Mikolas really made the pirates walk the plank. Nice game with him man. Where do you sit in the standings? Should be a tight race if I’m looking at it correctly.

I’m the worst division leader. Monthly recap is next updates so I’ll have the standings there. I’m a couple of games ahead of 2nd place in the Central. It is indeed close.
