the Sunsetters.

The Sunsetters faced off with the Penguins for first place in the Pop Division. It was the Suns

who prevailed.
| |||||||||||||||
Da' Bull fell short of the playoffs even though they scored 225 points in their win over the Pinstripes.
| |||||||||||||||
The Rubble woulda, coulda, shoulda won, but using thirdbaseman Todd Zielle out of position and
| |||||||||||||||
using only three pitchers doomed the final regular season game against the Bombers.
| |||||||||||||||
In another meaningless game the Wild Boars scored a hefty 184 points to win one against the Yanks.

In this one the Yanks crushed the Rubble with a 32 point game from Kevin Appier.

We do know from other records that the Yanks and the Sunsetters faced off for the Championship

series and we know that the New Yanjkees won it. Hats off to the Champs!

Life has many serious issues, but fantasy baseball is not one of them. Almost 33 years ago, we created the Synthetic Chemicals Baseball Society (SCABS) as a means of distraction and relaxation. Though the league has changed significantly over the years, the goal has not. This blog is a continuation of the goal and contains a history of the league from its 1985 beginning to it's current season. So sit back, read and enjoy.
