Weekly Preview:

The upcoming week doesn't seem as action packed as past weeks have been, including last week with all the extra bonuses to softball to watch, like Wimbledon, the Nationals on the 4th of July, or Joey Chestnut beat Kobayashi for the 3rd consecutive year! There aren't the same number of marquee match ups, but all in all, there are some pretty solid games out there.

GAME OF THE WEEK:

The Resolutionaries v. Shock Exchange - that's right folks, this isn't the top tier teams facing off for the #1 spot, or some ancient rivalry. Going through this weeks games, I found a match up that pits two nearly equal teams against each other. With identical winning records, very simliar RPI, runs scored and runs allowed totals, this could be one of the closest match ups of the week, thus, in my mind, making it the game of the week.

Other Intriguing Games:

Blue Pups v. Insliders - many would have thought this the game of the week, but really, if the Blue Pups win now it will be an upset, and you can't have an upset in a game of the week.

*Strike Place Market v. The Big Lebowskis - this could be an interesting game. SPM is looking to establish itself as a league power, the Dude is returning from an injury and itching to bring his team back from a tough loss, look for a good match up here.

Swift Justice v. Capitol Punishment - best team name match up of the season, maybe they should just merge forces and exact Swift Punishment on the rest of the league.

*24sixers v. WAsabi - WAsabi, like their GOP counter part Washingtonians SPM, are also looking to prove they are contenders, meanwhile, the 24sixers are sporting a tidy 5-0 record.

MISMATCH OF THE WEEK (Split):

Metro All Stars v. The Emperors Club - I give props to Metro for playing this and not panicking about their RPI like some teams would do. If you're ever going to win a game Emperors Club, the time is now.

Dragon Slayers v. Kicking Asses - Apparently so distraught by their loss, the Dragon Slayers had to take 15 days off and schedule two teams ranked in the 100's to recover. Good luck Asses (the Kicking ones).

* Editors note: look for the end of the season WAsabi v. SPM Washington State Rivalry showdown to be pretty good this year.
