CWL 2008

CWL Special Feature
WEEK 1 POWER RANKINGS By Mitch Mitchellson 4.22.08
Team	"The Mitch" Says
1. Yahtzee (2-0)	So what if they beat the worst team in the CWL, they still outscored Smoke 21-1, and tossed back-to-back no-nos. That's impressive, no matter who you're facing. Too bad for them it won't be as easy this weekend.
2. Rage (2-0)	Again, so what if they beat a sub-par club, they're looking at a 2-0 record and your team isn't. Rage won big even though Cox wasn't sharp, and they won again despite being shutdown by TNT's Burgiss. They find ways to win.
3. Str8 Rippin' (1-1)	Talk about a night and day difference from game 1 to game 2. Rippin' beat Goodfellas' Stafford like a common street whore, then turned around and got themselves worked over by McDowell. The verdict's still out on Str8 Rippin'.
4. Goodfellas (1-1)	The ace, Stafford, ain't lookin' so ace-ish after the first game. He was second-inning dominated all game day. McDowell, however, looks to be the teams' go-to guy from now on. The bats also have to come alive soon, walks are the only reason the first game was even close, the second game wasn't much better.
5. TNT (0-2)	More than anything, TNT needs a lineup overhaul. Wyatt hitting third, are you kidding me? Also, TNT needs someone not named Burgiss, or Rue for that matter, to step up and do something to help the team win. Things, however, aren't looking any better this weekend.
6. Smoke (0-2)	One run, no hits, mercy-ruled twice. Need I say more? It's week 2 and Smoke is already in need of a shake up.
