As far as Mizuno going to LA to play in November the only two teams that are actually guaranteed in the Brenda Marsh are Grapettes Norwood and CC Dirt Dogs. The tourney is full according to the web site.
RR Gold, Grapettes Noroood, Mizuno Stone, Breeze 99, TC Smash 99, KG Hitters, CC Dirt Dogs 99 (CC is the only one i havent seen since summer)....NONE of these teams are in the top tier as of right now in my eyes. None of them. organization name recognition is meaningless to the actual talent of the team. I would clearly say that Garcia IS the best team, get used to it. Garcia lost a long time 2B and C and got better.....not many teams pull that off.
