I hope the Franklinsteins are returning to their dominant ways....

Illiniwek's Ben Franklinsteins have clinched, and my Liberals continue their lucky streak, alone in 2nd in the standings despite being 6th in points (including being 130 points behind the Cranksters, currently one spot out of the playoffs in 7th).

Morrell Park has been surging like Money's man David Oh. Each will discover his respective fate shortly after Thanksgiving...

Meanwhile, nobody's giving any charity to the Panhandlers, who are in a dead tie for 3rd at the moment with Kramerica Industries, and Morrell Park and the Dead Milkmen right behind, also tied on results but behind on points.

The Fight Club seems to be down for the count, ahead of our out-of-town guests Battery Park & the Chunks.

The trade completion deadline is Friday; with our two-day league review delay, that means offers need to be accepted by tomorrow. So if you have a hot trade to make, offer it now!

I dont want want to even think about it. Its been a disastrous slide.

We know two are in, and we know three are out.

That leaves five teams for four slots.

Choose your lineups carefully!

Well, we've got our playoff teams. The dross has sunk to the bottom, and the cream has risen to the top, if I do say so myself.

And I do.

(A little trash talk really is the only prize here. Forgive me for indulging.)

Well, it looks like the real cream his risen to the top, as Morrell Park takes down last year's champion -- me. Congrats.

The first year I played, I won the championship.

The second year, I came in second.

Since this is my third year, I guess I better make sure I win third place.

Knocking off a prior champ...proves that luck does exist with the help of some snow.
