Sun-sational Six (Week 13)

When we last left you in Week Whatever, the coronation of the BGoffs was pretty much a certainty, and everyone else was pretty well playing for second place.

How times change when the S-list goes away for months at a time. Surprise, surprise.

Without further do-do, here's this week's top half-dozen:

1. Patton Inmates (Last ranking: partly crabby): Hate to go with the easy simile, but the Inmates have simply gone crazy since the last update. Their record is something like something good and something pretty small. I know, impressive. Got to give the PI's credit for pitching and hitting, but not so much defense. The details are in the stats, people.

2. Zeroes (Last ranking: fairly foreign): Told you guys this team would be pretty good, which was after it had faltered, gotten good, did OK and then did just all right. Paulo's squad looks primed to knock off the BGoffs from their top perch in Week 14, but we don't want to get ahead of ourselves. We'll just revel in the Zeroe's greatness for the time being.

3. Godfathers (Last ranking: Texan through and through): Still not sure how the G-daddies do it, but they are just damn good week after week. Not sure they will have enough names to overtake the Inmates in the second half, but the G-papas sure have the look of a playoff team, unless the Pontiffs give the Derelicts more great players for nothing.

4. BGoffs (Last ranking: Perfectly Pittsburgh-ian): Somebody forgot to tell Brian this sport has nothing to do with the Steelers, but he's done pretty well for himself having two Pittsburgh players in his lineup all season. Actually, the impressive part of the Bammers have been their pitchers, and that might just carry them to a playoff spot in the second half.

5. Derelicts (Last ranking: Northern lit): We raise our Bics to the Derelicts, who not only are in the mix for a playoff spot in the best division in baseball (hey, one-out-of-two ain't bad), but also have shored up a pretty stout club with some incredible trades. Now, if we could just get him to quit cheering for those loser Mariners. Oh well.

6. Moaners (Last ranking: Positively moan-a-rific): No doubt this distresses, Mikee, getting named to the best of the best. "But I'm sneaking up on everyone and working my way to the top of the division," Mike moans. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We see you comin', Commish, and you're right. It ain't pretty. Thanks for the visual.
