High 5 / Low 5

High 5

1. Pool Outlaws (9-1) (+9)
After losing in the first week, the Pool Outlaws have been reeling off nine straight wins and are officially the best league in MLP (stat-wise). Sean, my trusted cubby, has said that "No team is hotter in ML than the Outlaws." I couldn't agree more.

2. Pool Hustlers (7-3) (+6)
In this case, the numbers do lie. After struggling for wins in the beginning of the season, Ren has revitalized the epitimiy of an interleague. With his regulars playing for PH, they appear to be unstoppable including the only defeat Absolute Finest has had this season. If they continue to win, the division title could be within grasp.

3.Absolute Finest (9-1) (+3)
Some of you may be asking, why is Absolute Finest below PH when they are technically second in MLP? Lets take a look at AF's schedule that has brought them top of the Mountain glory. BA, BBM, BE, BNR, BS, CHP, LKP, PLP, TP. Their only loss was to PH. AF Managed to win 5 of those games with a 4-3 margin. How many of those teams are truly threats to most leagues? However, consistency is important as well as clutch. AF does seem to have that leaning for them.

4. QueBallz (8-2) (+7)
With their only losses to PO and MZ, Quez is showing solidarity in their lineup. A consistent and deep bench has caused them to be a threat to any team they face. Their biggest challenge will be coming up next week for Pool Fiction. This is a test of clutch performances. If Quez can pull of a win on the slipping PFN, they may find themselves atop the Central Division before the season is over.

5. Pool Fighters (8-2) (+5) And Regul8ors (8-2) (+5)
This one is really too close to call. Notice the similar standings and streaks. Coincidentally, both of them are in the Pacific Division, fighting for that top spot. Sure, PF beat PH 4-3, the same PH that beat Regs 5-2. But, Regs beat HS 4-3, the same HS that beat PF 4-3. The Regs did beat PF in the reg season, but PF has more wins in the W/L column. It all adds up to a stalemate. Week 12 will be the week to watch. AF vs PF and Regs Vs BS. Either team can win or lose in both matches. That week should determine who deserves #1.

Low 5 (Provided By Wet Cubby)

28. Elite Pool (3-7) (-3)
Not ChampionsPool, because they've had a tough stretch. But attitude-wise, the fact that their home matches are a zoo, their captain has a big mouth, and it spews ignorance week after week, no contest.

29. BritPool (2-8) (-3)
Authors of the book Blowing Leads For Dummies. Every time they have a big lead except twice, they've completely blown it. Lucky to be above WildAngels in this, you could argue they should be switched.

30. Wild Angels (2-8) (-7)
Also on a very bad streak. One of the biggest disappointments in MLP.

31. Pool Pimps (2-7) (-6)
An absolute joke how they never seem to have a team, no mention at all of interleagues on their page last I checked, it's sad really.

32. Breakers Alley (1-9) (-8)
Obviously, worst team in MLP overall, the Atlanta Hawks pretty much.

Atlantic - Well, who would've gone out and called XPool winning over MadSkillz in public? That's what happened. Yvettechen in her return to MLP didn't help the effort any, but leizerr did. According to the order of reports he won game 7 for the W. It was all over in about an hour too. King_hustler didn't show because he was working, while MZ simply wasn't, as they fall to 6-4. Knowing that MZ lost Pool Outlaws just did what they do and they did it well. A 7-0 brooming of CueKeepers was in order tonight, increasing the lead in the Atlantic Division to 3 wins, practically giving them the Division barring some catastrophic breakdown. Outlaws with a win next week would clinch a Playoff spot. By the way...They face ElitePool. It's also PO's 9th straight, their only loss being a tight one to MadSkillz. The battle for 2nd could beat up though, if UnitedPool wins they would tie MZ for 2nd in the Division, and both teams have tough matches next week. UnitedPool at 8BR, MadSkillz at LPL, both on Monday night. I shouldn't mention it but BritPool got saaa-haaa-moked. 7-0 loss to Quez, practically killing any Playoff possibility for them.

Central - CueKeepers with that expected loss are now 5-5. So is XPool with their victory over MadSkillz, as they break away from HappyPool and SuperbPool. It stops a 3-match losing skid for XP. If HappyPool wins they complete a 3-way tie for 4th place at 5-5, if not CueKeepers and XPool share a 2-way tie at 5-5. No head to head between them...Oh bummer...Oh wait! They play next week! I love MLP in the late stages! Oh but the best story for last of course, Quez and PoolFiction will meet next week most likely to decide the Central Division. Whew...Lucky #7 for Kevin, who is of course no stranger to long winning streaks as a Captain. Now, see blue? THERE'S a top-of-the-Division battle worth attention ;) lol.

Mountain - Interesting night in the NL. Hustlers buried the BeerBallers 6-1, Ivey the only win for BBM in this match. Brandon moves up to 7-1, Don had a run-out in game 1, this Hustlers team is just simply clicking on all levels right now, their 6th straight win, and should the situation arise they do hold Head to Head over Absolute Finest, sitting pretty up there at 9-1. LuckyPool drops to 4-5, under .500 for the first time this season. They have a chance to change that with their match Thursday night against Bearskins, to make up for the win they lost from EZ8. Their match tonight just their 3rd home match of the season, Thursday will be the 4th. They lost tonight's match 3-4 to TourneyPool, but TP lead it all the way with a 4-0 start. They're a full match behind HotShotz, can move to within a half-match of them if they should win against the Bearskins, but man LuckyPool just can't hold a season together. Losing their captain to MadSkillz, the first game of this match featured LuckyPooler seether_ getting DQed, just nothing works middle or late-season for LuckyPool. I guess you could call 'em chokers I don't know how to be nice about it.

Pacific - And...Speaking of TourneyPool. They are shot makers. Made a few big shots during those first 4 games, Goochonfire blowing position on the 8 and then going draino on the short-rail cuebank along the top, knocking the 8 down top right. TP now 6-4, still a couple games away from frontrunners Regs and PF, but this is a situation where you may wanna just play to stay in the Playoffs. They got some help there. BeerBallers fall to 4-6, in a 4th place tie with Pool Legends, something that Break and Run could very well get in on with a win over Pool Pimps Thursday, ChampionsPool could actually go ahead of them all should they beat PM, having that game in hand with Bearskins coming up. But the biggest reason I love the Pacific Division...EVERY TEAM HAS A CHANCE! And I mean legitimate chances, not extreme long shots, Bearskins could propel themselves up in the Standings, Break and Run could get into a tie for 4th, the Pacific Division is the absolute most entertaining Division in MLP, and you can be rest assured most of my matches to watch in the NL will involve a Pacific Division team. Man, I know it sounds corny and no-life-ish, but this Division really does have me more excited than seeing Duke and UNC meet up. Gives ya a lot more to watch each week. Of course, the NL has always been known for the close Playoff races at the bottom, so now all we can do is sit back and enjoy the show.

Ties all over the place in the Pacific, PoolFiction-Quez in the Central, possible 3-way dance at the bottom there, can MLP get any better? Heh...Actually it can.

When did this become more than a game?
Where did "godly" and "pwnage" come from?
Since when are most people who lose a game related to Phil Hellmuth?
What's the point in using any kind of programs? Booters, Aimers, etc.?
Where's the trust?
What would you all do without Yahoo Pool?
When did losing become a contest of "how stupid can i make myself look by being a hypocrite?"
Why does it matter if a 1300 runs you or makes a bank?
Where did all the drama come from?
Since when are people so good they can only lose to aimers?
Lastly... If the troublemakers on here suddenly stopped coming on, whether they got shot, had their net shut off, computer fried, kidnapped, quit whatever... Who would actually give a care? Sadly, I only know the answer to about half these questions. Maybe you guys can fill in the others.
