Power's Rankings: Week 8
By; Max Powers

Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
1	1	2	Weymouth Shaddupu 7-0-0		Squeaking by Vegas last week keeps the streak alive, and keeps the Poo at the top of the rankings. Setting up the anticipated Week 8 match up in a possible Championship preview. Week 8 Match Up: Dublin
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
2	2	1	Dublin Snake Chasers 3-1-3		Took care of a struggling All Star Factory in dominant fashion (7-2), Dublin's largest margin of victory on the season. With other teams treading water it's enough to solidify the Irish as the best in the West (for now). Week 8 Match Up: Weymouth
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
3	3	3	San Juan Guerites 3-3-1		Medical staff is hard at work to make sure they don't lose Manny Machado and Dallas Keuchel for any elongated length of time. Week 8 Match Up: Rio de Janeiro
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
4	4	10	Tijuana Hispanics 3-2-2		The Hispanics haven't won since Week 4, but they get to play San Fernando this week, so they have that going for them, which is nice. Week 8 Match Up: San Fernando Valley
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
5	5	7	Rio de Janeiro Cristos 2-2-3		Cano, Donaldson, Matz could all be back in the Rio line ups by the end of this upcoming week. It's like making a midseason trade without giving anything up. Week 8 Match Up: San Juan
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
6	6	5	Las Vegas Doggs 2-3-2		Not sure Las Vegas deserves to be this high, but they held their own against the best team in the land. A poor showing against Quebec City should knock them down a peg or two however. Week 8 Match Up: Quebec City
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
7	7	4	Quebec City Piglets 2-3-2		GM Pat Renaud was heard whispering under his breath on Sunday, "When am I going to learn that streaming doesn't work for me?", as Matt Cain threw ERA and WHIP down the drain for the Piglets on Sunday. Luckily for them, streaming probably won't be an issue this week. Week 8 Match Up: Las Vegas
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
8	9	11	Bridgewater Weasels 3-3-1		Will this team ever lose? Probably, but that's 4 straight weeks without going back to their expected ways. The Weasels stand just 2.5 games back from a playoff spot. Week 8 Match Up: Santo Domingo
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
9	10	7	Rakeville Rockets 3-3-1		Rakeville wanted to win 7-2, but settled for 5-3 against the worst team in the league. When does the so called fire sale begin? Week 8 Match Up: Tokyo
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
10	11	9	Tokyo Omyoujis 3-3-1		Ok, they deserve to move up, but mostly only because of how poorly Santo Domingo has been doing. So, there you go. Week 8 Match Up: Rakeville
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
11	8	6	Santo Domingo All-Star Factory 2-5-0		Remember earlier this season when Santo Domingo was in the thick of it and sitting on top of the Western Division? Remember last season when they fought like hell and made the playoffs. Hell, Remember 2013? Those were the days. Week 8 Match Up: Bridgewater
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
12	12	12	San Fernando Valley Jets 1-6-0		9 games separate Weymouth from the 2nd best team. 10.5 games separate San Fernando from the second worst teams. Only 8 games separate the second best (San Juan) from the second worst (Bridgewater/Rakeville) records. Week 8 Match Up: Tijuana
