St. Louis

Springfield Tones - The Zou, Columbia Schilbies

1. The Zou - The Zou currently boasts the second best record in the League at 5-3. This puts them tied at first with the Krunk Smurfs and Bolivar 300 in Kansas City. This is all fine and dandy, but The Zou holds the Tones’ first loss of the year. Not just a loss, but a Slobberknocker. The Zou beat the Tones like a government mule (431 - 249.5). The Tones feel that until they avenge that loss to Zou, Zou is at the top of their hit list.

2. Columbia Schilbies - Why would a team like the (2-6) Columbia Schilbies be rivals with a powerhouse like the (6-2) Springfield Tones? Besides being in the same division, the Tones embarrassed the Schilbs in the Inaugural week of our league (338 - 214). Just because the Schilbies suck doesn’t mean they can be rivals with a good team. Take the Cardinals and Royals. Joel...you are being compared to the Royals...


P.C. Phantom Menaces - Springfield K.C.

1. Springfield K.C. - The P.C.P.M currently hold 2nd place in St. Louis with a 4-4 record. Right behind them are the 3-5 K.C. These teams are currently tied at 1-1 when facing each other. Their mirrored season series record combined with a tight 2nd place division race makes these two mediocre teams prime examples of rival teams.


Springfield KC - P.C. Phantom Menaces

1. P.C. Phantom Menaces - um.........basically same as above.......they can’t really offend many other teams being that they are so average......I mean come on, you aren’t winning the division.........I have that under wraps.


Columbia Schilbies - Springfield Tones; Blue Spring Royal/Cubs

1. Springfield Tones - um.....if you were the Schilbies......you would be that jealous of the Tones

2. Blue Spring Royal/Cubs - With the Schilbs and The B.S.R.C.........they’re just mad at the world. And with that, they hate each other. They both proudly display a 2-6 record. But the B.S.R.C’s currently own the losers cup seeing the the Schilbs beat them in their “Toilet Bowl”

Kansas City

The Zou - Krunk Smurfs; Bolivar 300

1. Krunk Smurfs - Not only is there a 3 way tie in Kansas City for 1st place, but the Jason and his Smufs have not allowed Eric and his Zou to topple them yet this season. An already tense situation only escalates when one of your opponents can brag that you haven’t beat them yet. The first meeting between these 2 clubs was a blowout in favor of Krunk. But Zou G.M Mr. Johnson got to work improving his team and only narrowly missed the win the second meeting between these 2 clubs.

2. Bolivar 300 - The Bolivar 300 felt like slaying some Persians after their half point nail biting win over The Zou in their first meeting. The Zou felt like slinging some poo especially since on the Monday of their meeting the point total came to -.5. Talk about tragic.


Krunk Smurfs - P.C. Phantom Menaces; Bolivar 300; The Zou

1. P.C. Phantom Menaces - Papa Smurf has a score to settle with Darth Maul in Episode 1 of these two teams meeting. These Polk County ’s handed the Krunk ones their first lost of the year making even Little John saying WHAT!!

2. Bolivar 300 / The Zou - These two teams are being mentioned together because they hold the same significance to the Krunk Smurfs. Despite not losing to them once (and K.S. looking to cap off the B 300 again this week), The Smurfs have to share the division lead with them. I know two teams that are benefitting from interleague play with a weak division...


Bolivar 300 - Blue Springs Royal/Cubs; Krunk Smurfs; The Zou

1. Blue Springs Royal/Cubs - Who can forget that horrendous steroid scandal at the beginning of the season? Although both Andrew Wessley and Ben Neilson publicly deny any involvement in steroids, a cloud still hovers above these two team to this day.....and perhaps for the history of the league

2. The Zou / Krunk Smurfs - Besides sharing the division lead with both clubs, The Bolivar 300 to this reporters knowledge does not have beef with these two teams.


Blue Springs Royal/Cubs - Bolivar 300; Columbia Schilbies; Krunk Smurfs; Springfield Tones; The Zou; Springfield K.C.; P.C.P.M.

1......The Royal/Cubs hate anyone who defeats them and then again...........hates those he defeats too
