With a few days off from work, I'm making my way quickly through baseball games. Now at the midpoint of Season 8, the Canaries remain in the cellar at 3-9, but the other three teams -- the Blue Legs, Haymakers, and Resolutes -- are all tied for first place at 7-5. Most likely, two of these three teams will meet in the best-of-five Creighton Cup championship series. Which ones? All three are flawed. The Haymakers have a shoddy defense and their pitchers (aside from Cy Young and Amos Rusie) have been prone to meltdowns, the Resolutes are benefiting from the whims of good fortune (a .583 record but a run differential that suggests they should have a.489 winning percentage), and the Blue Legs are suffering through the worst stretch of injuries I've ever seen in a Strat-O-Matic season. With newly acquired ace Tim Keefe pitching like it's Season 2 again, the Blue Legs are perhaps the favorites, but will injuries completely derail their chances before the season's end?
