Looky Looky Here…..Swami’s Draft Analysis Recap…had the following:

Lumber Jocks = B+

Shake and Bake  =   A-

HIVPTA = C+ (will youth prevail, Swami don’t think so)

OBOBOW = D

Some tidbit spot on reminders from that publication: 

 

LJ’s

Snake draft format was kind to Gilligan’s big buddy as the Skipper backs up Bo with Mr. Ed(ney) and Pajama Top Travis.  Swami has a feeling one of these three are the front runner for the pink hat award this year....:)

Swami sees the lumber Jocks as title contenders but drastically missing the “IT” factor.

Too Many 2nd Bananas = 2nd Place IMO

SB

Swami and others have witnessed a slight decline in Sir Juan’s fitness of late

Swami does see attendance being a concern on weekends for Doctor Tim

Pre-season pairings with other Shake and Bakers revealed a lot of positive results.

Speaking of…it’s always good to have the best playing captain of the three competitors

Swami loves Gordon Geeko and the Shyster at 9 and 10 compared to their opposition. 

Underrated Burdette’s forehand at 11 should provide easy pairings for Captain Doug.

St. Bernard Swami predicts a two-horse race with a slight advantage going to Doug’s Shake and Bake

HIV

May be the worse name for a tennis team Swami has ever heard.

Feast or famine draft approach too risky to Swami’s liking.

Why is Tricky in love with Saba? Swami would like to point out that captains should take advice from past winners and not the losers of the last league.

Will 5.0 Addi be a mainstay and justify his (very) early 5th round selection

Burrito McQuaid could dominate against comparable picks

Swami believes Sundial Groeneveld’s game should fare well as a 12th rounder

Swami sees too many question marks on this team to be realistic title contenders.

Paulie’s Poor Pickings

Captain Paulie, banking on the Baron

You won’t see Tricky and Fair wearing those sleeveless shirts 

we don’t know which Big Honeysuckle will show up

Swami thinks drafting EffU before Shane, Ray and, Jeff will spell doom for Paulie’s title run hopes.

he’ll be at the beach most Saturdays.

how many trips to Ecuador this guy has planned 

Not a good sign in Swami’s eyes having all this age on one team.

Steve, expectations are low so you cannot disappoint.

just too many too Old for Swami to give them serous title consideration.

 

Commissioner’s Corner:

Gents,  Waited to send this out after the break!  So round five starts on Thursday night with 5 doubles and full third sets.  Three horse race with a spoiler ready to ruin someone's chances! 

 

Everyone have a great week and we'll see ya Thursday night.

Bentleague X: The Sequel Draft Recap

  Bentleague X: The Sequel Draft Recap   Not for the faint of heart…back by popular demand…here is the St. Bernard Swami’s recap of the Bentleague X Draft.   First things first, this is an unbiased take on the captain’s picks and how the teams fared out on draft night.   As the ombudsman of Bentleague you can count on an unbiased evaluation of each team from top to bottom.   Congrats to the Commish for finally getting rid of the cockamamie scoring system that favored top picks more than late round selections.   This is an inclusive league for all PAC members, and a win by Rockin Toupsie or Josh (Mr. Irrelevant) should be just as much as a win by Russ “Don’t call me Russell” Anderson.   Wait…did Josh win any Bentleague matches last year?   I digress…on to the team draft grades. Drafting in the number one position was Hairy Hal Neitzschman aka. Spin Doctors II.   No surprise here with Russ going first overall.   Clear #1 by everyon...

Bentleague Blog/Vlog 10/22/2025 - Round 2 Match 2 and 3

  I'll BE BACK! Going with the VLOG to recap match 2 and 3 of Round 2. https://youtu.be/rLpJlQK81UM? feature=shared --- Here are a couple of parting shots as I go to the IR: Sensei Kobrock will live in Bentleague infamy for having a person who was in Germany in the line up. Grant is still winless!  How is this even possible with those fundamentals. Rudy is working hard to fulfill third round expectations...finally gets in the Win column and it only took five matches! Old Knees Harvey should not complain about being at line 6.  Congrats on the W with Millsie. Nick is the only captain this year to not have a previous title under his belt and its showing.   Don't bet on the Ego on Saturday mornings! The youngin's are asserting themselve,s but a few of the old guard still know how to win.  Especially in TSTB's. Round 3 will reveal who had the best draft middle on down.  Time to get some more players involved. Being on the IR during Bentleague is more painf...
