So, if you haven't taken time to read the House League Smack Board, I suggest you click here and get to reading. The smack is heating up big time, and for good reason, the last few weeks, and this week, have pitted a ton of solid squads against each other and the match ups haven't disappointed.
I think if you wade through all the smack, and look past the shimmer of the so called "elites" teams, you're going to see a LOT of close games and a lot of parity throughout the league. There certainly are a few surprises out there in the Top 25, and some of those teams have run with the best of them.
Denny's Grand Slams weren't hearty enough to avoid picking up an early season loss to the Dragon Slayers, and then barely eeked by a surprising Strike Place Market in a 9 inning performance.
The Jesus and The Dude I'm sure had plenty of trouble abiding the spanking they received at the hands of the Texas Republic.
The Suspicious Packages are sitting right out in the open, leading the league with 6 wins.
The Dukes of Haphazard have two 1 run victories under their belt as they have made their way into the Top 5.
Even the Dead Presidents narrowly avoided a loss to the Homers in May.
The point here, is that the list of strong teams out there is well beyond the Top 5 and Top 10, this league is deep through the Top 20, and winning the Regular Season title, as important as that is, is gonna need to be backed up in the tournament when all these teams get a crack at you.
From where I'm sitting, there are any number of teams that could walk away with the title this year, and they aren't all in the Top 25 yet. So watch your backs out there, this season is going to have more twists and turns than Season of 24, and that may or may not be a good thing.
