| 1. Bloomington 20-2 8-0. Snuck bye NW Suburbs in late innings! Is this team for real come playoffs. or a bunch of young guys who's whole team shows up to everygame?
2. Minnetonka 25-5 7-1. Won 3 this week. Rematch looming with Bloomington Monday. I sense Minnetonka takes back the Riverview and top spot.
3. Capitals 19-7 12-0. Still dominating St. Paul in 1st year of eligibiliy. I sense a title game vs Minnetonka.
4. Lyons Pub 20-7 10-2. 10-runned Lakers. Top team in Park National
5. Park 18-5 8-1. Beat 2 good B and C teams. Lost to Shamrocks
6. Stockmens 15-6 9-0. Beat Hogs, Fan HQ, Stillwater. Won 13 in a row. Skylines only team worth mentioning. St. Anthony has pitching but not enough to be a top 10 team.
7. Air Freight 8-3 League. Beat 3 bottom league teames but on the rise. Will be there in the end.
8. Sport N Spine 11-8 10-1. Lost to North End. Have 2 pitchers that they heavily rely on.
9. Lakers 15-13 7-4. Beat Rocks, lost to Pub. Solid deep team. Scheduling 50 games in 60 days hurts there record but helps come playoffs.
10. Patriots 11-11 7-4. Beat Cobras. Seem to be back on track
Dropped from Rankings:
8. Angels 14-12 8-4. Lost 3 of 4 league games. Patritos, Pub and Rats
All-Star Game:
St Paul crushed Park National 15-6
Skyline beat Riverview 10-8
What does that mean? Absolutely nothing.
Its a exhibition with lots of guys from teams not playing or not pitching.

| Millers knock off solid Bandit team 6-0 last night. Score 5 in the bottom of 8th. Bandits are for real, look out come playoff time, wouldn't want to face them. Millers look ready for another run at state. This should be a fun state tourney this year, so many teams could win it!

| From what I heard Tonka played with out their 3 hitter/shortstop and leadoff/cf for the game so I wouldn't be giving Bloomington too much credit of being all that especially considering they didn't score a single run!

| Bandits are legit and I don't type that lightly. They run from top to bottom and as those in the know.....know....speed can change the dynamics of any "recreational" baseball game.
They are young, play hard and are fiesty which works to their advantage way more times then it doesnt. Plus like most young teams and all good young teams they feel as though they can beat anyone on any given day.
As far as their pitching they are a tad suspect but the several arms they do have are good enough and off speed enough to get the job done. Teams who struggle with off speed will struggle against these guys......they are absolutely legit.

| Speed can change a game I agree, but being able to score with power hitting and pitching will no doubt trump speed 9 times out of 10. I think bloominton is a good team but they need to find more of a dynamic to make a serious run other than being young and fast.

| Gnarkle is spot on with that take. Also many of the better teams have excellent catchers that can negate the speed game. Speed can be overwhelming against lesser teams which explains the Bandits 20-3 record against a fairly soft schedule.
