Week 11 Recap
Markinson
Just 3 games remaining, and this 4-horse race might be down to 3. Because of Amer's point lead, it's still conceivable that he could win out, have Drew go 1-2, and have Hubert and Gina go no better than 2-1. But no one has ever won a league title with 5 losses, so Amer's chances are looking bleak. Of course, the last time I wrote that, he strung together 5 straight wins to move back into contention, so we'll see.
Drew is still alone in first at 8-3 thanks to his huge 10-point win over Amer, dropping the reigning champ to 4th place and 2 games back.
Hubert pulls in his 16th career Heineken to drop Jason by 44. Hubert plays Drew next, and the winner will be in first place heading into the final two games of the season.
Gina remains in contention, moving up to third place and just a game back of Drew with her 42-point win over Eddy, whose losing streak has now reached 5 after a 5-1 start.
Scott beats Lisa by 37 to give himself a shot at crawling out of the basement before season's end.
Montoya
Jeremy scores his 10th career Heineken, the 6th person to reach double digit brews (Scott, Dean, Hubert, Jason, Amer), and he beats Lisa by 71 points! The win is big in another way as well, moving Jeremy back into 4th place and in line for Markinson 2010.
Hubert is the new man on top after beating Gina by 30. His win, combined with Andrew's 13-point loss to me, puts them both at 8-3, with me just a game back at 7-4. Hubert has a 106-point lead on Andrew, but they face each other next, giving Andrew his one shot to render that point lead moot. A loss for Andrew would mean his only shot at the title would be to finish 2-0 while Hubert finishes 0-2.
Dan loses a heart-breaker to Scott by just 0.76 points, dropping him from 4th to 5th and out of league title contention. But he is tied with Jeremy at 6-5 for that all-important spot in 4th place. It's about time Scott won one of these types of games. It's also the first week this season that Scott has won in both leagues.
Dufresne
I'm not even going to try to handicap this race yet. Five teams are either tied for or within a game of first place, and one of the teams a game back is Dean's Pansies, which hold a significant points lead on the rest of the league. So anything can still happen.
After an excruciatingly painful Saturday evening, Nalu vowed to me that he would take out his frustrations on Dufresne and snag the Heineken (true story). Not one to fall short on his promises, Nalu secures his 4th career Heineken in a 48-point win over Eddy, who has lost a combined 9 straight in the two leagues. Nalu is now back in first, having righted the ship after a 3-game skid.
Russell moves up to second with his 5-point win over Dean, dropping Dean from 1st to 3rd. Dean still leads for the Starling Cup, increasing the gap over Hubert by 2 points to 43.
Drew drops from 2nd to 4th and tumbles out of Starling contention after posting only 59 points in a 42-point loss to Steve. Seven of his players combined for just 10 points total!
Amer stays in the hunt for Markinson with a 7-point win over Jason, who is also lurking in the Markinson hunt, and well as the title chase. Weird season.
Don't forget, lots of Thursday games this holiday week. Enjoy Thanksgiving, but set your lineups!
