August 21, 2010: Midwest League Playoff Pitcure

I realize that I am following up a post that was titled Most Optimistic Headline Ever!...EVER! with a post about the current second playoff standings in the Midwest League's Western Division.

It is my self-awareness that is one of my most charming traits...

Or so I tell myself.

Anyway....

Remember, Cedar Rapids and Quad Cities are already in the playoffs.  So, the top two teams in the standings below are fighting for the two second half playoff spots.  Top team in the second half plays Quad Cities in the first round.  Wild Card in the second half gets Cedar Rapids in the first round.
