\"BgbFantasyHeadline\"Welcome to our weekly round-up of the BaseballGB Fantasy League competition.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a mixed Head-2-Head league involving BGB writers and readers.<\/em><\/div>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
There are fourteen teams who pair up in different combinations each week, making for seven match-ups in any given week. The teams battle over twelve statistical categories, gaining one point for each category they win.\u00c2\u00a0 All the points are carried over into the season league table at the end of the weekly match-ups. The top six teams with the most points at the end of the fantasy season will go on to the playoffs during the last three weeks of September.<\/em><\/div>\n

SWAT were the victors in the inaugural BGB Fantasy League last year.\u00c2\u00a0 Will they retain their title in 2010, or will a new champion emerge?<\/em><\/p>\n

It will be a tense final week of the regular season in the BaseballGB fantasy league, as a bunch of teams try to book their place in the top six for a chance of winning the championship.<\/strong><\/div>\n

Despite booking his playoff place last week, JJ’s Beck ‘Nams didn’t take their foot off the gas, handing Matt’s Chasers a 7-4 defeat. Pujols, Konerko and Theriot were the pick off JJ’s hitters, while Morrow picked up 21 strikeouts all by himself. JJ will have to come up with a way to replace Morrow though, as Toronto will be shutting him down for the season after his next start. Fielder and Napoli helped the Chasers take RBIs, with Ian Kennedy the pick of the pitchers.<\/div>\n

The Sox handed my Isotopes a 6-5 defeat, which I’ll happily take considering how far behind I was earlier in the week. A lot of the categories ended up very close, but the Sox had the edge thanks to a monster week from Carlos Gonzalez plus great starts from Jackson, Dempster and Floyd. Prado, Cabrera and Hudson were the pick of my players.<\/div>\n

Rounding things up<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
Incredibly, this week’s results mean no other teams confirmed their places in the championship playoffs, with five places up for grabs in the final week of the fantasy regular season. This should result in some extremely tense matchups this week!<\/div>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
As it stands, JJ’s Beck ‘Nams are top, with my Isotopes and Matt’s Chasers level in second and third. The Iron Men, Sox and Vendors currently occupy the final three championship playoff places, but this could easily change as the Stuff are not far behind. The Angels and SWAT will need massive wins and have to hope other teams ahead of the slip up if they are to sneak into the playoffs.<\/div>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
This week’s fixtures are as follows:<\/div>\n
Beck ‘Nams v Vendors<\/div>\n
Isotopes v Bonestalkers<\/div>\n
Chasers v Stuff<\/div>\n
Iron Men v Bats<\/div>\n
Sox v Waves<\/div>\n
Angels v Spaniards<\/div>\n
SWAT v Rip It<\/div>\n
