Bracketology: May 4

It's time for one of the favorite activities of the Mudcat blog: trying to figure out when we might play in the postseason. Earlier today, Coach Sean emailed out a postseason bracket, which can also be found on the West Raleigh website.

After looking at the Minor League standings, the 'Cats could finish anywhere from first to fourth. That means we could play on...yep...any of the first four days. One thing we do know, though, is that if the Riverdogs happen to defeat the All Blacks tomorrow, that would seal the regular season championship for the 'Dogs. For your scheduling purposes, that means the most important consequence would be that the Mudcats could not play on Monday, May 14. However, a Mudcats win would give the 'Cats the tiebreaker over the Riverdogs and would leave the regular season title still undecided.

For your reference, the remaining games for the top four teams in the standings are:

Riverdogs: Mudcats, at Bats, Scrappers
Mudcats: at Riverdogs, Bees, at Thunder
Lookouts: Bats, at Scrappers, Bulls
Bats: at Lookouts, Riverdogs, at Bees

We'll update this after Saturday to let you know if the weekend's results have clarified any possibilities.
