2007 Season
REGULAR SEASON (playoff results at end of page)
COMMENTS: The Mets and Dodgers are locked up in a 1-game playoff, edging the Marlins
and Brewers by one game each. The Padres and Braves finished strong, with a collective
13-1 record to seal their divisions. Congrats to the Marlins, Brewers, Reds, and DBacks
for great seasons. The AL had 3 100-win teams (compared to zero in real MLB). The
DRays finished with a winning week to lock up the airtight WOR standings. Congrats to
the Rangers, who finished with the best record in the AL this week.
PLAYOFFS: The Met/Dodger game will be played Thursday; that will set NL matchups.
Playoff lineups are due Friday night; games will be run Saturday. Lineup changes
should be emailed to Jon by Sunday; LCS games will be run Monday and World Series
games on Wednesday, one week from today. In the AL, the Yanks play the Tigers and
the Indians draw the Angels. Based on the WOR tiebreaker, the Angels have home field
advantage.
RULES: The 1-game playoff will continue the ML season. For the playoffs, all stats
are reset (no overuse or adjustments) and a 3-man rotation may be used without penalty.
DCS series are 5 games in the 2-2-1 format, LCS and WS series are 7 games with a 2-3-2
format. Owners in the playoffs should use the website to complete their initial roster
and email Jon to indicate if they want a 4-man rotation (which has starter #1 pitch in
game 5).

P L A Y O F F S
Division Championship Series
Padres top Mets, 3-2. After taking a 2-1 series lead,
the Mets dropped the last 2 games of the series while allowing
6 and 8 runs in the last 2 games. Just like in real life,
the pitching collapsed.
Atlanta sweeps St. Louis. The Cards scored 4 or more runs in
every game of the series, but couldn’t allow fewer than 7 in any
game. Congrats to the Braves on a great season!
Angels tip Indians, 3-2. The Angels and Indians traded games,
with the Angles winning the odd-numbered games and the Indians
winning the even ones. Kelvim Escobar struck out 11 in the
decisive 5th game.
Yankees get past Detroit, 3-1. After taking a 10-5 beating in
game 1, the Yankees scored 10 or more runs in each remaining game.
ARod had 3 hits, a homer, and 3 RBI in the clincher.
League Championship Series
Yankees beat Angels, 4-1. After dropping game 1 7-4, the
Yankees held the Halos to 4 runs or fewer to seal the deal
in 5 games. Just to show they were better than that, the
Angels out-scored the Yanks 15-5 in the 2 consolation games.
The Braves and Padres had an epic series. After Atlanta won
the first 3 games going away, the Padres squeaked by on a 2-1
score in game #4, then won the next 2 to force a game 7. In that
battle, AJ Burnett and 3 relievers walked 11 batters but out-dueled
Jake Peavy 1-0.
World Series
The question going into the playoffs was: Can anyone beat
the Yankees? The answer was evidently no. After dropping
the first 2 games, the Braves fought back to even up the
series. The Yanks then unleashed their hitters and scores
18 runs in 18 innings to win the series in 6.
Congrats to the Yanks, who had the best record in the league
and also added the series title. Congrats to Treff of the Braves,
who made his first World Series appearance and 6th playoff
appearance overall.
And thanks to all for a great year!
