[IBL] Craziness Scenarios

[Doug Palmer]

Much to the enjoyment of many, the *Nightmare Scenario *is still alive.

With four games left to be played (MCM at POR G2 & G3, MAD @ BAL G3 and BAL @
MCM G3), the standings are:

BAL 88 wins (2 games left)
POR 87 wins (2 games left)
MAD 87 wins (1 game left)
MCM 86 wins (3 games left)

If POR and MCM split their last 2 games and if BAL loses both to MAD and
MCM, we've got 4 teams with 88 wins!!!!

Now, if Jake Arrieta can pitch like his card implies (Arrieta throws both
of BAL's remaining games).  But it IS the Crabs, so we know how that will
play out.

IBL 2016.....it's Fantastic!
