and HFA may hold a little more importance in this format.

It's going to be huge. I like the change. Can't wait.

I'm actually worried the bye teams might become rusty??

For the first time since I am in charge of the Sharks I might prefer PITT to MOR or LA as we are manhandling them 8-1 this year so far...

I bet is going to be a 4-0 for PITT to knock us out of the play offs...

22 games remaining and looking at our schedule (9 Home / 13 Away) this week vs. Batavia and at Seattle could make or break our playoff hopes.

[Pat]

I'm not sure if it's because of the expanded playoffs, or the races are just really close or because it's my first season back, but this seems like the most exciting pennant race I can remember. I also feel like both leagues lack a clear "favorite."

Format has something to do with it and so does the newness but we had some good races and so were some others

Of course we have...

This one just feels WIDE open.

[Sharkn20]

It feels good leading the BLB in power ranki gs for the 3rd time this season... I don't think we will hold PAW at the end of this week-SIM though

[bparks1987]

We can't seem to close the gap in the WC. I'd love to have those 3 games at home against NO mean something for us. Fan interest and season ticket sales are up, but attendance is down. It'd be great to sell those games out and bring the playoff atmosphere back to Wilmington.

Agree on no clear favorites, but wide open not so much especially in the DL.

IL, yeah the Stout as most predicted has been nuts. These teams stood to lose the most since the realignment as a 3rd division with a few of these teams in it would seem a bit more fair. As a fan not involved in that division.....its been fun to watch. If I was a fan with a team in that division I'd have a heart attack bitching about the other divisions.

Bock is a two man race.

DL realistically is 5 teams jocking for pole positions all season while 3-4 jerk off teams who will probably win between 80-83 games gets a shot at the last playoff spot. Knowing this game they probably end up knocking the #1 wildcard team for reasons unknown.

I think its more the newness of the new divisions and of course the extra playoff spot in each league. We've had many great races in the 3 team set-up and countless Lonnie Coleman games on the last day of the season.

Should be a fun post-season. I really dont know who is gonna win this.
