Power Rankings

Second week of the power rankings find the top three spots steady and strong with AL teams. After that it's all chaos. The NL continues to play hot potato with playoff seeding. Thirty-five games left so it's put up or shut up time

Top Ten Power Ranking

1)Vancouver Venom -(1)- Rolling along to the number 1 seed and home field throughout the playoffs. Has a shot for the leagues all-time scoring record currently held by Colorado.

2) Syracuse Demons -(2)- Best pitching staff in the majors asserted their dominance on the AL this past week posting 5 shutouts including back to back three hitters over Scranton. Offense has also kicked it up another notch. Home field throughout is still in their sights

3)Kansas City Monarchs-(3)- Rough week as they lost to some teams that they should of beat but still the only team that poses any challenge to the top two teams. A key stretch is on the horizon as they play nothing but playoff teams this week including #1 and #2 in this poll.

4)Colorado Scandal -(8)-Biggest upward mover in this weeks poll as they won key series against Ottawa and Cincinnati. A little erratic but so is the rest of the NL. Offense is still strong and pitching as been better than previous years. With a late season surge could very well make a trip back to the world series.


5)Trenton Taters -(6)- Had a normal week by Trenton standards. Lose three, win three, lose two, win two. Remarkably that trend has been the most consistent of the four division leaders and could very well result in a first round bye for the Taters

6)Fargo Falcons -(7)- Still in the wild card lead and though they could very well end the season with a top four record will play on the road come playoff times. Have 7 games this week against playoff contenders so it's time to secure that wild card spot and try and get some rest for the starters before season's end.

7)Ottawa O Faces -(4)- rough early part of the week but picked up in the last day and a half as they won a series against the east leading Blowfish and have currently won three in a row. Easily could take control of the playoff race as they have an eleven game home stand this week.


8)Cincinnati Blowfish -(5)- Still have the best NL record which is more a testament on how the rest of the league has been playing. Only bright spot this week was the no hitter thrown against the O Faces in their second game. However the Blowfish have lost the three games after that spoiling any kind of momentum. Two of those losses were against former pitchers. Up next -another former pitcher.


9) Madison Chaos-(nr)-Took three of four from the Blowfish and two of three from the Scandal both playoff contenders. Sit three back from Trenton and controls the wildcard race at the moment. Very easily could earn a first round bye with any type of consistent play.


10)Boston Massacre-(9)-Had a rough week and have given Scranton a slimmer of hope for the division title. However they are still the division leader and it is a position of power that wildcard contenders do not have.



Dropped out:Rochester Royals -(10)- Not really anything they did but what other teams below them did. Still have a grip on the second wildcard spot. Still plenty of time left so the bluebloods have to keep winning to hold off the likes of Vegas
