Crushinating from the Lirianos, Sam Zell, and the Wolfpack, and last week marks the long-awaited cresting of BattlestarGrantica over the hallowed .500 SLG mark. Overall, though, the league seemed to trade patience for power, which is kind of weird. HEY KILLBOTS; SAVE SOME PITCHING NUMBERS FOR THE REST OF US. Hey, see who had the best ERA? Sure BattlestarGrantica has been wallowing around in the double-digits for a while, but my long sojourn in the shameful wilderness of mediocrity has merely given me an insatiable taste for vengeance. Using some really complicated math and the casting of lots and some obscure Microsoft Excel functions, here is my predicted end of season rankings and points, rounded to the nearest 100,000 points:

BattlestarGrantica 156
Duck Islanders 0
Mapleleaf FBC 0
WalnutCreekWolfpack 0
Bumpin' Utleys 0
Barry...On Trial 0
Honkbal Staars 0
Ballard Killbots 0
B-Town Momma J 0
Halfprice Henchmen 0
Leapin' Lirianos 0
Sam Zell is a Douche 0
Hammarby 0
ConfusedCricketClub 0
A.T.P.L.Strikes Back 0

This stunning display of ruthless power and disregard for competitive spirit is even more amazing considering these humble week-18 rankings:
