C Rankings
1. TGI: They have a number of 1st place finishes, one 3rd place finish, and a 5th place finish at a major, finishing 2-2 with an average runs scored per game of almost 30 runs. They are the most consistant, here-to-stay C team I have seen.
2. LineDrive: Photo finish for the #1 spot this week after LineDrive puts on a show at the Major this past weekend and beating TGI. They are a solid team. Their bats seem to be alive, and if they can play solid defense, they’ll be able to avoid mishaps like losing to MushReloaded.
3. P&P 333 Going 0-2 at the Major, P&P lost by 2 runs to a B team, and put up 23 runs against an A team. Anyone that can hang with the big boys like that deserves credit and lands themselves in the top 5.
4. Mayhem: they’ve had their way with a number of D teams, and seem to be a solid team in May. I’m hesitant to make them a legitimate threat in C, but they have a good squad, a bunch of nice guys, and I’m hoping for the best out of this bunch.
5. Korody: I don’t have a lot of options here, but Korody has the talent and the opportunity to stay in the top 5. I don’t believe they will, but we’ll see. They only beat Perkins by 2, and lost to D-Nation. They’re supposed to be better than that, and I think they will improve as the summer progresses.
D Rankings
1. MushReloaded: With a few wins against significant C teams, and coming off their first tournament win of the season down in Ohio, they are the real deal. #1 right now with a prediction to be #1 the rest of the summer.
2. DO/Mushtube: I’m not sure if 2 losses to Trust/Wicked says something about how DO should have won those games or that Trust is too good for E, but they are 0-2 against E teams, but have made significant improvement since their 1-2 spring states showing. They now have a second and third place finish and if their coach makes the right moves at the right time in the games they should be a force in D all summer.
3. Apex: I don’t know a TON about this team other than they ran through the Taylor Mudfest a few weeks ago. They had to beat a few solid teams to get there but we’ll know more after this month is over. Don’t sleep on Apex, stay tuned, tons of raw talent, needing to put it together.
4. Detroit Phillies: Coming off a 3rd place finish in Ohio, they have C talent hidden on a D team. With work, they could be a top 3 team.
5. D-Nation: Mixed results for the vote on the board about their uniforms, I personally like them, the fact that they use the Old English D, and I love Monster so that’s cool too. On to softball… They don’t seem to have the consistency they were looking for at the beginning of the season but don’t count them out. They have the talent and the personnel to make a name in D, but they have to get started NOW if they want to get on a role.
Surprise of the week: Detroit Phillies
-Finishing 3rd at the D NIT in Ohio going 3-2, the Phillies could be a force to be reckoned with.

Flop of the week: Khaos
-losing to Joe’s and Blue Crush, both by 5. Could have been worse, but they have too much potential to be finishing 0-2 ever.
