End of the Season Twatter Rankings

Coffee Time
by Carl Coffee

1. Whiteford Wicked Aces   (21-7)  
A 21 win team with the best record in the league, I will take it. They will play the play-in winner on Sunday
2. El Diablos   (20-8)  
Another division title for the Fighting Chickens, and another 2 seed. Expect Skinner to shine in the playoffs. #notbold
3. King Friday   (18-10)  
The hottest team in the league will travel to Southgate on Saturday to play el Diablos in a must see Best of 3 Series.
4. Belgian Wiffles   (17-11)  
Belgian had the #3 seed handed to them, but they dropped it. They will go as far as their offense takes them.
5. Flying Squirrels   (15-13)  
It doesn't matter how they did it, but the Squirrels live to see another day. Brandon D'Agnese vs Farkas Part 2.
6. Oakland County Onanism   (14-14)  2
They'll tell you they are disappointed, but I think these guys had a good season. I hope they return next year #funteam
7. Westside Warriors   (14-14)  1
The Warriors franchise is officially dead. Sad ending for Shore and company who preseason looked like a favorite
8. Wolfpack   (9-19)  1
The Wolfpack put up some good offensive numbers but never found any identity of the mound. Should contend next season tho.
9. Holy Balls   (8-20)  1
Did the Balls pull a 1996-97 Spurs and tank on purpose? Not likely. Paq's #1 concern for next year? Find a 2nd pitcher.
10. Islanders   (4-24)  
This was a team who some thought could contend for a wildcard spot this year. Status for 2015: Unknown. #somanyforfeits
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)

Twatter Rankings: Week 12

Coffee Time
by Carl Coffee

1. Whiteford Wicked Aces   (18-6, Pow#R: 21.5)  
Aces are now 10-0 at home. #magical #eans #dogonthefield #bunkbeds #basilplants #peaches #noparking #pool #hughes #dads
2. El Diablos   (19-7, Pow#R: 22.0)  
If they can sweep the Aces, the #1 overall seed is theirs. Either way, it's been another solid season for the Chickens.
3. King Friday   (16-10, Pow#R: 14.1)  1
You could make a case that this is the #1 team currently. The 3 seed is now theirs to lose. Oh yeah, Werner is a #dad.
4. Belgian Wiffles   (17-11, Pow#R: 10.0)  1
Their season ended the way it started, Farkas lost and they got swept. They did clinch a playoff spot and will have 2 weeks off.
5. Flying Squirrels   (15-13, Pow#R: -3.3)  
The Squirrels playoff hopes are in the hands of the Jizz. Even if they miss out, a very nice season for the Squeaks.
6. Westside Warriors   (13-11, Pow#R: 3.8)  
Shore is in full NWLA mode, but once he returns to action Week 14, all he needs is a split to clinch the 5 seed. #rundiff
7. Wolfpack   (9-17, Pow#R: -12.8)  2
Belgian will be closely watching the Wolfpack's final series vs. King Friday. In other news, Mark Brannan is a true #dad.
8. Oakland County Onanism   (11-13, Pow#R: -2.7)  1
You are still alive in the playoff race, and you forfeit against your Ringler division rivals. Come on, Kiefer!
9. Holy Balls   (8-20, Pow#R: -22.3)  1
Tough season for the Purple Gang. Last year they seemed to overachieve, and this year they completely #underachieved.
10. Islanders   (4-22, Pow#R: -26.6)  
The Motor City Bucs with another split. Villarreal is most likely the best player in the league no one knows about.

The Room Power Rankings

6. La Quinta Room 1
I am not mad at Shore for his intensity. Three of these guys will be in Columbus Thursday night to jam, so they aren’t total squares. I respect Shore and his “all-in” attitude, but this room will be all business. Strict lights out, scheduled bathroom times, and 3-4 hours of game film watching is a little much.
5. Who knows where Room
Last year, Nick and Josh had “that” room. If you don’t know what I mean by “that”, just take a guess. These guys come to Ohio to get away from their mundane lives in Michigan, and know how to have a fun time. Did they go overboard last year? Yes. If they dial it back a few notches, this could be the underdog room of the weekend.
4. Drury Room
Sessions already lost Mark Phillips to La Quinta 3, and that hurts. Ryan Bullard is the only reason this room isn’t ranked last. He is hands down one of the top drinkers in the league, and he won’t allow his Squirrel teammates Sessions and Adams to be boring. If you want some Fireball, head to the Drury, I promise you that Bull-train will have some.
3. La Quinta Room 3
This room has the core guys from the Step-dads, and I can’t wait to spend some time in here. Nicco Lollio always has something to say, whether it’s a movie quote from a flick no one’s ever heard of, or a reference to his wonderful flow. Mark Phillips made a big decision to go to this room, and his wisdom is something I admire and must respect.
2. Marriot Room
The Coffee bros and Corbs have been rooming in Ohio since 2005, and it’s never boring. They added Castle last minute so Corbs would have someone to kick in his sleep. Nick Coffee ranks up there with Bullard as one of the top drinkers, and he won’t disappoint. You never know when Corbs will quietly turn on the camera to film some hijinx, so be ready.
1. La Quinta Room 2
This may sound like an upset, but I love the dynamite of guys in this room. You could be standing around a pile of donkey shit, and Chandler and Kyle would turn it into a good time. Austin Bischoff in Ohio only does legendary stuff, and the back and forth conversations with these guys is expected to be #hilar. Little E’s awkwardness will only make everything that much better.
