Teams that have clinched

Brantford, Toronto, Barrie, Kitchener, Mississauga, London, and Guelph


Teams on the bubble
 Ottawa and Hamilton


The Fat Cats (aka Lame Ducks as its has already been rumored that they won't be back for a second season in the IBL) will need some help from the Hamilton Thunderbirds if they want to make the playoffs.  Ottawa has two games left  Sat in Barrie and Sunday in Toronto They win both they still have to wait and see if Hamilton wins four of their remaining five games the T-birds will clinch the last playoff spot.

The best thing for the IBL will be if the Birds win all five games as i can't see teams wanting to make a 6+ hour bus ride to play a playoff game on a week night. either that or the league's playoffs are going to run deep and maybe into September.

Guelph could finish at .500 should they win their remaining five games which could place them as high as a tie for 4th depending on what Kitchener does in their next three games.

London and Mississauga  both need wins to avoid finishing in 7th to avoid either Toronto or Barrie in the first round.

Brantford , Toronto and Barrie still are fighting for first place and I fully expect the Red Sox to be flying in Gabe Ribas for at some point this weekend to qualify him for the playoffs (6.2 IP and only 2 appearances so far according to the stats)

  1. Brantford is ripe for the picking. Ribas is not going to be able to pitch every 2nd game again this year.

  2. it doesnt matter about Brantford and ribas, they'll just get all their former AAA pitchers for the playoffs Like Mike Meyers who's barely pitched all year and beat the others.
