Islington Bracket
Adrian:
Let's start our Neighborhood Rumble
previews with the Islington manager who most needs a win. Adrian has
had a very, very disappointing season thus far, but it's a marathon,
not a sprint, and boy is this kid good at marathons. Adrian
currently sits in last place, 20.5 games out of a playoff spot.
Adrian hasn't won a matchup since (you can look this up if you want,
it's totally true) Week 1. This has to be the worst stretch of
fantasy baseball in league history. Adrian is riding his hottest
streak of the year, a 9-11 stretch with one tie and one loss, into
the tournament. Even his two week stretch in which he won his only
game was not as good as this current two game stretch. He won 5-4
then lost 7-3, going 8-11 overall. Adrian's current 9-11 stretch is
his best two weeks of the year. Just.. like.. how?
Overall: 47-90-3. Vs. Islington:
19-40-1
Alex:
Unfortunate circumstances led Alex to
Islington, but he was welcomed with open arms by his neighborhoodmen;
enjoying nights under the lights at Morrison, raw cookie dough and
Cokes in Colin's basement and the sweet, sweet taste of the Islington
Pizza chicken finger dinner. It would be an injustice to how bad
Adrian's season has been to say that Alex is only one spot ahead of
Adrian in the standings; So, instead we will say that Alex is 14
games ahead of last place Adrian and only 6.5 out of a playoff spot.
Alex has played bully this season, with his only three matchup wins
coming against each of the other three teams currently out of the
playoff picture. He hasn't won since Week 10 against Adrian and has
gone 14-25 in the four weeks since. Alex has not fared well against
his Islington opponents, but posted a winning record against
Westwood, with 2 of his 3 wins and both of his ties coming against
Westwood.
Overall: 59-74-7. Vs. Islington:
28-46-6
Colin:
The overwhelming favorite in the
Islington bracket is coming off a win. That's one of the most
surprising things I've typed today. Colin is coming off only one
win. He's won 9 of 14 weeks, but two weeks ago lost 9-1 to TJ in the
matchup of neighborhood leaders. Prior to that, he had not lost
since week 4. Not much else to say here, Colin has been really good.
Overall: 81-58-8. Vs. Islington:
38-18-4
Kurt:
Kurt has been captain inconsistency,
but when you look a little deeper he may just be the best bad team.
Looking at this season there are a lot of bad teams. Teams 4-7 are a
combined 3 games above .500. Kurt lost three weeks in a row, going
7-21 before feasting on the 8th and 9th place
teams 13-5 in the two weeks leading up to the tournament.
Overall: 68-63-9. Vs. Islington:
30-26-4
Tim:
The league's newcomer has been very
good in his debut season, currently sitting in 5th place
after an 8-2 win over Jarrett. Despite Tim's success, he has yet to
not lose 3 weeks in a row. Following wins, Tim has gone 1-3-1, but
comes into the tournament having tied and won his last two weeks.
Statistics indicate that he will lose this week. Prove statistics
wrong, Tim! However, Tim does have the second best record against
Islington.
Overall: 68-64-8 Vs. Islington:
37-22-1
