| Let’s start by saying... This should be a very competitive year with teams bulking up and bringing players in / switching teams. I have to read the gibberish of this one is need a trim downstairs, I’m gonna puke, so I figured how bout some reason softball talk....
1. Champs ARMS - Haven’t heard a ton about the young lions except for the pick up of the "younger superstars” Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaahah . They were a solid team last year lead by superior hitting and timely defense. Only thing that worries me about this team this year is the championship hangover that Tar suffered all of last year. Not sure how that could hurt them, if Tunes only shows to certain games that could b a tough game without there top hitters. I am not sure they will win the regular season title but these guys are more built for the playoff run, when it matters....I still see these guys as the ones to beat. Can they get stronger in the draft? They old men coaches will get anyone off there game just by laughing at their antics.
2. Crupi - A few departures, but they continue to get stronger by adding some youth who if he shows will make a huge impact in the middle of that lineup. These guys have a great chance of getting back to the ship... however they forget the weak defense gloves in the outfield will hurt them again. I’m sure they will find someway to either get players thrown out of the league or sabotage the Arms bats!
3. DST - Just by bringing back the same team will give them a great deal of power in the lineup and let the guys who need to hit HR's hit em and the guys who should be base hitting back to base hitting. The only problem I see with this team is speed in the outfield, the team is a little older which is not a bad thing is never at all, experience wins games 3/4 of the time. There infield play will be solid.
4. Houghton Remax - These guys are all gamers and would b higher on the list but I know the different ways these guys beat you. They added good young players last year. If they get younger like was planned many years ago. I think this team has a really good chance of winning regular season title... But again it will depend on how the draft goes. Very Solid Team Tho!
5. Village Grocer – Picked up a few good players and good teammates last year for the outfield, Chilton is back which puts them up there with the old age teams (thanks for that ) I think they can get everyone there they may surprise some of the top teams with how much better they got... I am saying 5th but it could be anywhere from 5, 6 or 7... So we will see... Cant get any worse than 7.
6. Wing It - These guys will have to bring in a bunch of players from the draft, great players when put in the right situations and I think that little Joyceiee knows what he is doing, my only worry is playing time for certain players who all have some of the same positions infield / pitch / c and that will be a tough battle to figure out when to sit important players.... But like I said they got the players now its time to see what plays out.
7. Travel Lovers - Well I know these guys always have a competitive team. Last year they started good and just seemed like they couldn’t get everyone on the same page when they needed them the most. I remember playing them last year and I think they argue about everything within themselves, it’s a tough deal some nights with guys with large egos. But they are still a solid team. I said 5 - 8 could b up for grabs between 5 or 6 teams which is gonna make every game crucial. These guys should b in the playoffs round for sure.
8. Griffith - I think this is the year that Alan and the boys pull it off and make some noise in the playoffs after a bit of a drought. If he can get more production from the big lad and another good bat these guys are scary to play at Crosby and soon to b tough to play anywhere defense needs some work but these guys can hit... with that small outfield its gonna be tough to sneak any in on them.
9. Complete Plumbing - Just making the playoffs, not because I think they are a bad team at all I actually think they will be in the running for the last few spots I just see them falling a little short because they need a few bigger bats... when the full rosters come out they may have a few more guys on there that mash and it could make a huge difference... they have a good core there….. so we will see what comes about
10. MAS - I’m gonna put these guys here.... I don’t know exactly who they have lost, but they got a lot better over the season last year and if even a few of those guys come back then they have a good chance of winning some games and surprising teams... no big roster changes so I have them winning 12 games.
11. Nvision/ Ed’s - Well these guys are sneaky, I think Crosby will help them defensively, good infield and smaller outfield. However I don’t think it helps them with hitting because they have a lot of guys who like to dink and end up in sleeping in the parking lot. Any team that plays them will have to stand back because u may get burnt with the bombs they hit. I think there gonna scare many teams with the big bats.
12. Tar- These guys used to be way stronger. I’m not sure what is going on this year. They have guys that can play ball I don’t know how drunk they will show up so that will affect the finishing position... I see them as a decent team and someone that could compete for the lower bracket championship.
13. School – They need a few young baseball guys. They can do as well as they want but the desire does not seem to apparent.... take your licks and come back this year, if they get the feel for playing they could go on a little run and shock a team or two but I still don’t see tons of chance this year, talent alone can only carry u so far then u need the experience.
14. DBS - Again some roster changes, so I’m kind of winging it here, I know a few of the guys and some can play and hit well. Pitching is suspect but I know these guys aren’t big on picking up guys they don’t know and they like playing with friends from work so I’m gonna keep them here.
15. Bistro - These guys are awesome... always fun to play against, I personally always bust balls and vice versa back to me. A very very cool team. These guys have been playing for a while and they show up and have a blast every year no matter what happens.
16. Harding - Well I hate to do this but I put these guys on the bottom, mostly cuz I don’t know if they will pick up anyone up and because I feel like every year we play they are there to get out of the house have some fun with the guys and maybe enjoy a few adult beverages after the games.
Good Luck to everyone.

| Reading that crap above reminds me of that awkward moment when you can’t understand what someone’s said even after they’ve repeated it four times.

| My last post was in April,I would like to congratulate the entire Kelsey’s and DST teams for winning their divisions. It is hard to be the best after 25 games. I missed Kelsey's in my early season predication.
Keep up the hard work!

| I am really looking forward to game this weekend, especially on Friday night. Arms certainly run out an excellent team but a better team of drunks. I am preparing the wife for a disaster on Sunday. Win or lose this should be a fun post game.
