TEAM STANDINGS AS OF AUGUST THE 5th , 2009

TEAMS            G.P.   W    L   T    FOR    AGNST    +/-   POINTS

1.	HAWKS     14    10    4   0     93         58       35   
     28

     7
Possibilities :
1.	The Athletics cannot finish better than fifth and therefore
will face the 2nd place finishers in their opening round best
of 3 quarter final series “A” , Monday August 17th at 7 PM in
Azilda at the Rick McDonald Memorial Park
2.	The Hawks need a tie or a victory in their final 4 point game
against the Cardinals on Monday August the 10th in Azilda to
clinch first place , the Commissioner’s Cup and a bye to the
second round semi finals.
3.	 i) Should the Hounds win their remaining two games (one a
four point game) , they could finish with 20 points and second
place.
ii) Should the Cardinals win their two remaining games (one a
four point game against the Hawks) , they could potentially finish
with 19 points at best and possibly second ,third or fourth position.
iii) Should the North Stars win their remaining three games (one
a four point game against the Hounds ) they could potentially
finish with 20 points and also second place or third or fourth
.
The remaining games become very important since the highest seeded
loser in quarter final action gets a second life (page system)
and would play the fisrt place finisher in a second round semi
final match up.At the moment , should the Hawks lose their final
four point game against the Cardinals on August the 10th and
the North Stars win their remaining three games (one a four point
affair) , there would be a tie for first place and therefore
the North Stars would retain first place and the Commissioner’s
Cup pon a tie breaker (the North Stars head to head defeated
the Hawks three times out of four)
There are other remaining battles to be decided:
A]  The pitching crown : presently Jordy “Swede” Dahlvick  of
the North Stars leads the parade with a 4-0 record and an ERA
of  2,00 ; he is followed by Al Guenette of the Hawks with a
record of 3-1 and a league leading ERA of  1,47 . Should Jordy
not suffer any defeats in any remaining stars (the North Stars
have three games to go) , he’ll become this year’s top pitcher
for 2009.
B]  At the moment , catcher Curtis Hambly of the Cardinals leads
all hitters with an average of  636 (21 for 33) which puts him
63 percentage points ahead of Jim Pawis of the Hawks at   575
(23 for 40). The next closest is Robbie Edwards at 516 ( 16 for
31) and he will finish with that being away for the next 14 days
. So it’s a fight between Jim and Curtis .
C] Todd Parsons of the Hounds leads the way with 5 home runs
.Three other players are right behind him with four each.
D] Two are tied at 6  in doubles
E]  Mike Cain of the North Stars leads in triples with 3
F]  Jason Green of the Hawks leads in RBI’S with 19
G] Cuirtis Hambly of the Cardinals leads in On base % with  786
H] Robbie Edwards leads with 1 033 Slugging %

   The final five rainouts (two four point games) should make
the end of the season very interesting. Many things up for grabs.
