MLB Suicide Game: Let the Madness Ensue…

If you are a fan of suicide game drama, then last night was just what the doctor ordered.  Our leader dropped back and SEVEN people chasing him all won, giving us an unbelievable 8-way tie with 2 to play.

IN THE LEAD (8) – controlling their own destiny
-Dannell (Nationals-L) takes a big loss (with his winningest team of the year), bringing him back to the pack
-Bry (Marlins) picks up his 18th NLE win and overall best 55th NL win
-GregDoc (Marlins) improves to a huge 16-5 in the NLE
-GrossJr (Marlins) wins his 3rd MIA game, one shy of CHW and SF for most of any team
-Josh (Marlins) evens his MIA record at 1-1 and his NLE record at 8-8
-Mittenthal (A’s) hits a really nice pick here to get him back into the lead
-Pat (Phillies) went all-or-nothing, as he went head-to-head with Dannell, winning his first PHI pick of the year to tie for the lead
-Scott (Marlins) wins his overall-leading 20th NLE game (only Bry with 23 NLC wins has more wins from a single division)

ONE GAME BACK (5) – need two straight wins and some help
-RyanDoc (Nationals-L) falls to 9-8 in the NLE, picking up a huge L here to fall off the pace
-Boot (Astros), with only 2 days left, makes HOU the last team all year to give someone a win – they were 0-9 before last night
-Kevin (Marlins) improves to 15-5 in the NLE (6 more wins than any other division)
-McGrath (Blue Jays) improves to 8-2 in the ALE, including 2-0 with those Canadians, eh?
-RyanSmith (Marlins) evens his MIA record at 2-2 and picks up his 12th NLE win of the year

TWO GAMES BACK (2) – in need of a miracle
-Aaron (Marlins) wins his first MIA pick of the year, improving to 13-4 in the NLE
-Chad (D’backs-L) falls to 0-2 with ARI (joining PIT, TEX, and CHW as his only 2-time losers)
* – these two now have a best-case scenario of being part of a 9-way tie, which would require an absolute miraculous series of events

MATHEMATICALLY ELIMINATED:
Dan, Jayson, MattK, Rohde, Steve, Stumpf, Tyler, Walsh, Wojo
