| What I want to know is which squad is going to play the most games. Tonka or Park? Unreal! I know Tonka has the staff as evident by their record but what about Park. Can they continue to loose games and still stay upbeat. Is their staff going to get worn down. They won't make the tourney but may take the most games title.

| All of July is left. There are quite a few clogged standings amid the Class A leagues. I think you're going to see quite a few changes atop the boards
Park Natty has 4 teams atop the standings with 2 or 3 losses. Too close to call.
Riverview has 3 teams between 2nd and 4th with 2 or 3 losses. 5 games to go for each team and one of 'em has to play Tonka twice yet. Tough games.
Skyline has 6! teams with 3 and 4 losses with 6 to 8 games left to play. Some teams have easy roads, some have tough roads.
St. Paulsy has 5 teams with 2 to 4 losses with 9 to 11 games left to play. Yeah, I expect this to all jumble around. Not a whole lot of teams are going to stay where their standings have them now.

| I would still like to know who is in the Skyline? Do any of them play non league games?

| You couldn't have just posted the link for me? Don't worry, I found them. I never would have known they existed by the 1-10 rankings that come out weekly.

| Most, if not all, Skyline teams play a significant number of non-league games more than half their schedule. Given its location in the St. Paul suburbs, the Skyline frequently matches up with teams from the St. Paul, Metro Minny, St. Croix Valley (WI), and Cannon Valley Leagues. Most teams also participate in at least 1 or 2 tournaments a year Dundas, Elko, Victoria, to name a few while Stockmen's Irish even host their own tournament.
I don't think anyone from the Skyline has come on here claiming that they have risen to the elite of Class A. But the league has steadily improved over the past few seasons, and with the exception of one team going through a complete rebuild, any team in the Skyline is capable of winning on any given night. And that's what makes baseball such a great sport. Hopefully come tourney time, the Skyline's 3 qualifying teams will put on a good showing and, win or lose, help create a more positive image of the league.

| Sorry for the bad grammar. Apparently, the message board doesn't like hyphens.
