Power Rankings after Week #11

        First of all, I would like to thank Dominic Scicluna, Scotty Martin, Melissa David, RJ Pooch, Greg Ponto Suttie, Christopher Funk, Ed Dravecky, Chava Manzo, and Alan Balthrop for reading and commenting on last weeks Power Rankings.  

        In the Power Rankings I will, first of all, put the top ten teams in my Stable.  Then, I will put the rest of The Herd out to pasture (in no particular order).  Finally, I will name The Deuce, the two teams in the PASL that are stinking up the outhouse. 


THE STABLE

1. Monterrey Flash  They beat La Fiera at home without any hangups and improved to 11-1 on the season, but now they have to go back to Hidalgo next week to face their division rival La Fiera for the 4th and last time of this regular season.

2. Chicago Mustangs  They are 8-0 and have beat the Illinois Piasa twice in a row, that is impressive right?  They sure would fall hard if Cleveland were to end their winning streak next week.

3. Hidalgo La Fiera  I think their biggest problem is that they served almost 30 minutes of a 60 minute game in the penalty box and they will be a few men short the next time around with the Flash.

4. Las Vegas Legends  The Legends are a dangerous team with speed, crisp passing, and the ability to score in bunches.  With Qeeks Tovar leading the team, Ivan Campos scoring and dealing out the ball, and Ricardino, Felipe Gonzalez, and Alex Caceras, who are speedy goal scorers that keep the opposing defense on their heels, and add to that Israel Sesay and Zeke Sanchez in goal, dangerous.

5. Cleveland Freeze  Allen Eller and Stefan Ostergren are having career seasons and are key parts in the improvement and success of  the Freeze in their inaugural PASL season.  The Freeze just beat Detroit and I think they will end the Mustangs undefeated streak this Saturday.

6. Dallas Sidekicks  After losing to Hidalgo, the Sidekicks handed 4-6 Wichita their 3rd loss of the season, beat 0-10 Texas, now they will face 1-9 Tulsa for the 4th time this season before facing 0-10 Texas again. 

7. San Diego Sockers  The Sockers were already hurting last Saturday with McNeley and Martin sitting the game out, but to have Velez get the boot really hurt the Sockers defensively.  That is still no excuse for how terrible their first half was against the Legends.

8. Detroit Waza Flo  Detroit stays at #8 after losing to the Freeze in Cleveland and then traveling home to beat divisional rival the Harrisburg Heat.  That Game with the Freeze was a wild one with 55 fouls and 51 minutes in penalties.  Detroit is 3-4 on the powerplay over their last 2 games and will continue their 4 game home stand taking on the Cincinnati Saints on Saturday, and then turn around and host the Illinois Piasa on Sunday.

9. Mexico Toros  Mexico is 5-5 and is coming off a win against the Legends at home.  Mexico will play 6 games in less than a month with 2 games against Sacramento, 2 against Bay Area, and 1 against Turlock and San Diego.  Mexico has a great shot at making it into the postseason where anything can happen, especially if they get hot at the right time.

10. Cincinnati Saints  All I had left to fill the 10 spot in my Stable were teams with losing records, so I think that Cincinnati is the best team with a losing record right now and they are coming off of a win against the Harrisburg Heat. 

THE HERD

  • Harrisburg Heat
  • Illinois Piasa
  • Saltillo Rancho Seco
  • Wichita B-52's
  • Tulsa Revolution
  • Bay Area Rosal
  • Turlock Express
  • Ontario Fury
  • Sacramento Surge

THE DEUCE

1.  Texas Strikers  .000 win percentage

2.  The Sockers first half of play last Saturday   PEEEWWWWW!!!  That stinks!!!  I have had some deuces dropped in the outhouse before, but there is no aerosol spray made that can cover up that stink.  I had to lick my armpits to get that funky taste out of my mouth.  If I was my old man I would be lighting matches all night.  I have been wiping my son's ass for three years and I have never seen or smelt anything like that.
