Sim run up to September 1 tonight. Again, bullet points of interest.
In the Platonic League, Pittsburgh is on a four game winning streak and has extended its wild card lead to 6.5 games over Maryland. Looks more and more as though it will be a rematch of last year's League Championship series between the Pisces and Seattle.
In the Socratic League, Helena has claimed the wild card lead, passing Jersey City. Brooklyn still has a 3.5 game division lead, now over Helena. Jersey City is now one game behind Helena and 4.5 behind Brooklyn.
Winnipeg has a 3.5 game "lead" on the #1 draft pick next year.
In the big series, Helena and Pittsburgh split the last two games of their series while Seattle took two from Jersey City. Brooklyn and Maryland also split their two game set.
No injuries of significance to the playoff race.
Seattle's George Pullum and Brooklyn's Miyatorou Takenao (still hitting .402) were named Player of the Month for August. Sylva's Robert Gaertner and Brooklyn's Thomas Fleenor took home the pitching honors.
Helena and Jersey City both threw shut outs in the final August game, while Marietta topped Seattle 13-10. Helena also scored 13 in crushing Pittsburgh on August 26.
Helena's ace starter Joseph "Happy" Diederich has 19 wins (19-2 overall) and will tie Gaby Duran's record with another victory.
The rosters have expanded now, so feel free to call up your tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to be in the big leagues.

In other news, the general manager for the Helena Handbaskets expressed his eternal gratitude to the Seattle Ministry of Silly Walks yesterday, after Seattle took 3 of 4 games in its recent series with the Jersey City Skeeters, Helena's chief wild card rival. "We couldn't have taken the wild card lead without Seattle's help," Helena GM Mike Bateman said. Bateman explained, "We have some talent, sure. But sometimes it takes luck, in the form of help from a superior team, to get us where we need to go. For that, we are eternally grateful." After a short pause, Bateman added, "and Seattle's GM is just dreamy."
Helena,
You may get some more help from the leaders of the PL as SL leading Brooklyn prepares to host Pittsburgh and Seattle in a 6 game homestand starting on the 2nd. Bad news for you is that Brooklyn has a winning record against each of them. The end of this season is going to be a doozy.
