.
fact or fiction 2006, round 4 (part 2)
jon biddle vs. bryan frankovich
1.  Nate Tomko will strangle someone on his team by season's end.
bidd:  FICTION.  althought nate is frustrated with his team and is on the threshold of snapping, who is he going to strangle?  big whitey plays with a scowl and almost takes it too seriously, so solely missing shots wouldn't be enough to spur a tito ortiz style beatdown.  jamie?  no way.  kip?  not likely.  nate will be the baseketball equivalent to jake gylenhaal.  no, not in the brokeback mountain shady gay sex affair with greg lackey type deal, but rather the jarhead style buildup with no action in the end.  although, the lethal lottery could send strangle-worthy ballers such as pat nespor, jeremy battyani, jon biddle, mike frankovich, or terry hall to live sex.  in that case, FACT.  nate will turn a bitch purple
2.  The Ben Smith of last year will show up (.542 AVG/27 HR/121 RBI) will show up and lead Bukkake Tsunami deep into the playoffs.
bidd: FACT and FICTION.  ben smith will shake off his hungover first half and rain in homers all sabbath, but FICTION that he alone will lead bukkake deep into the playoffs.  they can be an offensive threat at times, but do not have the overall package necessary to thrust themselves deep into the pink membrane that is the sbl playoffs.
bidd: FACT. mikey morocco has one week until he goes somewhere in the heart of south africa for vacation, which means he will strive this week to continue his offensive fireworks that helped cashdollar dominate the league's best last week.  with hennon and biddle on base almost 60% of the time and pj nespor doin that damn thing , look for the old morocco to take form and drive in tons of rbis, giving the associates the stamina they need  to string together two more good weeks of baseketball.
4)  Although they're more competitive than in recent years, the lineups for Jukebox Hero are too random for any team continuity, making the yellow mesh a non-factor for the playoffs.
bidd: FACT.  the sbl playoffs draw a good crowd to the chalked pavement, which is why sloppy players will have a home on the court even in the postseason.  the only way i see them winning in the first week is if it's at a place where not many people show up, resulting in a stacked jukebox squad.  that doesn't seem likely, so i don't look for much out of dennis lackey's goons.
5.  Team Wet Drean will go the way of the TOTS:  all the offense in the world, only to fall short in the finals.
bidd: FACT.  like i stated earlier, you need a complete, rounded squad to go deep into the throat of the sbl playoffs.  wet dream is close to being a powerhouse, but i see them falling off short due to lack of dominance on the court.  they aren't terrible on defense, but they don't defend their side of the court like minori-team of live sex.  defense doesn't win championships alone, but it's a key operand in the solution, so i say the milky whites fall short in the finals if not a round earlier
6. Matt McClelland, Billy Weisberg, Terry Hall, or some combination will fail to show up for a week in the playoffs, costing Minori-Team their chance for the championshiop.
bidd: FICTION.  i don't have any inside information on any of these players not being in attendence for the playoffs, so i can't make a for sure dude call on anything.  weisberg will be there, straight up.  terry hall will be there if his team makes it a point to have him there early.  McClelland, i don't know.  he might be the one to do something lame and professional on a sunday (editor's note: read his response), which will definately cripple the minorities chances at the stunningly beautiful sbl championship trophy.
pres 2006 home
b frank: FICTION.  although nate gets frustrated when his team doesn't do well, he won't do anything that stupid.  he's really good friends with everyone on his team and wouldn't want something that rediculous to get in the way.  however, he may strangle someone from an opposing team come playoff time.
b frank:  FICTION.  i believe ben will pick up his game in the remaining weeks, but it won't be enough to carry his team deep into the playoffs.  he's going to need a lot of help from pat lackey and big rando if they want to go anywhere this postseason.  this is one team that will rely on good performances from everyone.
b frank:  FACT. if there's a team that can pull a "tots", it's them.  they really aren't a bad team at all, and they showed it this past week.  they will be a contender as long as mikey and biddle continue to hit shots.  combine that with pj and danielle loading the bases, and they could get a great offense going.  we'll just see if they can match the competition from the rest of the league come playoffs.
b frank:  FACT.  in my opinion, they will not make the playoffs.  cashdollar will get the last spot, edging out jukebox by 3 games.  that is, unless nate puts together the jukebox all-stars, which is totally possible, and can void my statement completely
b frank: FACT.  all they have on defense is terry shernisky, and great defensive teams rely on more than one person.  there are several teams in the league with better defensive lineups.  they are going to get knocked out of the playoffs as soon as they don't capitalize on double plays.  other teams will be able to double play them, as they don't follow up their shots.
b frank:  FICTION.  not only will they all be there, but i believe they will make it to the championship and have a great chance of winning it.  this team is underrated and will be deadly in the playoffs.  mac has been having a great year, and so have billy and terry as of late.
7.  With a supporting cast of Jon Osavsky, Mike Frankovich, Greg Lackey, and Dennis Lackey, Bryan Frankovich will finally win something this year.
bidd:  FICTION.  never will frankovich win something.  he is destined to fall short in his baseketball career.  olsavsky doens't have the drive to win the championship on a team full of frankoviches and lackeys.  m frank can't put in a double play if his lanky limbs depended on it, and the lackeys aren't showing me the firepower that made them .520/55 rbi hitters they were last season.  the bitches get bitched early in the playoffs
b frank:  FICTION.  the frankenbitches will have to play flawlessly to even get to the finals.  even if they manage to make it that far, they will be stopped.  and as for any awards such as player of the year, bryan has the stats to be in contention, but there is one player that will probably remain ahead of him in most statistical categories and his name is nate tomko, so the award will likely go to him.
