CO Mile High Power Rankings (Week 4)

The weekly power rankings are determined by a poll of 15 Denver-area sports journalists. Commentary is provided by Kip Sayless, former Catalina Wine Mixers beat writer and author of Seven Reasons Logic Can Be Defeated By Yelling.

1. Your Mom (4-0) – The Kings (and Queens) of Small Ball are off to yet another hot start and seem motivated after last season’s embarrassing championship loss to American Riff Raff.

2. STU GOTZ (4-0) – Will this be the season STU GOTZ finally breaks through with a win over one of their chief rivals? All signs point to yes, as long as the captain’s bitter custody battle is resolved before it infects the locker room.

3. Dice. (2-1) – You have to question its players’ devotion to kickball after Week 3’s paper forfeit.

4. Coming From Behind (2-2) – Has got to stop letting other teams come from behind, both on and off the field.

5. Pitches Be Crazy (1-2) – An up-and-coming team that could do damage in the playoffs. Despite the name, its female players appear remarkably stable, independent and strong.

6. Drunken Monkeys (1-2) – A .500 record awaits if they can pull out a win against cellar-dwellar American Riff Raff.

7. Shenanigans (1-2) – It might be a rough week for Shenanigans as STU GOTZ looks to avenge the pilfering of star player Hat Girl. The early game might prove difficult as well, if Dice. decides to field a team.

8. Drinkers With A Kicking Problem (1-2) – This feast-or-famine squad will be dangerous if it finds a bit of consistency.

9. Bob Loblaws Ball Lawbers (0-3) – Showing up to socialize at Hayter’s would dramatically improve this team’s kickball skills.

10. American Riff Raff (1-2) – The days are truly dark for this once proud franchise. No relief in sight.
