CHICAGO BEEF LEAGUE

Minor technical issue....re-posted!

In another devastating blow to the league, John and Mike won their matchups (ok, fine they were byes). In more important news, Josh UPSETS Jay. Jay's performance was absolutely baffling and he will be reeling for weeks to come in the offseason. Ken beats Suneel with a stronger pitching side. Suneel really should be more careful with Ohtani, he deserves better...Anyway, onto the Semis! We feature our almost always perfect picks and THE BONES have spoken. Listen in to hear the fate of the teams in the Semis!

Week 22 is a wrap, where Battle of Evermore sneakily wins in Gap (vs Jr) and Cambodia Flying Canucks beats Mexikens to win the bat. Aleks is calling for an investigation of the Winnetka Wiccan coalition as there can't possibly be any other explanation for this season's turnout. Obvs. In other news, Mike wins the pick'em in a triumphant comeback over Chip. Onto the Playoffs, where Aleks is inexplicably supporting Suneel (over Ken) and Jr over Jay. Sigh. Let the games begin!

Its almost time for the playoffs. Week 20 is in the books and only one more until stuff gets super-duper real. No fairies were killed in the making here. Chip even makes a fairly coherent statement!

Week 20 wraps and we only have 2 weeks left before the playoffs. The Brute Squad is finally eliminated from the playoff race and that leaves us with 7 teams for 6 spots. The top 4 are separating themselves and vying for the top spot from Phoenix Rises. All the favorites won, so the picks were easy, but Team Sunicle, with the loss to Battle of Evermore, is the 7th team on the outside looking in. We review week 21 matchups and take a peek at how week 22 looks too.

Week 19 is a wrap and Chip (incorrectly) calls Aleks' season over. Somehow Mike storms back with the picks, now tied atop with Chip. We wrapped with week 20 picks (and 21 by mistake) and nonsense for it all to finally end.

I hope you buckle up, we have so much to share with you. We lead off by recapping the highlights of the MLB trade deadline (we disagree on the Dodgers), we discuss the incredibly close week 18, and recap our baseball trip to see games in SF (Giants) & Sacramento (As) with Chip's son Matty. Fun time all around.

We recap the results of week 17 and gloss over Ferni Willow's DESTRUCTION over Trustee Rhino....yea, no one cares about that. We mostly discuss the 4 obvious playoff-bound teams (everyone with me! Phoenix Rises, The Mexikens, Battle of Evermore and Cambodia Flying Canucks) and bicker on how Chip should trade a vet keeper. It was riveting. Not really.

I wrote something snazzy, snappy, and altogether classy here and the Fates decided to overwrite it all with a Refresh. Oh well. We recap week 16 and its short week, and look ahead to the assuredly eventful week 17 matchups. OK look, we did but it wasn't as comical as we hoped. We're doing our best! Enjoy!

We jump right in and immediately recap week 15 (UPSET central!). And because of the MLB All-Star game, week 16 is a short and sweet week. We make predictions and spend a few minutes on the All-Star game, what we liked, didn't, etc. We close with Aleks' battle against his enemies in his backyard, putting MouseBlocker finally to use.

Well, week 14 is a wrap and the playoff picture is fairly clear. The pick'em between Aleks, Mike and Chip is as close as it can be (although, NOT a competition). We evaluate the rash of trades and the BIG upset of the week, but otherwise, we just have fun for a typical Sunday. Isn't THAT special....
