| There is just a week and a few days before playoff Sunday arrives. So it only makes sense to look ahead to the playoffs.
Complete Plumbing; don’t let their recent hot streak fool you; they have not beaten a good team since they topped the Grocer about a month ago.
Crupi Law, had a terrible finish to the season with loses to Griffith and Jakes. The team needs strong leadership.
Harding, with all their young talent, who knew Harding would have become such a GREAT team year this early.
Grocer, they could end up being the most underrated and least-talked about No. 7 seed ever.
Remax, how weird was the season finale on Tuesday, when they played the School, a couple days before those same two teams turn around and begin a playoff run? Did they send a message to the rest of the league?
Justin Case, this is the time of the year when these guys get their shine on. Their performance last year in the playoffs makes everyone optimistic.
Jakes, they finished strong, but their last two defeats came against Kelsey’s and Wild Wing which says something about them. Lack of playoff experience may hurt them.
Wild Wing, they did not look good down the stretch, going 6-5 in their last 11. If anything, it cost them first place in the division.
School, their defense remains a concern heading into the playoffs, but if they continue scoring runs they may have a shot. Internal pressure is huge on this team.
Kelsey’s, they are on full cruise control time until the final on Sunday afternoon.

| 'Total'..you are definately entitled to your own opinion
Lacking Leadership??? I think you should change your logon name to 'Total Crap'...a little more fitting....

| ***Sorry, I posted this as its own thread. It is now where it belongs *** As said either by the Bojack guy, your opinion is definitely warranted on a forum such as this. However, judging by your comments Total Crap....your either on Kelseys or Harding..

| Calm down boys, it was just my personal judgment of the teams. I would like to see you rate the top ten teams. Harding and Kelsey's will be in the finals.

| Not to worry..I'm very calm. There is no need to rate all 10 teams...
I can tell you Harding and Kelseys won't be in the finals.
Like every year, there is only one team to beat and that's Remax...You should worry about getting by them first!

| Total Idiot, Plumbers haven't beat a good team since the grocer because they haven't played a good team since the grocer!! I didn't even read the rest of your comment, but I'm sure you made 9 other idiotic reasons why the other teams aren't as good as your own.

| Ummm, sgn. You guys hit well for 2 innings last night, and were squeezing the bats so tight they were ready to explode. It's hardly time to begin your celebration dance. There are still 5-6 games to go before hoisting the trophy, and lots can happen between now and Sunday afternoon.

When have I heard that before??? Oh yeah, in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2006.
sgn, the playoffs are longer than just 2 innings. Let’s see who’s still standing on Sunday afternoon, but I agree with xamer, … I’m betting that it’s not Jake’s.

| Never mind Friday night. As always, the Saturday 4pm games will be the most important. Kelsey’s/Wild Wing at Crosby, and School/Jakes at Ashton should both be excellent games.

| CC&Coke..Why would he be on Harding? Cause he gave us a compliment. I can bet ya he ain't..Cause I don't think anyone on our team knows that much or cares that much to post such a detailed post. We are just happy to be hanging with the big boys..And happy to have more than 5 wins this for once..Yee-haa...

| wearzy, I thought that might get your attention! You guys did play great on Monday...for ONE INNING. It'll take more than that to win a championship. I have to say though, this year has been the most balanced championship side in a few years. Should be interesting games from here on out. Which is where Jake's will be..OUT. Sorry wearzy had to get one last jab.

| Blah,blah,blah... you're all full of hot air and me,me,me. Champions show quiet confidence. The School is poised for this weekend. They will blow away everyone. Plumbers will once again fall a little short but do well to reach the finals. The most entertaining game of the weekend will be the Conny final between Mas and TLSF. Both will score in the 30's and Normie will finally get to hoist a cup....hic!

| I put it on paper (so to speak), School in a romp! If anyone can beat them, it's the Wing. I just have a feeling that they will run out of gas. Plumbers are the next best team right now. Kelsey's and Jakes have some very good players, but the supporting cast isn't there for either squad. Griffey Jr was the best player for years, how many rings does he have? School, fool...you read it here.

You are all very entertaining...NL , when did you learn so much about school, you never seemed like the scholastic type (but I do like your team)...SHR, Sylvia pays alot of money, least you can do is spell it properly R.E.M.A.X (and you're time has passed)... Bojack, IF is a very big word...if a magic Genie comes out of the sky and...(your team is just not good enough to win the whole shabang), unless of coarse, the Genie shows up. As the quote above suggests, show me don't tell me.
I'll catch up to you all Monday. Good Luck !!

How did you know I was hoping for a Genie to pop out of my ass? If one does and gets me a few hits, I'm all for it!
You need a little luck in the playoffs to pull it off.
You are right...the ones that talk usually carry the smaller stick...
I guess we'll see Sunday night....who talk's the talk...

| Hey, bottle open do you have cork for brains? You must be playing in the conny or on the school. That ESL writing course is paying enormous dividends for you. Have you played Jakes or Kelsey’s this year? They are the best two squads in this tournament. Good Luck

| All of you prognosticators had it wrong. The Plumbers were victorious in 2007!
Neither Kelsey’s or Grocer even made it to Sunday, and while The School and Jakes played well, they wilted under the playoff sun and spotlight.
I imagine that the boys from Jakes are now much more appreciative of what it takes to win on Championship Sunday, much less do it 5 times in 6 years.

| Gimme...I would have to attend to agree with you regarding us (Jakes)using this as a learning experience. Next year a team supply of sunscreen. you could cook an egg on my neck!, as well using beverages of the alcholic nature to re-hydrate between games..ahh yaaa..bad idea! As for Xamer..I GUARANTEE were back next year stronger then ever..Good season all!
