| I won't complain about our (Hopkins) ranking because we can't get our full team to show up (Konicek returning for our game against the Millers) but Bloomington Bandits #7? Are you sure you didn't mean Bulldogs because in my opinion they are a far superior team to the Bandits (when they have their full squad because I've heard they have problems getting some of the better players to show all the time) and we have played both. That makes me question the legitimacy of this list. Who came up with these rankings?

| This summary of teams is based on the games several league representatives have attended as well as league and overall records.
I am a big fan of Class A Baseball and I think it great fun to hear what all the teams think of their opponants as well as the strength of opposing leagues.
It is my hope that this first set of rankings will act as a guideline for many weeks and years to come.
Let me know what you think.

| White Bear in the top 20????? What a joke!!! Have you ever seen that team play? They kick the ball around as much a little league team. If this is solely based on victories than okay. But watch them play, they are not good!!

| I am definitely happy with having the rankings and posting them on the forum. Maybe it can give players like myself, who have been around club ball for only a few years, a good perspective on other leagues but in the least it provides the entertainment of King Kong being able to rant some more about the competition in his league. Speaking of league games, wish us luck and lots of it against the Millers tonight.

| Mr. Giant Ape, I am not saying we are great defensively, but when we have all our guys there, we can make the plays we need to. Our pitching has clearly been the reason we've been winning ballgames.
Sorry not all of us can swat airplanes out of thin air like you can.

| King Kong, I'm surprised Township isn't higher. We dominate just about everybody that we play. The Shark, who are they? They can't beat a team that "kicks the ball around." Who do you even play for? I bet your team didn't make this ranking. You suck.

| All I know is the Roosters got screwed in this list!
What, 2 wins and 74 one-run losses aren't enough to crack the top 20? Unbelievable....

| Congrats for to the Township, this is their greatest accomplishment in all the years they have been in the league. It just sucks that it isnt true, because they are junk. Getting better, but still junk.
Loggers in 10th? Wesley Homes in 13th? Both teams are are top 5.
Roosters did get screwed. They have a solid squad.

| King Kong, all you do is whine and make comments about how much our team sucks. I would tell you to talk about your own team, but judging from the astouding quality of your comebacks like "I am the King, you are the peasant" and classics like "you'll know me when you see me." I would definately have to say you don't actually have a team. In fact, you probably got cut from your freshman team in high school and your like 5'3'' 135lbs. We bring our 19th ranked game to stockmans tommorrow, so lets see how we do.

| Everything that King Kong says is the truth. Township should just give it up. The only team worse then the Township is Moes.

| makes these but obviously hasnt seen many of these teams play. So since i have played A ball a long time and keep current heres my top 10
1. Minnetonka - By far the best team in MN 2. Commanding Edge - Reloaded and good again 3. Lyons Pub - beat Park and Mntka leads Park National 4. SLP - lost a few lately but same veteran team 5. Stillwater Loggers - Young and talented 6. Angels - Veteran squad 2nd in league 7. Rosetown - Ben Fleetham and power hitting 8. Hopkins Berries - Good hitters on the verge 9. Wesley Homes - Down year with injuries but dangerous 10 Rocks - Getting better every year 11 Stockmens Irish - Much improved 12 Shamrocks - saw them twice very fundamental 13 Sport and Spine - always solid good pitching 14 Green Mill - 15. Air Freight - return of Whinnery makes them legit

| Kong man, I come on here because I look forward to reading clever comments. However, when I have read your posts, I have never laughed (not even once).
Your commentary just makes me shake my head in dissapointment. I am generally sad after reading your work. Do you think you are funny?
I would appreciate it if you could try to be even remotely witty with your future posts, thereby doing a better job to entertain me. Thank You in advance.
