Playoffs are set
It took every night of the season, but the matchups for the Frontier League playoffs have been determined.
The East Division champion Kalamazoo Kings will play the Gateway Grizzlies in one first-round series and the defending champion Windy City ThunderBolts face the Southern Illinois Miners. Windy City edged Southern Illinois for the West Division title.
Kalamazoo defeated Traverse City 4-3 Wednesday night to gain home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
I'm picking Kalamazoo in four games and Windy City in five. I think the Kings have an edge in pitching and speed, plus the power in their lineup negates any advantage Gateway has at hitter-friendly GCS Ballpark. Game 1 in the Windy City-Southern Illlinois series will be the key if it matches the ThunderBolts' Ross Stout (11-3, 2.57) against the Miners' Ryan Bird (13-3, 2.48). I'll side with the ThunderBolts, who have the edge in postseason experience.
I'd love to know who the one person is who voted for Kalamazoo on this blog's poll to win the East Division title. Windy City was the favorite choice in the West.

John McCain came to the ballpark. That is better than the playoffs.
Right Leo?
I used to think Leo was dumb, now I KNOW Leo is dumb. How do you spell dumb at CEP? T-R-I-C-H!!
Chris:
At least this year you don't have to go through the year end snub.
That will be one of the benefits of the Wild Things not making the playoffs.
However, it make some exciting comments on this blog.
Has any one heard if they are going to charge for parking in 2009?
