Week 6 - 2000th view

One of you lucky stars will be my 2000th view, sadly, the only "prize" for you are these predictions.

Last weeks results:

Miscues def. Freedom 5-3 - Not much of a surprise here, Miscues is definitely the team to beat in the conference and barring any set backs should cruise to a first round bye while Freedom will be left to fight it out for a playoff spot with 2 other teams.

Sexy Poolerz defeat Pool Fiction 5-4 - Shocking, especially when it looks like CatNapper carried the load for SP. I think she's a girl, which leads into something pretty cool. Tack her 4-0/5-0 carry vs PFN along with Ebas 4-1 against PFN earlier, and PFN are a hideous 2-9 (they beat a female from PDZ I believe) against females. DS have Chele, SP have CatNappa and BNR have Dina. Yikes! Looks like PFN are in for a long season..

Break and Run defeat Dead Strokes - 5-1 - Straight forward match, Jordy gets back into the win column, while Dead Strokes are going to need to draw up something special for the rematch if they havn't started to spiral out of control by then.

Pool Dragonz defeat Straight Shots - 5-4 - At first glance, yes this is a shock, but at second glance? Straight Shots have pretty much shit the bed so far while Pool Dragonz have been keeping it close against a few top teams. Drew better be buying DJ some beer for that effort.

This week:

Tuesday @ 7pm - Pool Fiction [2-3] @ Dead Strokes [2-3]
Apparently the likes of Ashton and Corey are not the important ones for DS in the match, it's Chele. Kidding, I really hope this girl-thing PFN has is just a freaky coincidental fluke. PFN have surprisingly struggled in the first half of the season, in the past two seasons they had always been a consistent second pushing for first, this season is pretty different, why? Who knows. But in a match that will determine who is last place, Kerry & co. will more then likely put the first half in the back of their mind, and the back half of the season as they look to make a push for the playoffs, where they deserve to be. For Dead Strokes, missing the playoffs by an inch seems to be the common theme, last season they fell a game short, in WSOP this season they're tied for the final playoff spot with one week left, and unless they pick up a win here, they may very well be on the outside looking in for the rest of the season. Corey and Ashton need to be here, and possibly need to put on wigs to have any shot at beating Pool Fiction.

Prediction - 5-3 Pool Fiction.

Wednesday @ 6pm - Sexy Poolerz [3-2] vs Break and Run [4-1]
Sadly, there are no cats to be napped from Break and Run, although they did show off their new recruit in Gusta who is a pretty kitty indeed. Break and Run have been adding quite a few stars from other teams and if they're all able to show, this season might be game over for them. For Sexy Poolerz, while last week was a win, they cannot afford a repeat of last week. Leaving one person to carry the load against a Break and Run squad is well, not something your Mother would tell you to do, even if you wash behind your ears. Bev will need her boys and the CatNapper to be out in full force. If SP are able to jump out to a 3-2 lead then they may be able to hold on and as much as I'd like to play the CatNapper effect here, the Kitty Killa in Gusta should give Break and Run the clear edge.

Prediction - 5-3 Break and Run

Wednesday @ 7pm - Straight Shots [1-4] @ Freedom [2-3]
Straight Shots aren't exactly having a season according to plan. Key losses in having Jon, Pita and the other Mike from last seasons roster consistently show sure are hurting as Ben and Shelle have had to consistently bring in other players. Why? Who knows not my problem. Freedom are however, sometimes. Easily the most inconsistent bunch, predicting them is as easy as catching a greased up pig after a bucket of moonshine, so I'll have to keep this short to get back to my moonshine. A struggling squad against an inconsistent squad, sure this has the story line for Straight Shots to get back into the win column, but I know my gut will be wrong here.

Prediction - 5-3 Freedom

Thursday @ 7pm - Miscues [4-1] vs Pool Dragonz [2-3]
Miscues are predicted where both Peter Laveau and I predicted them to be, atop the leader board. But Pool Dragonz has a chance at being only one game back of first with a win here. Crazy after 6 weeks, but it's possible. Ant has surprisingly taken a back seat to the likes of Nerd and Ben who are leading the way in matches, even if Ant has been winning just about every tournament so far. DJ will have no option but to continue his hot streak if PDZ want a shot at winning. Pommy, Hani and Drew will need to win at least 2 of 3 games as well, and since I haven't called an upset yet, if you've read this far, here's an upset. VCU-over-Kansas-esque.

Prediction - 5-3 Pool Dragonz
