CPBL Roundup...

I usually don't cover too much on the CPBL, but thought that this would be a good time to run down on how some of the notables are doing over there.

First of all, team standings through 5/5/06
1)Bears 14-10
2)Bulls 12-12
3)Elephants 12-12
4)Whales 12-12
5)Cobras 10-12
6)Lions 10-12

All in all, pretty even competition in the first half of the season.
