Remember at the beginning of the baseball season, when we were all experts and predicted how the Del Rio League would shake down. The two most prevalent questions were "who would win" and "who's going to make the playoffs?"

The great thing is this week, that all gets settled.

You want to talk about a blockbuster Wednesday, we've got three interesting games.

El Rancho (18-4, 11-2) at La Serna (18-6, 12-1), 3:15 p.m. (Battle for the DRL Crown)
Whittier (11-11, 7-6) at California (14-11, 7-6), 3:15 p.m. (Battle for the postseason)
Pioneer (4-18, 1-12) at Santa Fe (8-14, 1-12), 3:15 p.m. (Battle for respect)

Here's the Breakdown -

First Game


The Lancers can clinch the DRL title outright with a win. They are one game up on the Dons and lead the series 1-0. Interestingly enough, from a postseason perspective, the DRL title carries extra incentive for the Lancers - respect. El Rancho has been ranked all year and that ranking will likely amount to a Dons first-round home game, even as the DRL second seed. That might not be the case for La Serna.


As for the Dons, it's simple. El Rancho needs to sweep to clinch the title. The Dons have already secured a top-2 finish in league. A win Wednesday would shift the title game to El Rancho on Friday.

Prediction: A split. El Rancho will win Wednesday and La Serna Friday. If the Dons throw Chris Villalobos on Wednesday, they should force a deciding game back at El Rancho. However, I don't expect coach Anthony Gonzales' group to get swept. The Lancers have a little more depth on the mound which will be crucial.

Second Game

You've gotta love this matchup of one-time contender Cal-Hi and one-time pretender Whittier.


The Cardinals are intriguing because they've posted good league wins this season over both El Rancho and La Serna. However, they also lost to Santa Fe earlier this year. Whittier is on a five-game winning streak and is starting to look like the team that knocked off Sherman Oaks Notre Dame in the St. Paul tournament - that's right, the L.A. Times No. 1-ranked Notre Dame (20-2).


As for the Condors, while they are 0-6 versus the big boys in league (El Rancho and La Serna), they're also 7-0 against the rest, including a 9-6 win at Whittier on April 4. While Cal-Hi has lost four in a row, the last six games of the season have been against the league's top teams.


Prediction: A Condors sweep. As much as Whittier has impressed this season, I just think Cal-Hi is the better team. Maybe Whittier will surprise me. The problem with the Cards is that they need a sweep.

Third Game


This might be the tightest of the three DRL season-finale series. It's been a tough season for Santa Fe, which has come so close this year. The Chiefs have been involved in six league losses this year by two or fewer runs. Santa Fe is a lot better than its record indicates as evidence by its solid showings in the Montebello and Don Lugo tournaments.


As for Pioneer, its lone win in league came against Santa Fe, 9-8, on April 4. Injuries and a lack of depth have really slowed down the Titans as much as anyone in league. Yet, the guys are still playing hard for coach Paul Magallanes and would love to finish the year with a win.


Prediction: Going with a Chiefs sweep. Santa Fe has been too close too often to let the last two games slip by. I love Pioneer's heart and I expect a good showing from the Titans nonetheless.


So, who do you like?

Extremely nice internet site!

It looks like you don't d isplay posts that critic ise your Designed by Committee??? logo. Why then bother inviting us to search and comment?

Metropolis of Melbourne is number a person. The depth of their redesign was astounding, and its applications throughout all media is equally fresh new and functional. I'm unsure if AOL meets precisely the same degree of usefulness. Sure, it is a step above the previous layout, but just how much additional so? And to what stop? Properly, which is my two cents. Peace.

how previous is your weblog? th is is the initially time I uncovered it.

Uggs On Sale said:

I have to say that I agree using the sentiments about having AOL as selection one. The comments posted along side it sum it up properly, that it does nothing to strengthen the brand, but only adds confusion.Out of the most beneficial rebrands while in the l ist, I'd place SyFy on the top rated. In the beginning I hated the identify, due to the fact I thought they did it ??just mainly because,??? when the truth is that they had to change their name as a consequence of getting unable to legally use Sci-fi.??? Now relatively than coming up having a whole new identify that no one would know- and potentially lose lots from the already inbuilt SciFi??? brand- they caught together with the aged identify that has a little bit of phrase play. I can nevertheless call SyFy Sci-fi when it comes up, and that tends to make me satisfied.

Great examples and ideas

Dairtel? And that nasty, squashed variety is kerned to tightly! That may be all I received.

My brother and I had been just debating th is precise topic, he is generally making an attempt to display me incorrect. Your view on th is is wonderful and specifically how I really feel. I just sent him th is website to demonstrate him your view. After looking over your blog I book marked and will be again to learn your updates!

Just wanted to say th is blog site is in my ideal weblog l ist on #46.

GHDS Online said:

I realize th is is nota popular opinion, but I completely like it. Why not try anything diverse? Why not make an effort to use th is object and animation to symbolize the interconnectedness on the neighborhood? Th is Burnley object as logo is different from your boring shit and aesthetic nightmares we??? ve been seeing currently. In my opinion, th is can be a win.

Why do notyou guys just come out and say we really like basic logos!???

UK GHD said:

Upon even more examine, why was notALN on th is l ist? That was a terrible redesign. I do notknow what you??? d kick out of the bottom 10 to place that in there, but nevertheless!

My fonts logo catches my attention just about every time I see it. That 1 is excellent. Really fantastic submit!

I've a new a single for the worst:

Yale is aged logo flat out sucked. My cat could have completed that.

Was nota huge fan of Banco or Fonts but I can see why they get the nod. The rest of the l ist is best. Wonderful yr, good l ist.

AOL at #1? Seriously?

City of Melbourne 67% (one,020 of 1,520) Thought th is was Way Cool .. yep, Thanks alot for th is superb guide.

Properly, not to repeat the hating on aol, but th is is probably one of the most d isappointing l ist up to now. On equally sides. How can El Banco Deuno and aol be to the very best l ist, and then bash art directors club? I really did nothave a problem with that redesign, along with the collateral was looking very good. You recognize what will need to have been to the l ist for worst logos? New York Philharmonic logo. My hatred of that logo burns in my chest to th is day. The identify from the designer behind that logo would be the only purpose for any of its achievement. The top l ist the 12 months is rather mediocre for me.I like Mary Shu is remark about her decisions for the greatest l ist just a little much better.
