NOTES:

 

Team Name Change: John’s has decided to call his team the Vernon Hillbillies. The code for them will be VRN.

 

SSB defeats COL in 1-game tie-breaker: SSB and COL finished tied for their division with 89 wins and so a 1-game tie-breaker was played between them. Like real MLB, that considered to be game 163 of the regular season.

 

Congratulations to Playoff Teams: JEF and CIA are the division winners with first round byes; DUB and SSB are the other two division winners, and NDF and ACC earned wild card berths.

 

2008 Playoffs:

 

Wildcard Round: ACC at DUB and NDF at SSB (note that ACC, DUB, and NDF have 1 day off between the end of the regular season and their first playoff game, but SSB has no off day due to the playing of the 1-game tie breaker).

 

Divisional Playoff Championship Round: ACC/DUB winner at CIA; NDF/SSB winner at JEF

 

World Series: Championship Round winners at home of team with better record.
