CAPB Power Rankings 7-19-10

THE ELITE TEAMS
1)New York Highlanders (97-44) (LW – 1) No movement from last week. Team went 15-5 during the week. [Up 1 spot from the first power rankings.] (Is there anything this team can’t do?)
3rd Hitting/ 1st Pitching/ 4th Fielding

2)Minnesota Monkey Wranglers (88-53) (LW - 2) No Movement from last week. Team went 14-6 during the week. [Up 2 spots from the first power rankings.] (Hope the team is happy with the 2nd seed in the playoffs because it would be a miracle for them to get the number 1 spot.)
6th Hitting/ 8th Pitching/ 1st Fielding

3)Buffalo Soldiers (88-53) (LW – 4) Up 1 spot from last week. Team went 14-6 during the week. [No movement from the first power rankings.] (Has the best record in the National League and will most likely have the number 1 seed heading into the playoffs.)
17th Hitting/ 2nd Pitching/ 2nd Fielding

4)Montgomery Burns (72-49) (LW - 3) Down 1 spot from last week. Team went 11-9 during the week. [Up 10 spots from the first power rankings.] (The Burns dropped to the second best offense in the league this week. Is this a sign the offense could be cooling down?)
2nd Hitting/ 18th Pitching/ 32nd Fielding

5)Fargo Fart Knockers (81-60) (LW - 10) No movement from last week. Team went 12-8 during the week. [Up 11 spots from the first power rankings.] (It’s scary that Fargo is still only second in the American League North.)

THE GREAT TEAMS
6)Toledo Holy Fargin' Schnicks (77-64) (LW - 7) Up 1 spot from last week. Team went 11-9 during the week. [Up 5 spots from the first power rankings.] (Toledo will make the playoffs, it’s just a question if they can win there division as well.)

7)Pittsburgh Pisces (76-65) (LW - 8) Up 1 spot from last week. Team went 10-10 during the week. [Up 10 spots from the first power rankings.] (Playing in the toughest division is a big reason Pittsburgh is a great team.)

ABOVE AVERAGE TEAMS
8)Honolulu Witch Doctors (78-63) (LW - 6) Down 2 spots from last week. Team went 11-9 during the week. [Up 7 spots from the first power rankings.] (The weak division hurt the Witch Doctors this week.)

9)Milwaukee Porn Silos (78-63) (LW – 10) Up 1 spot from last week. Team went 11-9 during the week. [No movement from the first power rankings.] (Someone from the American League North has to miss the playoffs.)

10)Atlanta Hooch (66-55) (LW - 11) Up 1 spot from last week. Team went 11-9 during the week. [Up 2 spots from the first power rankings.] (Will be in a dog fight for the National League East division crown, but I believe the Hooch will make the playoffs no matter what.)
21st Hitting/ 7th Pitching/ 16th Fielding

THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TEAMS
11)Nashville Raccoons (72-69) (LW - 9) Down 2 spots from last week. Team went 9-11 during the week. [Down 5 spots from the first power rankings.] (Something needs to happen soon for the Raccoons or they could miss the playoffs.)
5th Hitting/ 27th Pitching/ 30th Fielding

12)New Britain Fighting Beer Drinkers (71-70) (LW – 18) Up 6 spots from last week. Team went 12-8 during the week. [Down 2 spots from the first power rankings.] (17 games out of there division but they still have a very good chance at the wildcard berth.)
18th Hitting/ 12th Pitching/ 11th Fielding

13)Jackson Pollocks (60-61) (LW - 19) Up 6 spots from last week. Team went 12-8 during the week. [Up 11 spots from the first power rankings.] (Know the team is probably named after the famous artist Jackson Pollock, but you get a fish logo, enjoy.)
26th Hitting/ 6th Pitching/ 18th Fielding

14)Vancouver Whitecaps (72-69) (LW – 12) Down 2 spots from last week. Team went 8-12 during the week. [Down 9 spots from the first power rankings.] (Well the bad Vancouver team showed up last week, maybe the good Vancouver team will come back this week?)
8th Hitting/ 19th Pitching/ 12th Fielding

THE BELOW AVERAGE TEAMS
15)Charlotte Knights (70-71) (LW - 16) Up 1 spot from last week. Team went 8-12 during the week. [Up 16 spots from the first power rankings.] (Had a bad week but you still got a new logo, enjoy.)
13th Hitting/ 17th Pitching/ 8th Fielding

16)Tampa Bay Maelstrom (70-71) (LW - 14) Down 2 spots from last week. Team went 8-12 during the week. [Down 3 spots from the first power rankings.] (Going 8-12 during the week probably killed any chance at the playoffs for Tampa.)
9th Hitting/ 26th Pitching/ 24th Fielding

17)Chicago Gangsters (66-75) (LW - 13) Down 4 spots from last week. Team went 6-14 during the week. [Up 4 spots from the first power rankings.] (It doesn’t matter what division you play in, going 6-14 during the week is bad.)
4th Hitting/ 28th Pitching/ 26th Fielding

18)Las Vegas Aces (70-71) (LW - 15) Down 3 spots from last week. Team went 9-11 during the week. [Up 2 spots from the first power rankings.] (Still has a shot at the American League West Division crown.)

19) Anaheim Angels (69-72) (LW - 23) Up 4 spots from last week. Team went 11-9 during the week. [Up 9 spots from the first power rankings.] (The Angels have moved into the playoff picture. Could be a scary team to face down the stretch?)
30th Hitting/ 5th Pitching/ 27th Fielding

20)Sacramento Terrible Two's (68-73) (LW – 22) Up 2 spots from last week. Team went 9-11 during the week. [Down 12 spots from the first power rankings.] (.714 winning percentage against there division, .442 against everyone else.)

21) St. Louis River Dogs (70-71) (LW - 20) Down 1 spot from last week. Team went 9-11 during the week. [Up 6 spots from the first power rankings.] (They still have an outside chance at the playoffs.)

22)Salt Lake City Ampersands (68-73) (LW – 17) Down 5 spots from last week. Team went 8-12 during the week. [Down 15 spots from the first power rankings.] (What happened to Salt Lake during the second half?)
14th Hitting/ 22nd Pitching/ 14th Fielding

23) Norfolk NAVY SEALs (67-74) (LW - 21) Down 2 spots from last week. Team went 10-10 during the week. [Up 7 spots from the first power rankings.] (If the Navy Seals would have played less then 49 one-run games this season already, who knows what the season would have been.)
27th Hitting/ 9th Pitching/ 5th Fielding

THE WISH I WAS HIGHER TEAMS
24) Salem Squirrel Monkeys (61-80) (LW - 24) No movement from last week. Team went 10-10 during the week. [Down 6 spots from the first power rankings.] (26-44 away from home is what killed the Squirrel Monkeys season)
22nd Hitting/ 16th Pitching/ 23rd Fielding

THE SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG TEAMS
25) Jacksonville Junk Yard Dogs (64-77) (LW - 26) Up 1 spot from last week. Team went 12-8 during the week. [Down 3 spots from the first power rankings.] (Would have been nice to see the team play like this all season long.)
20th Hitting/ 24th Pitching/ 7th Fielding

26) Scottsdale Sidewinders (64-77) (LW - 25) Down 1 spot from last week. Team went 9-11 during the week. [Down 7 spots from the first power rankings.] (Giving up 5.5 runs per game, has really hurt them all season long.)
15th Hitting/ 29th Pitching/ 28th Fielding

THE ALMOST HOPELESS TEAMS
27) Trenton Thunder (62-79) (LW - 27) No Movement from last week. Team went 11-9 during the week. [Up 2 spots from the first power rankings.] (No matter how they finish the season, they have improved from last year.)
25th Hitting/ 20th Pitching/ 22nd Fielding

28) Colorado Springs Sky Sox (60-81) (LW - 29) Up 1 spot from last week. Team went 10-10 during the week. [Down 5 spots from the first power rankings.] (The team is scoring 3.81 runs per game so far this season. Do I need to say anymore about that?)
32nd Hitting/ 23rd Pitching/ 15th Fielding

29) Richmond Spiders (51-90) (LW - 28) Down 1 spot from last week. [Down 3 spots from the first power rankings.] (Hope Richmond will enjoy that first overall pick next season.)

30) Pawtucket Paw Soxs (56-85) (LW - 30) No Movement from last week. Team went 6-14 during the week. [Down 5 spots from the first power rankings.] (You’re not going to win many games, if you can’t pitch or field.)
23rd Hitting/ 31st Pitching/ 31st Fielding

31Little Rock Team Discovery ChannelCupcakes (57-84) (LW – 31) No movement from last week. Team went 9-11 during the week. [Down 30 spots from the first power rankings.] (No longer hopeless but there still bad and there still a cupcake team.)
31st Hitting/ 30th Pitching/ 13th Fielding

THE HOPELESS TEAMS
32) Charleston Battery (53-88) (LW - 32) No Movement from last week. Team went 11-9 during the week. [No movement from the first power rankings.]. (Best week of the season last week for the team. Could they finally move out of the last spot in the next power rankings?)

28th Hitting/ 11th Pitching/ 9th Fielding

21) Norfolk NAVY SEALs (57-64) (LW - 19) Down 2 spots from last week. (I don’t know if it’s just me or not but I have a feeling the Navy Seals are going to have a great week)

15th Hitting/ 29th Pitching/ 26th Fielding
