With Aleks in Raleigh, we finally got him awake to record. Week 10 was a refreshing change for some teams. Others not. The hottest team lost to the newly hottest team, Ferni Willow finally broke a slump and we had some other matchups apparently. We look into week 11 and realize Chip is still in 1st place in our pick'em. Despite it "not being a competition", Aleks is still groaning about it. And we wrap with some nonsense about Aleks' love of Mormonism.

Its about time to call it a wrap for Vishnu and the Spearmint Rhino. But first we get into week 9, somehow Aleks' went 6-0 in picks, like when Billy Madison debated that one time. Ken and Mike's continue their HOT runs as the top teams in the league. We spend a few minutes reviewing the Spearmint Rhino and potential next steps on that roster. We appreciate the commish's decision here. We close discussing week 10 and the matchups ahead. Please pray for Ferni Willow for some good performance. PRAY, DANGIT!?!? Please? :-)

After a short and frankly disappointing TimBits from Aleks, we wrap up week 8 and look ahead to week 9. Look, some weeks are filled with joyous bits of content, and sometimes its less so. We had fun discussing the mediocrity of Ferni Willow & the seeming new top tier of Phoenix Rises & The Mexikens. At least we mentioned our unofficial sponsor at the end!

What else do I want the audience to know? Well, let me clear my throat. Ahem.

• TID-BUNTS (RE: Red Sox 1B conundrum, Sasaki & other news)
• Week 7 matchup results and pick 'ems leaders
• Week 8 matchups & picks
• The Book of Mormon & its incredible story

Welcome back to this edition of Power Rankings where we briefly discuss why your team is overrated (I'm talking to you, Josh and Jay). Ok ok...we start by reviewing week 6 results where Chip CRUSHED the predictions by going 6-0. Also, how is Aleks this bad at choosing teams? Just incredible. We touch on week 7 matchups before jumping into the Power Rankings. And yes, Chip was recording from the future. Maybe thats why he's so good at predicting matchups.

We recap week 5, aka Rivalry week for Chip/Suneel, whilst exploring the erratic, squirrelly Quality Start stat (is it better than Wins?). We look ahead to Week 6 already in progress and share our picks. We close with Aleks rant of the week, sorry, I mean new segment Samurai Hour about NBA and how the game has changed. And no, Bret Boone, the new hitting coach for Rangers is not related to Benson Boone. Sigh.

Its been 4 weeks? And Jay and Josh are somehow 4-0. What on earth. Anyway, we wrap up week 4 matchups, look at the top hitters and pitchers, and then look ahead to week 5 matchups. The usual schtick, right? Sigh, and Josh's offense is terrible!

Brutes Squad won a week. Sorry Z, tough loss. Week 3 was a challenging week and lots of drama. We discussed the close matchups, surprises and even how Aleks hates our injury slots (only 3?!?!). Well, at least there are 2 undefeated teams left as we look ahead to week 4.

Week 2 came and went fairly quickly and boy have things changed. Brutes are terrible, Evermore is good? Down is Up, I guess? We discuss Week 2 and somehow forgot that we are terrible at picking teams each week, and Aleks may be the worst at it. We look ahead to Week 3 matchups and end discussing Aleks' new chicken feeder that hopefully will avoid feeding the rats in his backyard. Typical stuff.

Week 1 is finally in the books and we recap the blown leads that left us in disarray. We look ahead to Week 2 and prognosticate our first regular week of 2025. Aleks tackles the lore of the Brutes Squad bee journey and we close with some trivia on Pitching Stuff+ & Batting Exit Velocity leaders of 2025.
