The final results are in and its....all over we have the Staub finalists and the Clemente finalists. What a war its going to be. Look who is here in the dance. Jack Frost. The longtime Joliet manager who has brought his Jackhammers from CBA abyss to the glory of the final four. Frost has earned his keep trading, drafting, and crafting his team week by week in the quest to capture the brass ring of Dawson. With that well in hand, Joliet took care of a tough rival and GM the tandem of Mike Koepp and James Blakeley. Blakeley taking the reigns of a strong team machine took a commanding 3-1 lead before crafty Jack came back to tie. Maglio the series star had 2 HR 8 RBI hit .444 and had game 7's big hit a double. Game 7 saw Mike Koepp's CM lose to Jack Frost's and Joliet moved on up, this years Dawson darlings to the Staub finals against.... Howwwwwl...The Wolfmen.John Miller has taken the reigns of the Wolfpack, and took them through San Diego in very high offensive producing series Lots of runs, everyone shelled. It was a classic playoff series. You should check the boxes on the web...Chipper Jones hit .400 with 3 HR 10 RBI, and the hero Ramon Castro who knocked in 7 with 2 HR in only 6 AB! Skokie went nuts! .338 batting average, 15 HR, 4 by Gary Mathews Jr alone. SD spread the offense around with Mann3Ramirez hitting well, as well as McCann and his 2 HR. Did Miller ever get the most out of that lineup. An amazing performance.Speaking of amazing, the way Marc Wass' Superbas put away Carolina was just as impressive as the Skokie win. Marc Wass' Brooklyn Superbas are known for strong offensive teams holding many CBA top team and Individual records since '97. This season they hit .291 this year in an "off" season. In the Rd 1, 5 game win, they also hit .291 had 9 HR. 3 of them in the last hurrah for aged Brooklyn superstar Sammy Sosa. Sosa was CBA's all time leading HR and RBI king before ARod took over. Sosa had a great final year hitting another 24 to finish his career and add 70 more RBI's. In this playoff his bat shone once more with 3 HR, 2 of them game deciding blasts. All 3 were significant. Sosa and Thome are CBAs all time playoff HR leaders.Philly and Indiana staged and completed their series after some Net problems. When will anyone get this system perfected in Glen Head. Thanks to the Hamayachiguchie network they were playing some Clemente ball. Lots of power, 12 HR for Philly. Berkman and Hawpe tried to carry the Phans bats. Martinez, and Jeter had a pair, No speed, caught twice. Philly pitching let em down with ace Hamels getting shelled twice. Verlander fared worse. Escobar split 2. Odalis did a fair job. But Indy managed to get by hitting only .273 vs Rob Hite's team. They hit but 5 HR, but stole 10 bases. They will need to produce more against Brooklyn's tough rotation.

Its Brooklyn vs Indiana in Indiana.
Its Joliet at Skokie.  Could there be a rematch of last years finals between Wolfman and Fidler?  Or will Wass and Frost fight it out.  Indy the 2006 champs, Brooklyn the 2004 champs, Skokie the 2007 Staub champs, or Joliet a newcomer with the Dawson 2008 champs.   Who will it be?
