Twatter Rankings: Week 5

		Coffee Time
		by Carl Coffee

1.		El Diablos   (11-3, Pow#R: 19.3)
		The Fighting Chickens are again in control of the Garcia Division. They do have some tough matchups coming up though.
2.		Westside Warriors   (6-4, Pow#R: 5.9)
		Warriors are off Week 6, then they have a soft schedule. Shore just finds ways to win in the regular season.
3.		Oakland County Onanism   (8-6, Pow#R: 3.2)	3
		The OCO are on pace to win 16 games. Very impressive for a mostly rookie squad. Kiefer is a true #dad.
4.		Whiteford Wicked Aces   (3-1, Pow#R: 8.5)	1
		The Aces will finally start playing some games on a regular basis. This should be their worst ranking all year.
5.		Belgian Wiffles   (6-6, Pow#R: 0.3)
		Belgian plays eight games the next two weeks. Can they finally get over the .500 hump? The bats need to wake up.
6.		King Friday   (4-6, Pow#R: -4.3)	1
		KF has a very tough 3-week stretch: WA, BW, EL. If they can go 3-3 I will put them in the playoff conversation.
7.		Flying Squirrels   (6-6, Pow#R: -3.6)	2
		Remember when they were 4-0? The Squeaks are sinking fast but their schedule does soften Weeks 7 and 8.
8.		Holy Balls   (3-7, Pow#R: -5.8)	1
		Paquin continues to impress, but without a #2 pitcher they don't stand a chance.
9.		Wolfpack   (5-7, Pow#R: -7.7)	1
		Wolfpack continue to get no love. If they can sweep the Balls this week they are right back in the middle of the pack.
10.		Islanders   (2-8, Pow#R: -18.6)
		The Black and White Pirates avoid Farkas this week, so they could steal a game or two vs. Belgian.

What is Pow#R?
The power number rating (Pow#R) is a mathematical formula using a team's weighted wins (wW) -- Σ(# of wins vs. opponent * (1 + opponents wining %)] --, weighted losses (wL) -- Σ(# of losses vs. opponent * (2 - opponents winning %) --, record over the last five (L5) games, and run differential (DIFF) divided by games played (GP). The equation looks like this:    Pow#R = (wW - wL) + (L5) + (DIFF/GP)
