          2008 Benchwarmer Championships
            
          Tastes Great Conference: Skip's American Micro Brewing Company (87-63) vs. 
          Elsinore (92-58) 
          Elsinore finished last season as the last-place team in the TBA 1 
          Division.  This year, they had a tight race with Hornsby's until 
          the very end - pulling away to the league's 2nd best record.  
          They play against another of last season's Bottom Feeder entries.  
          Skip's finished 3rd in 2007 but vaulted to a division title  this 
          season.  Despite the final records, Skip's dominated the season 
          series.

           Less Filling Conference: IM's (91-59) vs. The Natty Lights (94-56) 
          The Natty Lights and IM's both cruised to easy wins - 20 games or 
          more ahead of 2nd place.  The Natty Lights won the Conference 
          title last season, but lost the finals in 6 games.  They finished 
          with the identical record as they had last season.  Meanwhile, 
          IM"s improved from their 2nd-place finish in 2007 to take the TBA 3 
          crown.

          BWB CHAMPIONSHIP : Elsinore vs. The Natty Lights 
          Both teams have an outside chance to make the Benchwarmer Bash if 
          they lose in this series, but Elsinore's hold is a bit more 
          precarious.  The Natty Lights attempt to go one step further than 
          2007 - they won the conference title, but fell short in the 
          championship round.  Elsinore is wrapping up a season when they 
          moved from 4th to 1st place and a league title would be a great 
          capper.
