167 APPLICANTS IN CFL FALL 2013 SEASON;

LEAGUE DRAFT WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14TH

 

This week’s featured game:

10:00  METLIFE  @  HARLAN    FIELD 2 

The odds were 7-1 that MetLife and Harlan would hook up in our random draw post season.  But as the top two teams during the regular season, it is a great draw and should be a great game.

MetLife beat Harlan 13-9 in the seventh week of the season.

Rookie Ed Kordus leads the Harlies with a impressive .781BA, and returning CFLer Ed DeMaio is tops with 26 ribbies and a 1.529 SLG%.

Another CFL rookie, Don Mulneix, leads the Metsies in all offensive stats including a hot .750BA and 25 rbi’s.

Offensive and defense season stats of these two teams are nose to nose.  Harlan has the home field and will be motivated to knock off the Regular Season Champs.  They will be missing the services of Kirby Campanelli who according to league rules cannot sub against MetLife, the team that is protecting him.  But they are picking up Fred Bruce, a star CFL veteran who has returned to CFL play this season and is returning in the Fall.

Both teams have top shelf pitchers in Jim Glover and Harold Holiman.

This is a pick-em.

Commish calls it: Harlan 15; MetLife 14
