The FGM regular season has ended and now the playoffs begin with the AL and NL Wild Card matchups.
In the American League, the 4th seed, Los Angeles Angels (110-52), after many years of rebuilding, find themselves matched up against the 5th seed, Chicago White Sox (105-57), last year's FGM runner-up.
In the National League, the 4th seed is the defending champion Chicago Cubs (109-53) pitted against the 5th seed, San Francisco Giants (106-56). The Giants edged the Milwaukee Brewers by a single game to be a part of the Wild Card Round.
More to come as the Wild Card Round unfolds regarding the ALDS/NLDS, the ALCS/NLCS and the FGM World Series.

Looks like Tanaka is back just in time for a revenge matchup! :toast:

The Wild Card matchups were not competitive in either league, as the Angels and Cubs doubled the scores of their opponents. Thus, both #5 seeds, the White Sox and Giants have been eliminated, with the Angels and Cubs advancing to the Division Series against the #1 seeds. Here are the ALDS and NLDS matchups:
ALDS Matchups:
#4 Los Angeles Angels vs #1 Baltimore Orioles
#3 Detroit Tigers vs #2 Seattle Mariners
NLDS Matchups:
#4 Chicago Cubs vs #1 Philadelphia Phillies
#3 St. Louis Cardinals vs #2 Los Angeles Dodgers
Note: Tiebreaker for non-division teams is points scored
Phillies are NL #1 seed because of most points scored.

My team waits until the playoffs to fall apart. Everyone is hurt and the other starters are being benched this week. Go figure! :doh:

Injuries, call-ups, and "slumps" are the variables which govern all of us "fantasy geeks". Last week the Cubs destroyed my Giants because Hoskins led a hitting barrage that culminated in 1500 total points. This week, with two days to go, they have a 70 point lead with only 702 points! (Sorry papps!) Meanwhile, last week, my Giants had three starters on the DL, and although the pitching matchup was a wash, the Cubs cruised to victory with their hot hitters. Not an excuse, just an example of how the Fantasy Gods toy with us.
With that, I recall that last season, my Giants finished strong. I was pretty confident after the Wild Card matchup, but then, for whatever reason, all of my players forgot how to hit and were unceremoniously bounced out of the playoffs by these same Cubs. Such is the way for all of us as we watch our teams jump on the wild ride of the playoffs. Heartburn and frustration aside, it's safe to say, we wouldn't have it any other way.
Now, in our current Division Series, with two days to go until the next round, the Orioles and Dodgers seem comfortably assured of advancing, with the other two matchups in doubt. Here's what we got:
American League
DET 512 vs SEA 676
LAA 734 vs BAL 1291
National League
CHC 702 vs PHI 632
STL 339 vs LAD 1119

Cubbies are getting lucky at just the right time. Hoskins plus all of our pitchers finally coming off the DL last week is making for a competitive playoffs!
-
At this point the Dodgers are officially "Cautiously Optimistic". We've been in this position before and it hasn't worked out well!
-
My Phillies are an absolute disgrace. So thrilled my team waited until the playoffs to have our worst week of the season. Typical Phillies.
Good luck to the teams still in it! Great season guys.

I feel the same. The injuries and 'buzzsaw' hit me the first month of the year. By the time Tampa recovered, I was too far out. Needless to say, Tampa turned into a big seller which was very disappointing. Next year, we hope to make some serious noise in the AL East.

The Angels, Tigers, Cardinals, and Phillies are to be congratulated for a fine season. It is encouraging to see the Angels and Tigers reach the Division Series. As frustrating as it is for the Phillies, they are a team who went through a rebuilding period and are now a perennial playoff team. The Cardinals have been a competitive team for awhile and are a former FGM Champion. But, as valiant as their efforts were, they were unable to advance any further.
Here are the four teams who have advanced to the Conference Series.
Conference Series Matchups
American League
#2 Seattle Mariners vs #1 Baltimore Orioles
National League
#4 Chicago Cubs vs #2 Los Angeles Dodgers

After four days of play, the ALCS is turning out to be a real battle with only 15 points separating the Mariners and Orioles. Going into the weekend the Orioles have 4 SPs set to go whereas the Mariners only have one. A good battle to say the least!
In the NLCS, it's a much different story. The Cubs Cinderella season seems to be coming to a close as the Dodgers hitters have come alive! The Dodgers hold a 700+ points lead, and with the Cubs bats being rather silent, things look bleak for the defending Champion.
Three days of play to see who will be in the 2017 FGM World Series!
-
Two more days of play and the Mariners are holding fast, increasing their lead to 100 points--will the mighty fall in the ALCS? The Orioles pitching advantage is gone with two abysmal SP performances yesterday. Each team has two SPs left and it's beginning to look like upset city.
In the NLCS, the Dodgers have continued lighting it up and have now doubled up on the suddenly hapless Cubs. Surprisingly, the Cubs hold a 100 point advantage in pitching, but the Dodgers hitters have offset that by crushing the Cubs by 800+ points.
Two more days--stay tuned!
-
The 2017 FGM World Series will be a battle of the #2 seeds! In the American League, the #2 seed Seattle Mariners ran away from the #1 seed Baltimore Orioles on the final day of their ALCS match-up and secured their spot in a two week showdown with the National League winner Los Angeles Dodgers.
For the Dodgers, they advanced to the World Series by overpowering the #4 seeded Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers will attempt to become the first 3-time champion--after winning in 2010 and 2011.
We'd be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the great seasons had by the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago Cubs. Shooter47 has built a tremendous team and the Orioles will be a team to reckon with for many more years. Jpmanchester has also built a team that will also continue to compete at a high level for some time. Both GMs have done a yeoman's job and are models for others to emulate.
As for the Mariners and Dodgers, both teams are hot and peaking at the right time. Our 2017 World Series should be a lot of fun to watch.
Good luck to both teams!!!

Good luck Rick! It should be a fun series. Hopefully, I can hang with the big boys!

Good luck in the series guys! Two great owners with great teams! :toast:

Don't look now, but someone has jumped out to a 380+ lead in the World Series and it isn't the home team!
-
Four days to go and we find Seattle stretching it's lead over the Dodgers to 400+ points. The clock is ticking!

Three days to go and the Dodgers' deficit has increased to 500+.
Is it too much to overcome? We'll know in 3 days!

We're into the final weekend of the season, and the Mariners are maintaining their 500+ point lead over the Dodgers. It's looking like the 2017 FGM Champion will come out of the AL West.

I guess my hitters didn't get the memo that the WS lasts TWO weeks.
Congrats 'jayhawks; very well played!
-
Congratulation to ldsjayhawks and his Mariners for their World series win against the LA Dodgers!
Started out to be a really good series until the second week. My Dodgers just couldn't hold and fell to a better team.
Bask in the glory 'hawks, you've earned it!
-
Congrats to Seattle!!! Great season to LA as well!
-
Outstanding series win by the Mariners!
Congrats to Kris and his team!
Good job to the Dodgers for making it this far.
