4 POWER RANKINGS Sting Conference WEEK five october 21 Ballsagna Take down the Hustlers fairly easy and stay undefeated. Ballsagna remains the sole undefeated team in Stringray with 3 games left. Will they finish out on top? The Foot Clan Kicked Heads last Friday as they rolled over the Kickheads and continue their quest to the top. kick tease Come out on top of a back and forth cat fight. Good thing they crawled their way out and secured the win. Number 3 for now, but can they move up the rankings with a win against the Clan this week? homeplate hustlers Tough loss last week, but that won t stop this team from hustlin hard the rest of the season. The Hustlers are ready to get the balls off of them and bust some rubbers this week, so watch out blue team. rubber busters Rubber Busters came up big this week against Kick James. They shut them out and moved up in the rankings. Will this confidence boost be enough to take down the Hustlers? Hopefully both teams will be sober enough to play when 9:15 comes around. kickheads Had their flame put out by the Foot Clan last week. Will this slow them down or will they be able to get the flame fired back up and finish the season strong? bunt cakes Close game against Kick Tease this week, but the Cakes weren t able to pull it off. Do you think they were feeling pressure playing against some old teammates? Either way, don t let them fool you; the Bunt Cakes are a good team they just need all of their team to show up once in awhile. That Pitch is a Bunt A strategic kicking lineup should have gotten this team a win. What it really did was make the Dinos mad and determined to beat them. They should bounce back as long as they keep the jello shots coming and bubba kegs filled. Ray Conference rubber balls & Liquor Take the lead in the Ray conference and do so in dramatic fashion with a comeback win over SBTB. Can they keep the streak alive this week and win the battle of between the balls? (RB& L vs RB&V). saved by the ball Received their first loss of the season but fought hard. Had the lead early but let it slip away. Hopefully this will be a lessoned learned to SBTB and they will know to keep piling on the runs once they are up so teams cant comeback. local skanks A win this week has moved them up in the rankings. Still not sure why this team wants to be referred to as Skanks, but they have proven that they are not a team to sleep on (but maybe with). Keep it up Locals. i m kick james, pitch! Kick James was no match for the Rubber Busters last week as they got shut out in a 9-0 loss. Hopefully Kick James will take out their pint up aggression and runs and put them on the Locals and bounce back with a win. Let s see how it goes. recess renegades Recess was cut short this week as the Renegades tied RB&V in a tight battle that ended with no victor. Maybe they ll see them in the playoffs, maybe not. Until then the Renegades will focus on beating their remaining opponents and finishing strong. Rarr I m a Dinosaur We learned three things from the Dinos this week: They figured out how to win, their catcher won theme king, and Manawhoreous Rex is a real word. Let s see if these findings will help them out the rest of the season. Red Balls & Vodka Not only did they not lose this week (technically), their girls helped them win this week s theme (Where s the beef?). We hope to see more dressed up and more runs from RB&V for them to continue winning themes and games. all my pitches loves me Still no wins and we are starting to wonder if all of their pitches really do love them. This team has the chance to get their first win this week against Recess Renegades; make it happen! *These are opinionated rankings that may or may not match true league Standings.
