You now those are based on the current week right? So you played the school of the blind and beat them in a 4 game series, congrats! You are now ranked #3 in the power rankings this week!

Thanks!

It's only the second week of the season so technically Jerry wasn't far off

lol, I know wins and losses for the current week plays a very big part in the rankings. There are obviously other things involved.

One of those trades that makes sense on both sides for 2 very different types of players.
Our trades are few and far in between but when they do happen I have always enjoyed the outcomes and very easy talks.

Same here. But we'll take it. A winning Beef team is good for the league. It shows everyone else you don't have to have a Boston squad to compete and gain some post season revenue. Just don't see us making the playoffs this year though. The pitching is absolutely horrendous on this years team and the bats are just good enough to keep us in some games.
