July 14 Power Rankings

Post by Cardinals »

Contributors: Pirates, Cardinals

We decided to bring back our favorite edition of power rankings from last year. I think it was probably everybody else's favorite. I hope. Anyway, without double dipping into the well from last year's female selection, here is the now annual, 2009 edition of the hot women female power rankings by Aaron and I. Enjoy.





Rankings
1. Yankees - Image

Bar Rafeali. The Yankees are 62-29, playing .681 ball. If that's not disturbing enough to the rest of us, they haven't really had A-Rod and Manny in the lineup at the same time for more than a week or so. That's about to change for the remainder of the second half. There's no way this team isn't the favorite to not only win the AL East, AL but their second IBC title. So why Bar Rafeali? The 2009 SI Swimsuit cover model has it all herself: 24 years old and on the cover of the swimsuit issue, and uh, just look at the damn picture. She definitely has it all - much like the 2009 version of the Yankees here in the IBC.

2. BlueJays - Image

Kellie Pickler. Sometimes you just have to scratch your head and wonder how he does it when you look at Pat's team and the numbers it puts up. Russ Branyan has 29 homers at the break. 29! Yunel Escobar has 16 at bats! Pat's lucked out in that some scrap heap signings (Ludwick, Pena) have turned into really solid everyday players. He gets the most out of the talent he has. Kellie Pickler also gets the most out of what she has. She didn't make it to the final show on American Idol. She's been on the country music charts since 2006 and has yet to have a Top 10 single. Nashville has hundreds of just as attractive girls singing in clubs every night wanting a record deal. Kellie gets by on her quirky personality and it certainly helps that she is best friends with Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift, the two biggest female draws in country right now. She's a much less talented, hotter Dolly Parton, as Kellie too has had some work done upstairs.

3. Pirates - Image

Megan Fox. JP ran his mouth all winter about how his team was going to walk all over everyone. Well it has, though its not the team he had over the winter, as, to quote Gomer Pyle, "Surprise, surprise, surprise," there have been a bunch of trades by the Pirates. Pitt leads the Reds by a half game at the break. The team is pitching rich but a lot of the offense is a bit over their heads right now production wise, and it will need to stay that way as the Pirates have a tough second half ahead of them in the dog eat dog NL. Megan Fox is the new Angelina Jolie. She's really hot in the crazy sorta way, where you don't know what she'll do in the sack but you know it's bound to be good. The similarities between the two are eerie and there are rumors that there is even a feud developing between the two, as Fox is now being considered for roles that were once earmarked for Jolie. Megan Fox is setting herself up to be the most sought after female in Hollywood. JP is setting himself up to be the team to beat in the NL. As long as Fox doesn't do anything monumentally stupid, she's good to go. JP needs to not make any rash moves and he should be fine.


4. Royals - Image

Isla Fisher. Once again, Z and the Royals were a popular preseason pick to make the playoffs. Unlike previous years, the Royals haven't folded thus far and have been living up to if not exceeding expectations. Headed into the back nine at 54-34 with a two game lead, things are looking very good for KC. We've been constantly waiting for Z to make the playoffs, picking him every year and waiting for the Royals to break out in the IBC. This year may just be their year. The same can be said for Isla Fisher, who has seemingly been knocking on the door of super stardom in Hollywood, but just hasn't been able to do it yet. Will her time come to do that? Soon enough, we'd have to think. Just like soon enough the Royals should be able to make the playoffs, though it's definitely no guarantee after losing Dempster to the DL and with Detroit poised to add Reyes and Gordon for the second half.

5. Marlins - Image

Maria Sharapova. The Marlins hold the NL's best record (ok, tied in the loss column and half game up in the win column but it still counts) at the All Star Break clocking in at 55-35. That's some pretty good baseball for a team that's been banged up in the first half. It doesn't look like Sheets will be pitching this year, which is a pretty big blow for this team come October - should Florida make it there. Shortly after getting Aramis back from his long DL stint, the Marlins will be losing their all-star nominee catcher in Soto- with the only backup on the roster being JR House. If Soto is out for an extended period of time, this could prove to be more of a problem than losing Aramis. Still, the team is 4 games up on the Nats and Phils and in great shape. Maria Sharapova is a pretty good comparison for Dan's Marlins. She has as much talent as any other women's tennis player and the crazy wacked out grunts to go with it. However, injuries (to her shoulder) have been keeping her down the past year and she's fallen pretty far in the rankings. Will injuries do the same to Florida, or will they be able to overcome them and reach the playoffs for a second straight year?

6. Reds - Image

Angelina Jolie. This is year number six of Nate being the team to beat in the NL. To date he has one division title and no World Series appearances. The Reds are hanging around, getting crazy sims out of a number of guys once again. However, DL violations are killing the Reds, as they have lost Halladay for a month and who knows who else will get injured and wind up playing. JP's ahead of him, the Cards are in the rear and the NL Wildcard is a 5 team race. Angelina Jolie was Megan Fox before Megan Fox was Megan Fox. Hot and a little crazy, she's since moved on to trying to save the world, one third world orphan at a time. She got a guy to leave Jennifer Aniston, that speaks for itself. She's now moved on to being an actress that gets nominated for a bunch of awards. Megan Fox hasn't quite got there yet. Nate's still the team to beat until he is dethroned, but JP's in prime position to do just that.

7. RedSox - Image

Natalie Portman. Bren has done a pretty good if not great job this year to stay in the race thus far given his injuries. I don't believe his starting lineup has been on the field at the same time other than opening week. It's pretty amazing that they are 53-35 and only 1.5 back of the Wild Card lead at the break. As a result, Bren's made it pretty clear that he's shooting for the playoffs this year, trading for Kazmir, Rollins and Bedard. He hasn't been to the playoffs since he captured the 2006 AL Pennant and is clearly looking to make it back this year. Natalie Portman has been out of the spotlight recently. I know I've basically ignored her since she shaved her head. She was back in the gossip world news this year after being linked to Sean Penn, and man, was she looking good again despite that bizarre story. Much like the Red Sox in the IBC, Portman is looking quite good once again. It'll be a fun second half to see whether or not Bren throws out his shoulder patting himself on the back for making the playoffs despite being injury plagued, or if he kicks himself in the ass if he misses them this year.

8. Tigers - Image

Malin Akerman. Might the constant rebuilding effort finally be over in Detroit? Sure seems like it regardless of if they make the playoffs this year- which they have an excellent chance to do. Playing much of the first half without their starting left side of the infield, the Tigers find themselves right in the thick of things, a mere 2 games back of Kansas City and 2.5 back of Toronto for the wild card. For the first time, the Tigers are really ready to make some noise. They may need to make a move or two to get to the playoffs, but that's easier said than done since on paper there's not a ton to improve. The lineup needs to start hitting and Reyes and Gordon need to get healthy. Malin Akerman really wasn't terribly well known in the mainstream before she played Silk Spectre in Watchmen, and did she look good in that or what? Anyway, her career could be very well ready to hit new heights after Watchmen, much like the Tigers IBC career could be hitting new heights in the not so distant future with a division or wild card title. Plus, she's like 5'8. Cool.

9. Nationals - Image

Kaley Cuoco. Ken once upon a time was the sim wizard of Houston, and got so much out of his players that there was speculation that he actually worked for DMB. After leaving Houston for the NL East in 2007, Ken didn't make the playoffs for 2 years and it looked like the magic was gone. Apparently there's some good being done in Washington, because the Nats have won 11 in a row and sit 3 out of the Wild Card and 4 out of the division lead. The brief detour Ken took may have done him some good, and now he's poised to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2006. Kaley Cuoco first gained attention on the sitcom 8 Simple Rules. She was on it until its cancellation and demise following the death of John Ritter. She was on the last seasons of Charmed but has once again came back to the spotlight on the CBS show Big Bang Theory. The future looks bright for Kaley as she is funny, gorgeous and is on a solid hit show. Ken's on a roll, has a solid lineup and a rotation that's over its head currently. He'll need to keep it up to remain alive in an NL where all 4 races could go to the wire and everyone will be jockeying for position.

10. Rockies - Image

Kim Kardashian. The talk over the winter was that Jake was the dark horse to take the NL Central. In the GM shuffle over the winter, Jake followed Horace Greeley's advice and went west. Through a bunch of moves, lately getting Cliff Lee and Josh Hamilton, Jake has moved in front of Nils and leads the division at the break. With Nils crazy injury luck, Jake really needed to open a bigger lead, but his shallow pitching prevented that. Speaking of shallow, why exactly is Kim Kardashian famous again? Because when you live in LA, you don't have to actually accomplish anything, just have rich parents and release a sex tape. Then you get a reality show. So, Kim Kardashian hasn't actually accomplished anything other than sleeping with a bunch of guys and probably giving Reggie Bush a burning sensation when he pees. Jake's not accomplished anything yet, and if he wants to be more than a mild case of herpes to Nils, he better get some pitching and stay atop the West.

11. Cardinals - Image

Mandy Moore. The Cards have captured back to back NL pennants and were a game away from not only being the first two-title holder in IBC history but the first to ever repeat as well. Now that would have been quite a feat. Now, the Cardinals are hanging onto 2009 alright, but after dealing staff ace Cliff Lee, they may take a tumble a bit in the second half. That wouldn't bother Aaron so much I don't think, despite his competitive nature. Mandy Moore is ok taking a backseat every now and then and has been on the top before. Come on, we all (ok people my age at least) remember Candy don't we? She was better than Britney or Christina and much classier too. She's dabbled in various other celebrity adventures and now has another album out but in a different vein. The Cards are still definitely in the race, but might have to brush up some old tricks and trade some of the newly acquired prospects away in order to make a second half charge up against Pittsburgh, Cinci, the Nats and Phils.


12. Phillies - Image

Catherine Bell. Nick sits 4 out of the East and 3 out of the Wild Card at the break. Once again the Phils are hanging around and making it tough for everyone. All Nick's ever done is win games. He's usually overlooked but one thing is for sure, the Phils will be in the thick of things down to the wire and Nick will do what it takes to try and get back to the playoffs for the first time since his 2002 title. Catherine Bell has been around for about 15 years now and is someone that is often overlooked. She starred in JAG n CBS from 1996-2005, but nobody ever realized how hot she was until she was Susan Ortega in Bruce Almighty. She's frequently in Maxim and is the star of Army Wives on Lifetime, so she has staying power. She's 40 now, but doesn't look to be losing her fastball. Look for Nick to keep his fastball as well, and possibly throw it by Dan and Ken to play into October.

13. Athletics - Image

Daisy De La Hoya. And our first AL West team clocks in at #13. The A's will most definitely make the playoffs this year barring a ridiculous collapse and a ridiculous charge by either Texas or Seattle, both of which are highly unlikely. The A's are 48-40 and enjoy the largest lead in the IBC, a nice 9 games over Texas. Oakland has done this with Burke Badenhop and Justin Speier in the rotation, Omar Vizquel, David Ross and Reggie Abercrombie in the lineup. Anybody else sick yet? Still, the A's have done what they've had to do and will be making a third straight trip to the playoffs which is more than most of us can say. Daisy De La Hoya, well, some people out there find her to be hot. I mean, she does have her own reality show, Daisy of Love on VH1. And if you're desperate for entertainment and want to smash your head against a desk, it's not a bad show to do the trick. And by it's not a bad show, I mean you can tolerate it maybe in 10 second doses. Regardless, she's famous, some people think she's hot and she has her own TV show. The A's will be in the playoffs again, he likes his team and his farm and might have the new sim-voodoo Mojo Ken once had. Still, this team will definitely be the bastard child of all eight playoff teams.

14. DBacks - Image

Kate Beckinsale. The defending NL West champs have had an up and down year and currently find themselves behind SF and COL. Only two games over .500, but despite that, they are only 5 games behind Levine and his Rockies. Unlike the Rockies, there is a lot of depth to this team, not just bells and whistles guns blazing offense that Colorado boasts. With a little bullpen help, AZ could find themsleves overtaking Colorado before long. The bottom half of the lineup could stand to be improved this year as well, but, all teams are flawed and the NL West is a good division to be in this year from that standpoint. Escobar and DeWitt provide some great defense on the left side of the infield which will help the pitching staff out a good bit. Like the D'Backs, Beckinsale is attractive. Is she a knockout 10? Nope. Is she one of those girls that seems like there's a bit more class and depth to her than others? Yep. And that's what you get with Arizona- a bit more depth (especially in the farm) than other teams. Jag just recently told me that it's "2009 until he says so," so this should be a fun three team battle till the end.

15. Giants - Image

Jennifer Love Hewitt. Nils was once atop the IBC World. He went to the playoffs for the first 5 years of the IBC and was in the World Series for 3 of them. Since losing in the 2006 NLDS, Nils has fell off considerably. The young lions have rose in the NL West, with Shawn and Jag taking division titles and Jake poised to make a run at the crown this year. This year, Nils is back assuming he can overcome the injuries to his pitching staff, which is a storm he has weathered so far. Jennifer Love Hewitt burst onto the scene in 1995 as a star on Party of 5 on Fox. While on that show she also was in the I Know What You Did Last Summer movies. She tried a singing career that didn't do much but has since been back, staring on The Ghost Whisperer on CBS, surely you saw the million promos during AFC games. She also is ranked in the Top 10 on Maxim's Hot 100 list. There is a future for her, and it finally looks as if there is one for Nils as well.

16. Twins - Image

Paul Rudd. Paul Rudd is funny. I love You Man is one of my favorite movies this year. Great movie, if you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and see it. Now that we have that out of the way, it looks like Andrew's run of AL Central Crowns will come to an end this year barring some injuries to Detroit and Kansas City and probably a move or two by the Twins. Still, the Twins are set up nicely for the future tense. Weaver is having a great year, Kemp is a bad ass and Inge has been very good this year despite 0'fering at the Derby last night. Bumgarner we all know about. Heath Bell has been excellent. The building blocks are definitely there for a return to glory within time for the Twins, but it'll be a tough task from here on out with the Royals and Tigers looking to be around and competing for years to come in the AL Central.

17. WhiteSox - Image

Jessica Biel. Well, the Pale Hose has made a run for 2009 and it looks like it will have come up a bit short. 46-44 at the break isn't bad, it's, well, average as the winning percentage might indicate. In the AL or maybe even NL West, this team would still be in the race. The team has some nice building blocks in Cruz, Zimmerman, Votto and Danks. Jenks is pretty good. Still, on a whole, there's nothing spectacular about this particular team. Beckham and Smoak could help change that in due time if Jim has the patience to hang onto them. Jessica Biel is probably the most average "hot" celebrity there is out there. She has her moments where she can look pretty good, but on the whole, I'm not terribly impressed with Biel, and on a whole, this White Sox team does have a lot of work to do to compete in 2010 but some patience could go a long way to making this team a pretty good one in 2011.

18. Mets - Image

Katy Perry. John and the Mets like to play for every year. There's never any rebuilding with him, and he'll let that be known at all times. The Mets flirted with selling out this year early in the year thanks to ZiPS, but didn't and hung around for most of the first half. Now they sit just two games over .500, 9 games out of first and injury riddled. Rough season in Queens. John can be quite vocal at times, which is perfectly fine and welcomed. Katy Perry is definitely the queen of vocal and gimmicks right now. She had a few huge hits with I Kissed a Girl and Hot N Cold, but overall doesn't really do too much. Has anybody really taken Katy Perry seriously for more than 5 minutes? Nope. The Mets were right in it and were threatening for the first couple of months, but just won't have the staying power in 2009.

19. Astros - Image

Erin Andrews. Shawn came in the league last year and was thrown into the fire of the NL Central. He took his lumps last year but slowly got better. This year he's been on a run as of late and has pretty much sealed a 4th place finish in the Central. Some of the building blocks are there and the Stros will keep getting better as time goes by, and it won't be long until they're a legitimate threat for the division title. Melissa Stark apparently passed the "Hot Sideline Reporter That's Hotter Because She Knows Sports" torch to Erin a couple years ago. She joined ESPN in 2004 to cover hockey after a stint with Turner Sports (John can your wife hook one of us up?). She has gotten more and more work as time has gone by and more men have fell in love with her. About her only drawback is the fact she went to Florida and loves Tim Tebow. EA's role with ESPN is growing, as is Shawn's chances at winning games in the NL Central. Soon people may be as in love with the Astros as they are with Erin.


20. Dodgers - Image

Rashida Jones. Shawn made the decision to rebuild and its looking like a good one. The Dodgers have fell off a bit since their division title in 2007 and have dealt off most of their sim studs like Juan Cruz. They are currently in last place in the West but could easily finish the year .500. The future looks very bright for LA and with Shawn's track record, it won't be long until the Dodgers are back in the thick of things. Rashida Jones also has a bright future. The daughter of Quincy Jones, Jones has been acting since 1997 but didn't gain attention until she played Karen on The Office for 2 years. They did a good job of uglying her up because it wasn't until I Love You, Man that everyone realized how hot she really is. Jones currently stars on Parks and Recreation, a series similar to The Office but that needs to not seem like a 30 minute SNL sketch if it wants to make it past this season. Regardless of its success however, one can bank on the fact that Rashida Jones has a bright future in LA, much like the Dodgers.

21. Padres - Image

Lady GaGa. On the surface, this team looks like it should be very very good. Cole Hamels, DiceK, Valverde, O. Hudson, McCann, Bay, Beltran, S. Drew, Huff and Delmon Young. That's a really nice group of players. And to see the Padres in last place in the NL West at the break is very, very perplexing. Injuries have played a role, but injuries have ravaged the Giants and they are only two back. Sitting 10 games out, it's not impossible for San Diego to get healthy and make a run, just extremely unlikely. Most of us know who Lady Gaga is, maybe more by ear than by sight. If you've seen one of her videos or seen a picture of her, at first, you're like well hey hold on here... and then you see her face and/or she removes her mask or ridiculous outfit and you're like, "holy f'ing shit, that thing has to have captain winky tucked away." On the surface, the Pads are all that, but when you look at the standings and stats, it's just not there for whatever reason.

22. Rangers - Image

Diane Kruger. Seth has quietly built himself a solid ballclub down in Texas. He was a dark horse for the division but it appears that won't happen this year unless he makes some deals. If any team can blow a 9 game lead, the A's are the most likely. There are some solid building blocks in place in Arlington, and Seth can use that foundation to build a winner. Diane Kruger also has the foundation to be a major star in Hollywood. She's super hot and she's proven she can do drama and comedy. She's been in Troy and the National Treasure movies but hasn't been in any other really successful films. Inglorious Basterds could change that and there is another National Treasure in the works, so she will be working. Springboarding from that to other work is what is important right now. Springboarding from okay team to good team is what is important for Seth. Both could do it and soon.

23. Orioles - Image

Eva Longoria. The Orioles were the IBC's cinderlla last year, winning 100 games and somehow managing to miss the playoffs. That's a tough pill to swallow, yet there's really not much shame in winning 100 games. That said, here we are in 2009 and the O's will not be lighting up Charm City like they did last year. At 36-52, this team has been playing for the future since basically day one. You're not going to be able to bust out smoke and mirrors every year- especially in the AL East- so I think we all saw this one coming. Still, there is hope in Baltimore with Liriano looking better, Jennings breaking out big time along with Bartlett. It'll take some more magic and a bunch of moves to compete next year, but Gudim has proven he can do that already. Eva Longoria got really famous seemingly really quickly and everybody was eating their heart out. Now what has she done lately besides marry Tony Parker and that horrendous beer commercial? Not much. But if she wanted to be cast into a big role, there's no doubt she could be. Her time will likely come again, and the O's time will come again.

24. Indians - Image

Danica Patrick. When Kelly came in last year, he loaded his roster with late 30s DHs and thought his team was hot stuff. The reality of the IBC punched him in the face as his aged roster could not compete with Andrew and he was left with a bad, aging team. Now he has a bad, young team. There's not a lot of talent in Cleveland and it'll be a while before the Tribe can play with the big boys. If Danica Patrick was ugly, she'd be working at the Sears Tire and Auto Center. However, she's attractive and so she gets talked about more than anyone in the IRL despite the fact she's won one race, in Japan, that is insignificant. Despite all this "success," there has been talk of her coming to NASCAR, where she would be chewed up and spit out by the fans, but pushed to the moon by NASCAR as their next big star. Danica Patrick is a bad driver that is getting by on looks because otherwise she's just a whiney bitch. The Indians are a bad team in a division that's getting stronger by the day. It'll be a long road to .500 and the club's gonna need quite a few pit stops first.

25. Mariners - Image

Faith Hill. 2006 seems like a long, long time ago to the folks of Seattle. The M's controlled the AL West since moving there in 2003. Since the ascent of Jake's bands of misfits to the top of the West, the M's have faded back into the pack. This'll be the first year the M's could finish 3rd and are currently only 6 ahead of Dave. There's still talent on the team, but Ropers is at a crossroads. This division is always winnable, so the question is whether to retool or just reload for next year and dethrone the A's. Faith Hill burst onto the country scene in the mid 90s with a string of hits. A romance and subsequent marriage to Tim McGraw further entrenched her as a top act in country music. Her career has had a downturn since the 2000s. She hasn't won a major country music award since 2000. She hasn't had a hit since 2006. There've been accusations that Faith was going Hollywood, and more concerned about becoming an actress and a pop success. If she doesn't put out a successful album next time she releases one, her time as a relevant act may be done and she'll be retired to the Opry/Branson circuit, or stuck doing duets with her husband when she wants on the charts. The M's better try to remain relevant too, because they may be retired on the junior circuit too.

26. Cubs - Image

Molly Sims. Gabe came into the IBC in the beginning, and struggled in the extremely tough NL Central. He left in 2005 for greener pastures in the NL East, or as we in the NL Central like to say, he ran off because he knew he wouldn't make the playoffs in the division. Gabe won the East in 05 and 06, and improbably won the World Series in 06. With has ring on his finger, Gabe came back to the Central and he beloved Cubs, where he has managed to look like the Cubs of the early 1990s. Molly Sims left Vanderbilt after her sophomore year to pursue a modeling career, in which she was very successful and was in the SI Swimsuit Issue multiple times. She's tried her hand at acting, starring on Las Vegas and in the Jizz In My Pants video. She's had bit parts in other movies, but her film career hasn't took off and she's 36, so in Hollywood terms she don't have long left. Gabe's team is at a crossroads as there are useful parts but not enough depth be contend and we know his stance on rebuilding, so look for the Cubs to continue to be a bit player in the NL Central until he makes some casting changes.

27. Angels - Image

Carrie Prejean. Well, another year, another losing season for Dave and his Halos. All is not lost though, there are certainly some excellent building blocks in place with McCutchen and Lind on offense, Hughes and dare I say Homer Bailey pitching? Bailey has been looking good recently and ran the show in AAA. This year has to be a plus for Bailey thus far, but he needs a solid second half in the bigs to really make everybody believe. Carrasco needs to get his stuff together, and started to in June which was his best month of the year. The Angels should be picking pretty high this year as well, so a strong draft class could really infuse this team with a lot of talent. Plus, they are in the right division to be able to get good quickly in. Carrie Prejean as we all know was the controversial Miss California who ended up having her title stripped for some odd reason that had nothing to do with her comments. Regardless, she was a beauty queen and then had her title stripped away, but still will likely be heard from again. The Angels have a good core few players, but will need to do some work, much like Prejean, to get back into the spotlight.

28. Brewers - Image

Selena Gomez. Those of you that are thinking, how come I haven't seen this girl before, that's because she's on the Disney Channel and she's 16. Yep, that's right; I hope you feel like a dirty old man. I'm looking at you Z. Ben's team is extremely young, with only Harang and Rodney being over the age of 30. It will take Ben a long time to become a viable threat in the NL Central, with his ceiling maybe being 5th place next year. Just keep piling up losses, draft picks and prospects, it can work. Make Detroit your model, it'll take a while but can be done.

29. Rays - Image

Amanda Bynes. Last year on this edition of power rankings, Pat and his Rays were the underage Miley Cyrus. Well, his players have started to mature and now he's still getting a relatively young girl in Amanda Bynes (23 years old.) The Rays might well end up with the worst record in the IBC this year, but still, this team is progressing and probably quicker than we all think. Rasmus is a total bad ass and the Kung Fu Panda Sandoval is having an excellent year in San Fran at the MLB level. Plenty of good young arms too in Cahill, Price and Miller just to name a quick trio. They will no doubt have another strong draft class and it's starting to seem like sooner rather than way later that the Rays will be competing. Bynes, again you'd have to be in your early to mid 20's to really recognize her, used to be a pretty big Nickelodean star who was always cute. Well, now she's pretty hot I'd say. I'd expect the same type of progression for the Rays in time since there is definitely no shortage of talent 1-50 here.

30. Braves - Image

Paris Hilton. Talk about a quick fall from the top. Brandon spent the past 2 seasons in the thick of things in the NL. He won 107 games in 2007 and went to the NLCS. Last year he tied for the Wild Card and lost a one game playoff in the 9th. This year, he has the worst record in the league. I don't know that there's ever been something similar in the IBC aside from Bren tanking the 04 season after his title in 03. Used to be you couldn't have the TV on without hearing something about Paris Hilton. Being rich and a skank was apparently interesting to many people for a while. Well thankfully it ain't no more and she's disappeared. Hopefully she's gone for good unless another inevitable sex tape comes out. Time will tell if the Braves are gone for good from the top of the NL, or if this is a temporary setback. At least Brandon's got some redeeming qualities.

Nice. In my eyes you just ranked me #1 if you're comparing my team to Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Is that even a pic of Faith Hill? If it is, I'm not sure you guys couldn't have found a worse picture of her. You guys truly didn't do her any favors with that pic.

You are kidding, right? I'd say just about every pic on that first google page is better than what is listed above. No biggie.....I don't expect you guys to spend any time on my team given my record right now, but heck, you could at least put a decent pic up to look at.

Daisy De La Hoya is an even more appropriate pick than you can imagine since I actually know Fox from that show (if you missed him check him out on I Love Money when it comes out, he was definitely the most entertaining person on the show and it was not intentional).

Seriously? Maybe you guys were working too hard.

It just took JP 30 seconds to go to google images and get pages of pics of her. The pic you guys selected was on like the 4th page of google image pics for her? Maybe we just have different tastes but, Holy Shit!....you guys passed up a lot of good pics of her before selecting that dooser.

Anyways, good job the Power Rankings were entertaining.

Love the Natalie Portman choice (she's in my trinity of hot chicks, which is a VERY old IBC discussion, probably from the original board), but 7th? I feel like Rodney Dangerfield over here...

Why the fuck do you know Fox? Does he do your hair?

Actually he has. He works in the barbershop I go to, though my regular barber is the traditional old school type. Actually they have a promotional video[/url] that features Fox's online video debut, and is also full of unintentional comedy.

I actually have no idea who Selena Gomez is - but if she is attractive with low self-esteem, then I've probably hooked up with her.

"Danica Patrick is a bad driver that is getting by on looks because otherwise she's just a whiney bitch."

Ya guys got me confused. But also nailed it. IBC meets real life:

Danica Patrick = Bad Driver. OK.

Bad Driver = Bad Owner. OK.

Bad Owner = Indians. OK.

Indians = Getting by on looks. OK.

Getting by on looks = Whiney Bitch. OK.

Whiney Bitch = My Fiance. OK.

I just had a ton of fun with that. OK.
