Avast me swabbies, tis time for the playoffs
Arr, Avast ye mateys! It be International Talk Like a Pirate Day today and we be gettin' inta the spirit of things. So today's blog be in Pirate-speak, ye scurvy dogs.
Tomorrow the 2008 DMBL Playoffs begin with the D.C. Bushslappers facin' the Philadelphia Endzone Animals. Now the Animals be winning the season series, but just barrrrrely - 7 games to 6. Interrrrestingly enough, the Animals be much better against the Slappers in the nation's capital, winnin' 4 of 6 there, while only going 3-4 in thar own stadium. Both teams faced each other recently, in D.C., where the Animals took 2 of 3. Philly has outscored the Slappers 69-55 in their 13 games.
Meanwhile, Hillsboro' and Vegas start thar series on Sunday. The two became bitterrr rivals way back before the season when Hitmen owner Brent Campbell stARRted trash talking with Rat Pack owner Eric Wickstrom. The Hitmen own the winnin' record in the season series, takin' 7 of 12. A closer examination of the stats tells a different story. The Hitmen established their dominance early on, winnin' their first 7 games against the Pack, but the Pack rallied back and won their last 5. We all know that the hot team usually prevails in the playoffs - it be all about momentum. Hillsborough outscored the Rats 87-67 over the course of the season.
