Completely falling apart down the stretch, with a combined 16-46 in the last several days. I went from having a pretty good chance at the top 5 to being lucky to finish top 10.

I'm just hoping to stay in the top 24.

Well, it probably won't last, but for a few hours, I can say I was in first place overall.

I had noticed several of your teams on hot streaks, but you can thank me later for not posting about it and jinxing you.

I did a good job with my bullpens this round. There have been no major fatigue issues, and 5 of my closers have 30 saves or more. I’m stuck at 428 wins after a Mauch in the pm session but I’m still on track to hit 431 soon. I’m in 23rd place so I might not finish last.

My teams suck all of a sudden

This may come down to who wins more WS between the top 3. Very exciting

Win number 431 arrived with three games to spare. I put my o/u at 439, but I would only bet the over if I get the push on 439.

Stumbling to the finish with back-to-back 1-5 showings, but somehow we managed to clinch a 3rd playoff spot in there so there's no suspense in Game 162.

First place lasted < 5 hours.

Based on my round 1 playoff performance (5 playoff teams for only 18 points), it's really a 2-person race.

(The average playoff points for round 1 participants with 5 teams = 37 points, excluding me).

A well-timed Schwarze in game 161 included clinching my third playoff spot...

I'll have two playoff teams....and then four teams that are a combined 90 games under .500.

I had a good shot at 5 playoff (outside shot at all 6) with after about 2 3rds of the season complete. 2 of my teams fizzled out with about 30 games left(I kinda expected 1 of those). 1 team completely choked down the stretch, including going 1-3 in the last series of the season against a 100 loss team. After 162 games I only clinched 2 spots with 2 play-in games coming up. Very disappointing considering where I was sitting not that long ago.

Just trying to help you get bonus wins in those play-in games, miles.
