| CBBR |
Coldwell Banker Burnhill |
5/2 |
Let's just face facts boys. CBBR has just one loss in 12 games and at their last game they didn't even use bats and still won 4-1 -- Jim said "Our goaltender was better than theirs". We are still trying to find a weak spot in their line-up. Maybe its all that youth in the line-up (Randy). I had these guys 4th at mid-season but they are the one's to beat now. same odds as the Boston Red Sox right now |
| BB |
Better Bitters |
3/1 |
BB has the most runs in the league 552 - that's 50 more than CBBR and twice as many as some of our teams. These guys get tired running the bases so many times. Maybe if you can tire them out early... But anything can happen - BDO tied them in the first round at mid-season and went on to win it all. What I want to know is how did they lose those 4 games in July? |
| CST |
CST Marketing |
5/1 |
These guys are just laying low - pretending to be singles hitters, then you will see a transformation come Friday - whammo - I predict CST goes undefeated all the way to the finals. The team has a lot of fun and has 7 wins in their last 10. Just back up to the fence boys. |
| GT |
Gator Ted's |
12/1 |
I still can't get over the fact that GT is in a three or four-way tie for the lead this year. These poor guys have had a number of health issues but keeps going like the energizer bunny. Chappy is still shaking his head at why this group isn't #2. I'd like to know what John Campbell's batting average is. It has to be in the.800's!! GT has 4 wins in their last 5 - they are still in the hunt for 1st overall. |
| IT |
Independent Traffic |
15/1 |
IT is a great team with an unlucky record in their last 10 games. You just know they mean business when you play against them. I think its great that Rick still comes out to support the team even though his season ended early. I pick IT as the team to surprise us during the YE tourney - Kerry and Bill will make it happen - guys just love playing for them. |
| BG |
Battlefield Graphics |
18/1 |
BG just looks mean because they wear the black jerseys. They do have some scarey bats on this team though. I can attest to how hard they hit it to the third base side. Back up a few feet for every one of them. How fast can a hamstring heal? Dave can still hit just fine with or without the aggravation. |
| GLH |
Great Lakes Hydraulics |
20/1 |
Well to be honest I would have bet $$ that GLH wouldn't be doing as well as they have been. They're like to lay-low unsung heros of the BOSL. They don't look like HR hitters but they are close to 500 Runs-For!! Neil Donaldson is clearly the best 70 year old pitcher in our league. |
| BOHC |
B.O.H.C. |
25/1 |
BOHC has a lot of character -- or is that a lot of characters?! You have to admit that its the mix of personalities on this team that makes them so unpredictable. We have our CBBR and BB and GT behemoths but look here -- we have Kevin and Kevin along with Eddie, Wayne, Rod, Russell and the one and only Dave Little. Sorry if I missed someone - maybe you are just finding it difficult to stand out in this crowd :-) |
| ME |
McCleary Electric |
30/1 |
ME is 7 and 3 in their last 10. They have a healthy Runs-For and the league's lowest Runs-Against record. Gibby always delivers and Mike Veerman is like the secret weapon here. Ron can you perform magic again and bring ME to the final? The odds aren't that bad. |
| BDO |
BDO Canada LLP |
35/1 |
I actually had us last overall for the mid-season and was shocked that we went all the way then stunned as everyone else was when we won the Consolation. Our bats have been on and off lately and if we didn't break that steel core DeMarini our odds would be better. Flash and Garth went 4-5 last game - this team is on the rise. |
| JA |
Jerry's Automotive |
50/1 |
Everyone has trouble hitting Jimmy Craig's solid pitching and Dave doesn't usually get on base - he clears them! Drex Jr. has lived up to the hype. We played them a couple games ago and watched them round the bases over and over again. They are a dark horse to win and don't forget they made it to the finals last tournament, but there's just too many great teams ahead of them this time. |
| MC |
Mortgage Centre |
75/1 |
Mark Flood and Gunther know how to party but that might be the problem here :-) the team has only 2 wins in their last 7. Did you know this team has the best defense in the entire league? See what speed i the outfield and great pitching can do for you? |
| DC |
Deeth & Company |
100/1 |
I don't know if its just this team's former glory or if it's really true that they stand a chance this time around. With Rocco's pitching and big John Dad Agostino's HR swing, you would think that's all they need. The question remains can Mike Grunt Drexler and Kevin Shirley Temple Gilligan solve or manage manage John Oop's Rotundo and Dave No Show Rombough. |
| JJ |
Judge & Jury |
200/1 |
Mario and Dan are great hitters and outfielders back up when they see Dave Ellis and Craig Bujarsky come up to bat. We all know Pete can hit all fields and has speed but if they don't get the Moose out of retirement for the weekend, they will find it difficult to get into the final. The Orioles are 200/1 right now but they sometimes get their wins. Good Luck JJ |
| DD |
Door Dudes |
500/1 |
If Paul Jamieson and Gary Verdone can make it out to our tourney, things might be different for the DD. Seriously though guys, I want to be like Ron Fuller when I grow up! This man deserves everyone's respect and has it in spades. He can outrun me and can hit as well as anyone - he plays like he is 39. I make a point of talking to him every time I see him and it makes my day! At 500/1 you guys have the same odds as the Houston Astros right now. |
| CM |
Carline Muffler |
1,000/1 |
Poor Carline this season are just finding new ways to lose every game. They have great baseball players on the team and great people. They aren't the team that kicks their bats and gets upset - they are the class of the bottom feeders. These are realistic odds however - there is nothing the two Gregs can do except keep on trying. |
