Of all the ways this bracket could have landed I think it shook out about as good as we could have asked for. Of the 4 teams we lost to this year, 3 of them (JJ's, Ballz Deep, Balco) are on the other side of the bracket. The one remaining team we lost to is Park Tavern, but we have shown we can beat them (15-13 in Week 2) and the other two games were pretty tight, albeit low scoring (2-6 in Week 5 and 5-8 in Week 7). Our first round matchup is against Gold Nugget, a team we have beaten multiple times (22-5, 20-15, 19-9) and seam to have good success against at the plate. We cannot take them lightly though, as there is a chance they will bring in ringers like last year when they made a big splash the first week of playoffs scoring like 80 runs in 2 games. Our best bet will be to get up on them early, take away any hopes they may have for an upset, get everyone swinging good and then carry that momentum into the Park Tavern were I will take our chances against those douche bags. Those guys weren't around last year, and they probably have no idea of how to handle the pressure that comes with playoff softball in a league like this....especially against a team of hardened veterans who also just happen to be the defending champs. Seriously though, there are usually a few crazy upsets in the playoffs, lets make sure we are on the good side of those games.
