#6) (unranked) New Orleans Card Sharks (gator993) 21-15. Card Sharks took it personal that they weren't in the first ever Edmonds world power rankings. They went 3-0 vs. Los Angeles, 2-1 vs. San Juan, 2-2 vs. Sacremento, 1-3 against Arizona, and 1-2 against Chicago. They have allowed the fewest runs scored in the AL with 136.

#8) (same) Las Vegas Pit Bosses (yonerandred) 21-15. Las Vegas has series wins over Houston 3-1, and series losses to Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and Scottsdale 1-2.

#9) (7) Houston Hamers (darrenpv) 20-16. Key series victories over Scottsdale and Nashville 2-1, and series losses to Boston and Las Vegas.

#10) (8) Arizona Cowboys (gogomez1) 20-16. The Cowboys take the 10th spot beating out Memphis and San Juan. All three teams have the same record. Cowboys have series victories over New Orleans 3-1, Los Angeles 3-0, but was swept by San Juan 0-3.

Bulletin Board material:

Memphis- last week's #1 gets no love this week. Series losses to Los Angeles, San Juan, and Chicago have Memphis on the outside looking in. Will they be back next week?

San Juan- last week's #6 falls out of the rankings. Series losses to New Orleans, Los Angeles, and Chicago keep them out, even though they have series wins against Arizono, Memphis, and Sacremento.

Tell us who you think is overrated, and who should be ranked higher! Let the smack begin.

I would of thought the N.O. should be higher but the 1-3 series vs Arizona hurt. I expect a big week coming up with the draft included. Nice job Blitz!

I'm gonna predict next week sees an American League club on top. Boston, Scottsdale, and Nashville have tough schedules. Mayhem has a tough schedule too. Can the N.O. come out on top?
