Power Rankings Week 15

So we've completed 15 weeks of FMLB and there are like 7 to go until the playoffs start, so things are starting to shake out. Great matchup this last week between The Riot (1st in PR and 1st in league standings) and I got 2 BJs (2nd in PR and 2nd in league standings). It was a very even matchup, with 2BJs coming out on top to take over sole possession of the league lead, but did they catch The Riot in the power rankings, stay tuned. This week's MVP is Nate McLouth of 2BJs. It was a less than spectacular week for everyone, but we ranked McLouth as #1. For the week he hit .290 but had an OPS of 1.139 that included 4HRs. He also scored 9 runs, had 9RsBI and stole a couple of bags. Solid week. The LVP this week is Carlos Gomez of Lincecum for Pres. Gomez was 1/26 for a .038 avg for the week with and OPS of .076, the good news is that he had 1 RBI, but no other statistics to be proud of.

The weekly rankings were so tough that we had a tie. For the first time ever, both teams tied to lead the pitching, and tied to lead the hitting categories for the week. Not only was that impressive, but they both played the teams that came in 3rd and 4th in the rankings this week, so it was a good effort and showing up when you needed to show up. The tie winners are: Ramirez Bros & Co and I got 2 BJs

How much you want for that grill Manny?


The great week for 2BJs was still not enough to catch The Riot, who holds the overall lead for the 10th week in a row....bask

Power Rankings Week 14

And we're back with another weekly addition of LoV Fantasy Beisbol power rankings. Everyone was pretty even this week in their matchups. This week's MVP race was a close one. And while JJ Hardy had the most insane week, we can't rightfully call him an MVP as he wasn't even owned for most of the week. So, we move on to the next guy and that's NL all-star Matt Holliday of captain delux. Matty hit .429 hit 3HRs including a Grand Slam, had 10RsBI and scored 8 runs. He also stole 3 bags and had an OPS of 1.286 (just a side note JJ Hardy hit .600 with 6HRS and an OPS of 1.992). The LVP for the week was Jeff Keppinger of I Need More DL Spots. Kep was 1/23 for a .043 average and an OPS of .126. (and to think that he was owned all week, whilst JJ Hardy was on the waiver wire...hmmm).

On to the power rankings. This week was pretty close overall, and featured a 3 way tie for 3rd place. But there can be only one winner and since I don't want to post a picture of Tim Lincecum, you get some random hot chick. The winner: Lincecum for Pres.


For the year, The Riot is in 1st for the 9th straight week, and 13th out of 14 overall....bisquick.

Power Rankings Week 13

Power rankings, blah. I spent the weekend in the mountains, so my team was fucked. Doesn't matter anyway, they suck. But this is not about me, it's about ranking the powers. This week's MVP is an absolute douche. Dustin Pedroia of Furry Balls decided to quit sucking pretty much the day I dropped him. This week he hit .556 with an OPS of 1.386, 2HRs, 7 runs scored and 5 RsBI, oh and he stole a base. The LVP happened to be on the team that I was playing this week, but it didn't matter. Prince Fielder of Captain Delux was a whopping 1/24 for an .042 avg and an OPS of .122, and he scored a run. It didn't matter though because the winner of the power rankings this week, for the first time this year is: Captain Delux


Enjoy being a woman...for the year The Riot is still in 1st, not a lot of movement this week but things are tightening up (TNWBS)...biscuit

Power Rankings Week 12

Here it is, the end of week 12. Right around the halfway point of the season (if you include the playoffs) and roughly 55% of the regular season is over. Things are starting to come together in the power rankings, at the top and the bottom. This week's MVP was Jermaine Dye of McNamee's Miller Lite. Dye hit .417 for the week, had 5 HRs, 13 RBIs and scored 7 runs. He also had an OPS of 1.607. On the flip side, the LVP for the week was Jason Varitek of Captain Delux. Captain Morgan and Cap'n Crunch had better weeks than "the captain" as "Tek" went 0/19 with no runs, rbis, brother never even got on base...serves bahhston right.

Anyway, on to the rankings. Good week this week, but the winner for the 3rd time was: McNamee's Miller Lite



For the year, the top 4 spots are a good fight, and the bottom 5 spots are all fairly closely bunched, but The Riot continues to stay in 1st for an unprecedented 7th straight week....bask

Power Rankings Week 11

There's a new sheriff in town, and he's got Crazy Eyes. But before we get to that how about this weeks MVP. Grady Sizemore of The Riot was this weeks best player. He only hit .308 for the week, but he scored 7 runs, had 5 HRs and 8 RBIs, he also swiped one bag. His OPS for the week was 1.302, well played sir. The LVP this week was Hunter Pence of Todd Packer. The Pence man was 2/23 for an .087 avg and an OPS of .217, he scored no runs, had no HRs, and no RBIs...loser.

So lets move on to this week's results. Let's start at the bottom (TWSS?). Anyway, a pathetic showing by Captain Delux resulting in the lowest score of the season, not to mention being shut-out in the league scoring...for shame. There was no doubt about this week's winner. They were the first team this year to win both overall pitching and overall hitting, the highest power ranking score of the year thus far, and it goes to: Crazy Eyed Killas



For the season, Tyler has moved up out of last place and there's a battle brewing for the bottom (TWSS)...basket

Power Rankings Week 10

And around the turn we go. We started the second time through the lineup, so now it gets tougher because everyone has seen Meiz's eephus pitch and won't be fooled by it again. Everyone knows that deluxe is a douche and chases the high heat, and that keith can't hit a curveball, bats are afraid. So you have to keep your head on a swivel and make adjustments, because there can be only ONE. This week's MVP is Joe Crede of Captain Delux. For the week, Crede hit .611 with an OPS of 2.223, he scored 9 runs, had 5 HRs, and 12 RBIs. The best thing about Joe Crede, Doucheluxe didn't start him even one day last week. Moron, no wonder he came in last in the power rankings for the second straight week. The LVP for this week was Adrian Beltre also of Captain Delux. Beltre hit .095 (2/21) with an OPS of .295, he scored 2 runs and had 1 RBI...but more importantly, he started every game for doucheluxe at 3b while Crede rode the pine. Hilarity ensues.

On to the power rankings. This weeks winner was: Furry Balls



For the year, The Riot continues in first place, and Crazy Eyed Killas settles back into the cellar...bask

Power Rankings Week 9

We have now gone through the entire rotation. Every team has played each other so nobody can complain that they've played a tougher or easier schedule anymore. Fucking whiners. Lots to cover this week. First, the MVP for the week. While Chase Utley, technically (according to Y!) had the better week, the MVP is White Jesus himself Jay Bruce of Crazy Eyed Killas. With his owner whining for weeks for him to be called up, he outplayed the hype. In his first full week of MLB, he hit .591 (13/22), scored 10 runs, had 6 RBIs, 2HR and stole 2 bases, all while having an OPS of 1.69. Un-be-fucking-lieveable week for a rookie. The LVP, was not quite as good. Again, Pudge Rodgriguez technically (according to Y!) had the worst week, our choice is Garret Atkins of Ramirez Bros. & Co. Fucking stupid ass Atkins helped the rockies lose 7 straight games and hit .087 (2/23) scored 2 runs and had an OPS of .212...finally a 3B that David Wright is better than.

For the rankings we had a couple of big items happen this week. The Riot had the best offensive week in the power rankings so far this season....while McNamee's Miller Lite tied the best overall rankings for the season. And they played each other in a battle of epic proportions. Without any further hutzpah, the weekly winner is: McNamee's Miller Lite



Year to Date, the Riot remains in first place and Meatloaf remains in last...bask
