D.C. is hearing footsteps behind them. That's because the Hired Hitmen have crept up to 2 games behind the Bushslappers. (As an aside, will there be a name change for the D.C. team next season after the Slappee has vacated the office?) D.C. has dropped three in a row, including the last two to Hillsborough, allowing the Hitmen a chance to move up in the standings to the fifth spot. But is that a good thing for the Hitmen? If the season ended today, the Hitmen would play the Rat Pack in the first round of the playoffs. But if they moved up to fifth and all other things remained the same (and they realistically will), they would play the Endzone Animals. The Hitmen are 7-5 this season against the Rat Pack, while they are a mere 2-8 against the Animals. Maybe the Hitmen should rein it in a little. Not too much though...Tampa Bay is still alive - probably the only team outside the playoff spots that has a realistic chance - and only 3 1/2 games behind Hillsborough.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the standings, the Mighty Men's front office is looking on with panic as their team seems to be climbing out of the basement, winning 6 games of the last 7. After finding out that owner David Landsman is trying to intentionally tank the season so he can move the franchise to Miami, manager Graig Nettles has found a new way to inspire his club. He had a cardboard cutout of Landsman in a Speedo bathing suit made up and said for every win, he will cover up a piece of the cutout. "Maybe the problem is... we're coddling these guys too much" said Landsman after cutting off the electricity in the players' locker room.
