Monday Night Softball

Firmly on the Vito Power bandwagon, and perhaps with good cause to be, the HSL Website has Vito Power v. Milwuakee's Best as this weeks game of the week. I'm sure this game will be great, but there are a couple other match ups out there where you might not normally find them. While Thursday has constantly dominated the league as Game Night, and as such most of the highlighted games have been on that night with the exception of a few Tuesday games, Monday is the day to watch this week with 3 big games and the mismatch of the week including in the 6 games on the scheduler for tonight.

GAME OF THE WEEK:

Don Johnson's v. Scared Hitless - The DJ's are getting a late start and many think their current ranking is inflated. They'll get their chance to prove their worth against a team leading the league in games played, wins and runs scored. Coming off a loss last week, Hitless is showing their not scared playing both the Don Johnson's on Monday, and Moderately Sober on Thursday, being the first team to 14 wins may have to wait another week.

Other Games of Note:

Liberal Agenda v. Cap City Brewing Flyers - two teams quietly having solid seasons, this match up doesn't have reverberating effects on the rest of the league, but should be some good softball to watch. CCBF will likely walk away with this, walk mind you, not run.

Moderately Sober v. Natty Boh All-Stars - in a bizarre game, a 10-1 win team comes in as an underdog against a 6-4 team. Kansas found out the hard way last week that Mod Sober can't be overlooked, and with only one top 50 win (against #50 Hired Guns) the All-Stars have a lot still to prove. Look for Moderately sober to win this and their Thursday match up against Scared Hitless.

Saints v. Playmates - coming off a big loss to the Big Lebowskis, the Playmates are looking for a win to get back in the saddle. Sitting at 3-2 the saints need to start filling out their schedule and a win here could vault them into the top 20.

Dead Presidents v. UN Do's - truthfully, this likely won't be much of a game, but at 4-2 after starting the season off kind of rocky, the UN Do's are making a solid charge toward the post season. This will be a chance for another quality win for the DP's.

Suspicious Packages v. Dukes of Haphazard - possibly a game of the week nomination, the Packages are going to be looking to bounce back from last weeks perfect season ending loss to Big in Japan. Unfortunately they get the Dukes coming off a painfully imperfect 13-4 loss of their own to the Insliders, leaving both teams to decide who wants it more.

MISMATCH OF THE WEEK:

Bakers Dozen v. Potomac Fever - 13 is definitely going to be an unlucky number this week for the Bakers Dozen and a 20 run loss to Pot Fever wouldn't be a hallucination. I applaud both teams though, in a season riddled with cancellations, it's great to see mismatches even play out.

BEERIFIC GAME OF THE WEEK:

Blue Mold v. Tequila Mocking Birds - while the records show these power houses for what they are, the reality is that the peripherals indicate another story. While offense may be lacking, the teams have only allowed a combined 10.2 runs per game with a combined 1-12 record. Find a bat or two and these teams could really get turned around.
