2008 Benchwarmer Championships

Season one is in the books for the Redbirds League and now we're on to the playoff rounds to crown the first champion.  Brooklyn, Hanso, Prairie, and Alpha Centauri vie for a place in Redbirds history.

 

Musial Conference: Hanso (82-68) vs. Brooklyn (101-49)

On the surface, it appears that Brooklyn is the heavy favorite to win the first Musial Conference title.  That may be so, but it is common in BWB that the top team stumbles before winning it all.  Brooklyn was neck and neck with Manalapan for a while before pulling out to 101 wins.  Hanso had a bit of a closer race in the Smith Division.

 

Season series: Brooklyn won 8 games to 4

League Power Index Rankings: Brooklyn: 1  Hanso: 3

 

Brooklyn Wins in 6 Games

 

Gibson Conference: Alpha Centauri (83-67) vs. Prairie (84-66)

Both of these races were very close, and this series appears to be a close matchup also.  Prairie won the Dean Division by 3 games, while Alpha Centauri came right down to the wire and finished only 1 game ahead of Middle Age in the Slaughter.  During the season, the two teams were pretty close in their head-to-head matchups.

 

Season series: Prairie won 7 games to 5

League Power Index Rankings: Prairie: 2  Alpha Centauri: 6

 

Alpha Centauri Wins in 5 Games

 


BWB CHAMPIONSHIP : Alpha Centauri vs. Brooklyn

Alpha Centauri barely got into the playoffs, and now they're just one step away from the league's first championship.  But standing in their way is the league's top team - Brooklyn.  Alpha Centauri cannot qualify for the Benchwarmer Bash as a wild card - they must win.  But Brooklyn is in regardless of the results here.

 

Season series: Brooklyn won 4 games to 2
