Sun-sational Six (Week 1 Edition)

Like the catcher who hits .500 the first week with three of his four HR he's going to hit for the season, the Sun-sational Six isn't fooled by fast starts. Impressed as hell, but fools? Nah.

Here's the SS-hit list after Week 1.

1. Moaners (Last week's ranking: 1): Get your blemishes while you can on the Moaners. Oh my god, the Moaners dropped two games in the first week. The world is coming to an end. Riggggghhhhht. We'll buy that right after we see it for another 25 weeks.

2. Badgers (Last week's ranking: 4): Any team with Albert Pujols batting a buck-something and still wins four games deserves a little respect. Since it's Andy, we hedge a bit. Still, there's no shortage of first-pick talent on this team, and over the long haul (as long as the Badges don't panic and sell Pujols low for say Manny PED-mirez), this group is going to contend.

3. Bammers (Last week's ranking: None): Probably dropped the ball on not including the Bammers on the preseason list. What? You thought this was science? Anyway, we're not completely sold with any team loaded with Pirates is going to be there when it counts, but the BGoffs do know a thing or two about powering to an SBL title or four. Welcome to the SS list.

4. Damian U (Last week's ranking: 2). The Sun-sational list is treating the Laker-lovers a little harsh, but man up, D-dog. This team definitely is built to repeat in the weaker division, but probably will have issues competing with the big dogs on the other side (or in this case, see those ranked 1-2-3 here). Anyway, the U's are no sheep.

5. Whiteskins (Last week's ranking: None). JP is probably looking around the room, saying, 'Who? Me?'" Yeah, what the hell, JP, you go 6-0 and you make a list. We're certainly not sold after four friggin' games of play, but crazier things have happened. You sure look a lot better than those pathetic CV Bombers or VW Godfathers. Just don't disappoint us.

6. Zeroes (Last week's ranking: 3): The Sun-sational list isn't fooled by the 1-5 start. There's way too much talent on this squad to be fooled by one week of competition. That means, get your act together this week or start looking for another list to get on, Paulo.
