Top 5 in C
1. Linedrive - An excellent tourney again. Double dipping TG/TPS for the 'Ship and playing great all over
2. TG/TPS - Right behind Linedrive, these guys are still a rock solid team and a force to be reckoned with in C
3. R & L - With a week off, nobody jumps up in front of them this week so they remain a top 3 team again
4. Mayhem - A good weekend for them, but are struggling against top teams. They really need to turn a corner and make a push in a full field
5. Korody - A great run for them after a first game loss, coming back and rattling off 4 including a payback to Mayhem. If this is indicative of the rest of their season, they're gonna pull some upsets
Surprise of the week - Korody
A big boost for them and solid run. They picked a good time to get hot
Disappointment of the week - Fire in the Hole
1 win on the season so far, they just can't seem to get anything going
Top 5 in D
1. Mush Reloaded - No surprise here. 1 loss, albeit to an E team, didn't slow them down a bit. Coming back on Sunday and double dipping TNT, just shows the grit and talent these guys have
2. Drama - 2-2 isn't bad but knocking of DO and Perkins before losing to Blue Crush and a very hot Jim's Beef team coupled with a consistent year moves them up to 2
3. Blue Crush - 2 really good pickups and a team to play with every weekend. They showed up ready to play this weekend and finished a very respectable 4-2. They're turning around really quick
4. DO/Mushtube - 2-2 and doing fine but expectations got a little high early and they have since hovered right around .500. Still a good team, but I think even they would like to expect another high finish sometime soon
5. Apex & Sandbaggers - I'm gonna sneak them both into the top 5 this week. 3-2 is a good finish for Apex who is staying consistent. 5 -2 for the Baggers is a very nice recovery and they played some tough games to get there
Surprise of the week - Jim's Beef
1st time in U-Trip, playing 10 games in a weekend, and playing the last 9 from the losers bracket. That is one hell of a run
Disappointment of the week - Phillies
From top 5 last week to 0-2. They didn't look very good at all and really need to get back on track
Top 5 in E
Note: I would probably have TNT Softball in the rankings, but since I don't know how often they'll be coming to the mitten I'm keeping the top 5 in E to MI teams
1. Trust/Wicked - Still #1. First 2 losses in 4 tourneys came against the hottest teams of the weekend. I have no doubt they'll bounce right back next time out
2. Repo Monkey - Definitely not their best showing this season but still way too talented to move down yet
3. X Factor - Not at LPA this week, but missing guys and splitting a roster apparently, they went out and had another good display of their talents and won a few games along the way
4. Syndicate - Like them or not, they're consistent and have alot of moxey. A stunning game against Dooley's and a nice win over Apex puts the solidly back in the top 5
5. Trust Sports & Own It/DO - Neither team had a pariculary great tourney, but both teams are too talented right now to remove from the top 5
Surprise of the week - ALOT!!!
Represent had a great tourney and won some really good games this weekend. Dooley's finally looks like their coming alive. Not a surprise really, but seeing TNT in action this weekend made me believe some of the hype. Mushsportz played some of the most fun games I've watched all year. This was a great tourney for E softball in general
Disappointment of the week - Kings
They are just not consistent. Good weeks followed by bad. Offense that looks unstoppable followed by 4 runs in 2 games. Defense is going to carry them through alot of games, but that will start to wear on any team come Aug/Sept
