The Playoffs are closing in...

With one division game left some teams are in panic mode, while others are ready to go into cruise control. Next week will begin the less intense non-division schedule. Teams will have a chance to cleanse their pallet and maybe play on a different field. Lets see how each division does. I will post the record for each division weekly. Good luck and represent!

Power Rankings - Week 4
#1 Shockers
The Shockers will be playing the win-less Looking to Score for their final division game. Its pretty safe to say that they will finish their division schedule undefeated, securing the #1 seed for the playoffs. They will be playing two of the tougher teams from the Sun Rise Division during their non-division schedule. Maybe the Sun Rise teams can upset the #1 Shockers.
#2 Balls & Dolls
The Balls & Dolls are undoubtedly the 2nd best team in the league. They have clinched a playoff spot and can relax until then. Their last division game will be against the inconsistent Los Totally Awesomes. Strangely enough the Bs & Ds will also be facing two of the better teams from the Sun Rise Division for their non-division games.
#3 I'd Hit It
I'd Hit It is riding high! They are one of the elite undefeated teams and have the opportunity to finish their division schedule that way. They will be playing a playoff hungry Pirates! team. Hungry teams equal winning teams. My advice: If you want to stay undefeated take one game at a time.
#4 Family Jewelz
In earlier power rankings I suggested that the Jewelz wouldn't be really tested until their non-division games. However that was before the Multiple Scoregasms went 3-1, their only loss coming from a blown save from the now benched pitcher, Evil Aldo. On paper the Jewelz look to be an impressive team but as the saying goes; You need to talk the talk and walk the walk.
#5 Multiple Scoregasms
This team is way better than their stats indicate. During the next three weeks they will have a chance to prove they deserve to be #1, not #5. They face a gauntlet of great teams by far the hardest three game schedule this season. They will face the #4 Jewelz, then the #1 Shockers, and to top it off the #2 Balls & Dolls. If they survive this true test of kickball skill, they should be handed the King of Kickball title immediately without having to play the playoffs.
#6 Sons of Pitches
These Pitches seem to have finally gotten their team together. They are peeking at the absolute right time. They have a big game this week against Los Fronchyz. This game is a must win if they want to guarantee a playoff spot. They need to carry last weeks momentum into this game.
#7 Los Totally Awesomes
LTA has been surprisingly hit or miss this season. This team was expected to make the playoffs for sure but now they are in risk of missing the post-season all together. They can still lose their next game and possibly have a chance at making the playoffs but better not to leave anything to chance. They will be up against #2 Balls & Dolls so they have a chance of walking away with a playoff berth and a massive upset victory.
#8 Los Fronchyz
This is another team that is in need of a big win to get into the playoffs. They have tons of potential especially at the pitcher position. However their defense is 2nd worst in the league and may hurt them during their next game. They face the Sons of Pitches, who don't have a devastating offense but enough to end Los Fronchyz playoff hopes. Some might ask; then why are they ranked so high? Well wins in the Mountain Star division just count a little bit more.
#9 1 More Shot
The kickball Gods have smiled upon the players of the 1 More Shots. They are included in the list of teams in need of a win to secure a playoff berth. But lucky for them they have a great chance to get their. Their last division game will be against the win-less Violet Femmes. They've been practicing and increasing their kickball knowledge so they have a great look at this game. A win will guarantee them a playoff run.
#10 Pirates!
All hands abandon ship! Its time to walk the plank! The Pirate's ship has been taking on water all season and is about to sink. Obviously playing with peg legs and eye patches didn't work out as they planned. Not to mention the flock of parrots that infested their dugout. I'm sure the Captain tried as hard as he could but I think its time for the crew to mutiny. Either that or next stop is Davy Jone's Locker. ( Yea! how many was that...8 pirate refrences? you know it!)

#11 Looking to Score

Sadly Looking to Score wont be making the playoffs this season. However there are still games to be played. Hopefully now the pressure is off and they can enjoy the rest of the season. They still have a good chance to pick up some wins before the season is over.

#12 Violet Femmes

This team has greatly improved each week but it was all a little too late to make the playoffs. They may finish the division schedule win-less but don't look for them to finish the entire season win-less. If the Mountain Star teams think that the Violet Femmes be an easy win, they will be surprised when its game time.

This was so right. Never take any game for granted. Anyone can beat anyone. We found out the hard way. We are very lucky to escape.
