It’s Monday, so the full-season teams are off and the short-season teams take center stage. Believe it or not, this is the last full week of the regular season for the short-season teams. The FCL Pirates have a chance for the playoffs and the DSL Pirates Gold already clinched a playoff spot, so we will be following 1-2 teams still after the regular season ends on August 23rd.
