Week 2 Power Rankings

		Coffee Time
		by Carl Coffee

1.		Whiteford Wicked Aces  (9-1, 1st in the Ringler)
		The Wicked Aces have completed over one-third of their season in two weeks, and already have three perfect games. The Aces have been dominant, both hitting and pitching wise. They could very easily remain on top of the power rankings all season long.
2.		Wiffling DeLoppes  (2-0, 2nd in the Garcia)
		The DeLoppes have only played two games, but they were impressive in those two games against the Mattseals. The DeLoppes have the most stable roster in the league, and they mesh extremely well. Being able to adjust to more road games this year is the big question mark for the DeLoppes in 2012.
3.		Thunder Ducks  (3-1, 3rd in the Garcia)
		The Thunder Ducks have not been getting much respect this season, but I wouldn’t want to fuel any fire for this team. Dennis is still Dennis. Dylan is among the best home run hitters in the league. Lewis had an incredible second half in 2011, and could easily do it again this season. Ducks are in it to win it.
4.		Donkeys  (5-3, 2nd in the Ringler)
		The Donkeys have been a fun team to watch, and will be ‘Under the Radar’ all season long. Alex Shore will soon be lost for the season, but if Matt Murtha can continue to smash the ball the way he has been, it will soften the blow of losing Shore. If Seto can stay hot, and they keep getting good consistent pitching, this will be a top-five team.
5.		Flying Squirrels  (5-1, 1st in the Garcia)
		Four of the five wins from the Squirrels have been against the Commandos and Friday, so I don’t want to get too excited about their strong start, even with the win over the Ducks. Constanti and Corbett are both looking good, and when they get Merlo back, this team could have one of the best 1-2-3 pitching staffs in the league.
6.		Manchester Punchouts  (0-0, Tied for 3rd in the Ringler)
		Not much to say about the Punchouts right now, but this will probably be the lowest they are ever ranked. They open up the season Saturday night against the 1st place Wicked Aces in a much anticipated two game series. If they are able to take both of those games, this will be the team to beat.
7.		Belgian Wiffles  (0-0, Tied for 3rd in the Ringler)
		The Belgian Wiffles went from one of the least talked about teams, to one of the most talked about teams after their surprising victory in the second satellite tournament. Buhr and his young players could make a lot of noise in the very talented Ringler Division.
8.		Jason Mattseals  (0-6, 5th in the Ringler)
		“Those poor Mattseals” was a common phrase last season, and it could be used again this season. Last season, it was because of how bad they were. This season, it is because of the way they have been losing, close one run games. These guys won’t be winless much longer, and I expect when they get hot, they will not cool off.
9.		Campus Commandos  (0-6, Tied for 4th in the Garcia)
		The Commandos went into this season looking to have fun and maybe win a few games along the way. With the addition of rookie Daniel Egan, and Alex Linebrink as the early front runner for the Most Improved Player Award, this team will be a lot more competitive than originally thought.
10.		King Friday  (0-6, Tied for 4th in the Garcia)
		King Friday went from having back to back perfect games pitched against them against the Aces, to having a few nice hits and getting baserunners on against the Squirrels, and then took the Thunder Ducks to extra innings in their sixth game. As you can see, this team is improving after every game they play.
