A Long Season for Something No One Cares About. It's The Stupid Power Rankings...MLB Style

It's one month into the season, so it's that time again to jump to ridiculous conclusions and hand out the most irrelevant prizes in all of sports...THE POWER RANKINGS!!!!!


Note: The records and stats are from the month of April, so if you're counting this weekends games, get a life...Terry!


1. Tampa Bay Rays (17-6)- Promise came to fruition in 2008, and after missing the playoffs last year, the Rays seem to be back and better than '08. Their offense is awesome, with Crawford, Longoria, and Pena doing their damage, but B.J. Upton looks like his power is starting to become more consistent.


The real story has been their pitching. Not having a starting pitcher with an ERA above 3.70 is nice, but the bullpen has been equally effective. If Shields, Garza, and Price can continue to pitch like this, the East is theirs to win.


Noteworthy note: Since the Rays dropped the "Devil" from their name for the '08 season, the Tampa Bay Rays are 198-149 with one World Series appearance. Hmm, maybe there is a God.


2. St Louis Cardinals(15-8)- Most People would put the Yanks here, but there's one reason the Cardinals are two on this list...Albert Pujols. .345 with 7 bombs and 19 RBIs is impressing, and it's allowing Holliday and Ludwick to see pitches to hit as well. Colby Rasmus has shown that he was read for the bigs by posting a .323 average to go along with 6 knocks and 12 ribbies, which has helped add depth to a line-up that was in need of someone to step up after losing Mark Derosa to free agency.


If it wasn't for Kyle Lohse, the Cards starting staff would be omazing with a capital O, with Brad Penny having his best season since he stopped throwing Alyssa Milano a heavy dose of screwballs. Ryan Franklin has been solid as the closer, but with a 1.86 ERA and almost three times as many K's as Franklin, Jason Motte is emerging as the heir apparent.


Noteworthy note: No Cardinals pitchers have died so far this year, and for that, the season is already a success.


3. New York Yankees(15-7)- The Yankees are winning games, especially at home where they are 6-1, and they've been doing this while Mark Teixeira has yet to hit a ball for seemingly the last month. Robinson Cano is hammering the pelota, and Posada doesn't look a day over 47 for the first time in a couple years. None of their offseason additions in the line-up have looked good so far, with Randy Winn posting a .077 BA so far, but if Curtis Granderson (who looks more like Curtis Fanderson, 17 K's in 77 AB's), Nick Johnson, or Randy Winn can get started with Teixeira, this offense will be as scary as a Tea Party convention.

The pitching has been solid, almost bordering dominant if it wasn't for Javier Vazquez being a real life psychology experiment every 5th day( 20 runs in 20 innings, all earned). His meltdowns have diminished what has otherwise been very good starting pitching. Joba the Hut has been strong since moving to the bullpen, which is where he belongs, and Rivera has gone untouched through 9 innings, posting a 0.00 ERA, 9 K's, and only 3 hits, but the rest of the pen hasn't been so good. With Chan "Hey" Ho Park having injury problems already this season and no one else picking up the slack, they Yanks better hope that the pen doesn't become the herpes of the team, with constant flare-ups and no cure.


Noteworthy note: Yankee fans still haven't read up on the proper etiquette for leaving your hat on during "God Bless America". I continue to take mine off, only because I don't eat knuckle sandwiches.


4. San Francisco (13-9)- Basically this offense has to score a run to win a game, but they have hit the shit out of the ball so far. There isn't a plethora of power on this team, but at AT&T park, you won't get much power, unless you eat an assload of steroids and Human Growth Hormone. Pablo Sandoval continues to make everyone want to hug him (or is that just me?). Edgar Renteria, Juan Uribe, and Aaron Rowand all are hitting .300+. Nate Shierholtz continues to stroke the ball when he has the chance, and in San Francisco that is quite frequently, hitting at a .375 clip.

The real story of the Giants 2010 team is their starting pitching. This gangbang of pitching is headed up by Tim Lincecum, who looks like he'll be competing for his 3rd straight Cy Young Award. Jesus Sanchez and Barry Zito, who is having his best year since crossing the Bay, join Lincecum with sub 2 ERA's. Matt Cain hasn't been great, but he hasn't been bad either, but if he starts to light it up, things could get orgasmic. Brian Wilson and the bullpen has been good, and it's not too hard when you're only job is just not to blow anything (oh, no, that could be taken the wrong way).


Noteworthy note: Bengie Molina just made it to first base on a ground ball he hit last Tuesday.


5. Minnesota Twins (15-8)- Will this team ever have a bad year ever again? Mauer is struggling so far at only a .345 BA, , Morneau is only hitting .347, and his 17 RBI's are only seconds on the team, behind Michael Cuddyer, who has only 18. This M&M tandem of won't melt in your mouth, but they will crush your balls (when did this post take a sexual turn; damn you San Francisco). Jim Thome has only managed 4 home runs in 43 at bats, and Denard Span is hitting a weak .301. This offense may be lacking slightly in power, but I doubt that will last long.


Francisco Liriano has re-emerged and has basically been un-hittable so far this season. The rest of the starting staff doesn't look as good, but with Matt Gurrier, Ron Mahay getting the ball to John Rauch, this team has managed to win games without Joe Nathan.


Noteworthy Note: Brett Farve (I'm spelling it the way it's pronounced, fuckers) still hasn't decided whether he'll attend any games this year or not. Tavaris Jackson has been waiting patiently outside Target Field all season.


6. Philadelphia Phillies(12-10)- This was probably the best looking team on paper going into this season, and they look like they are going to be very good, which is why they are ahead of a few teams that have better records than them this season. Utley looks like he could be in line for an MVP, Howard is right on his usual track, and Jayson Werth is becoming on of the most valuable outfielders in the game today. They would like to see Raul Ibanez get back to his power numbers from last year, but Jimmy Rollins hitting .391 is helping set up opportunities to score runs for this offense.

As far as pitching, I have two words for you. Suck it!!!! And then, I have two more...Roy Halladay. He's most likely the early front runner for a Cy Young, but the rest of the staff hasn't looked very good. The bullpen hasn't found any consistency to the 2010 campaign, and with Brad Lidge sucking balls and having to place Ryan Madson on the 15-day DL for giving a chair the ol' Al Del Greco, they may need to make solidifying their bullpen a major priority.


Noteworthy note: Players on the team are getting tired of having to give up their seat on the bus to Jamie Moyer.


7. New York Mets (14-9)- Who would've thought it would be Jeff Francoeur and Ike Davis, along with David Wright, that would be the catalysts to this teams offense. The rest of the offense has been pretty anemic, but they've still found ways to win games.

Pitching is most likely the cause for they Mets winning. Johan Santana and Mike Pelfrey have been awesome, but the biggest surprise has come from the steady performace out of the bullpen so far. The bullpen has killed the Mets the last couple of years, but this year it has been reliable. In the end though, I see this team falling in these standings as the season wears on, pissing off New Yorkers for yet another year.


Noteworthy note: RP #50 Sean Green is not Jewish.


8. San Diego Padres (15-8)- What the hell? Why is this team so good. They got rid of their ace pitcher last year, they have a roster full of guys who aren't household names, yet they are at the top of the NL west.

Adrian Gonzalez is the obvious pillar of the offense, but the Friars are getting great play from Chase Headley, as well. After those two, you look at this offense and their numbers and think, what the hell? (Again)

They put together a string of wins mainly due to good strong pitching, and John Garland's 2.57 ERA and 2-2 record is proving to be a pretty good pick up. Wade Leblanc has looked very good in his three starts, and Kevin Correia has been a pleasant surprise. Will the Padres win the division this year, probably not, but with budding stars like Kyle Blanks, it will be a fun year to watch the San Diego Padres play the underdog role.


Noteworthy note: They've stayed classy, Terry Adams has not.


9 Detroit Tigers (14-10)- Austin Jackson and Miguel Cabrera are starring on this prototypical mash and bash American League team. They hit, and hit, and hit, and hit, and hit. Having Magglio Ordonez look like the 2006 version has also been a bright spot for this club.

One thing they do not do is pitch. At least the starters anyway. They bullpen has put up some decent numbers so far, but they are getting no help from the likes of Justin Verlander (5.53 ERA), or Rick Porcello (8.03 ERA). If Valverde and Zumaya and the rest of the bullpen can find a little help from their friends, this team could find itself right in the hunt of the AL Central.


Noteworthy note: Miguel Cabrera is sticking to only clear liquors the mornings before day games this year.


10. Cincinnati Reds (12-11)- They are high up on the board mainly because I'm rooting for them. They don't have a great team, but it's pretty damn good. If Votto can stay out of the mental ward, and Jay Bruce can hit above .220, this team could vie for a playoff spot at season's end. Problem is, no regular (discounting Ryan Hanigan since he has fewer at bats than Ramon Hernandez) has a batting average over .275.

Which leads us to the pitching, which hasn't been that great in the early going. That doesn't bode well for this team winning it all, but when you look at the staff, it is foreseeable that they could go from bad to mediocre, then pray for Aroldis Chapman to come up and be the ace this team needs. The Reds bullpen has been good as long as it keeps the ball out of the hands of Nick Masset, who has a 11.32 ERA, but again, it's not a good thing when your team's best pitcher is in double A.


Noteworthy note: The first 10,000 fans attending the May 7th game against the Cubs will get free 4 inch thick goggles for Chris Sabo night. One lucky fan will also get to try to catch an Adam Dunn home run he hit originally in 2006.


11. Los Angeles Angles Of Anaheim (12-12)- This team is atop division no one seems to want through the first month. The Angles are relying heavily on Kendry Morales for run production, and while Abreu, Hunter, and Matsui are all nice bats to have in the line-up, this team seems to be one legitimate bat short of being very good.

The Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim of California of the United States of America have found an emerging ace in Jared Weaver, but they are definitely missing John Lackey. Joel Pineiro hasn't quite been what they had hoped, and Joe Saunders has started slow, but this pitching staff should start to come back to the norm and be pretty strong.


Noteworthy note: Where the fuck is this team located anymore?


12. Toronto Blue Jays (12-12)- This team has killed the ball over the first month. Vernon Wells is playing likes he's actually worth the 8.7 trillion dollars the Jays gave him, and Alex Gonzalez decided to say during the month of April, "What the shit, why not hit the piss out of the ball" (this according to inside sources). And while watching Adam Lind, it's hard not to think to yourself he would be a superstar if he didn't play in a country no one cares about.


Ricky Romero made the career decision to step into the shoes of Roy Halladay for the first month of the season, Shawn Marcum is about as solid as they come. Brandon Morrow has ace stuff, but he gets Community College results. The bullpen is very shaky, so trust me, this team will come down the list as the season continues.


Noteworthy note: All 3,000 people who attend Blue Jays games will get to watch the Stanley Cup playoffs on the scoreboard during the baseball game.


13. Oakland A's (12-12)- This is another team that will almost certainly begin to tail off as the season progresses. Yes it's the month of April, but having Kurt Suzuki lead your team in home runs is like Man Vs. Food's Adam Richman being the healthiest person in the room. It's not a good thing.

Pitching is where the team looks to be good so far. Dallas Braden has showed signs of life, Justin Duchscherer has faired well despite a mediocre strike-out to walk ratio (18 K's to 12 BB's), and Brett Anderson and Gio Gonzalez could both have ace stuff in the near future. Ben Sheets needs to fix his command problems, but his fastball looks to be back, which is a good sign. Unfortunately, I don't see him in Oakland past this year, which is when I think he'll begin to look like his old self. Andrew Baily is a total stud in the pen, which gives them a shot as long as they have a lead late in the game.


Noteworthy note: MC Hammer is once again a bat boy for the Athletics. He is thankful for the job.


14. Washington Nationals (13-10)- Yeah, that's right. They're 14 on the big stupid board. Yes, you're right, they won't stay there very long, but at least there is some promise in good ol' Warshington. Nyjer Morgan is going to be a very productive player. Josh Willingham is damn good, and they have a no longer budding now fully bloomed superstar in Ryan Zimmerman. Adam Dunn will get them some nice young prospects come July 31 and Ivan Rodriguez is hitting like he's back on the juice, so things are looking up for the Nasty Nats.

Stephen Strasburg got his ticket to Triple-A Syracuse today, so Livan Hernandez and the boys look to have some company in the need future. Jason Marquis hasn't quite been the acquisition Washington had hoped, but again, El Savior is on this way. The bullpen has performed admirably, but it isn't anything impressive. Oh, wait, Matt Capps has 10 saves in 10 opportunities. I bet that has caused a few "son of a bitches" from some GM's who passed on him this offseason.


Noteworthy Note: If I hear one more fan say they'd pay good money to watch Chris Stammen pitch...


15. Seattle Mariners (11-12)- Honestly, this was my pick to win the AL West and possibly be a World Series contender. Although it's early, they haven't played as well as most people expected. Once you get past Ichiro and Franklin Gutierrez, this offense looked more like the Coal City Marniers (home town shout out!!) than the Seattle Mariners. Milton Bradley must hate base hits too, because he's avoided them at all costs through the first month of the season, and Chone Figgins is still a favorite in Los Angeles, because he isn't doing anything so far for Seattle.

Getting Cliff Lee back will be big for this pitching staff, which has been very good so far in Lee's absence. King Felix is a young stallion, and he and Lee could very well turn out to be the best 1-2 punch in the AL.


Noteworthy note: Milton Bradley has invited everyone over for some broiled fish. He seems like a really nice guy.


16. Colorado Rockies (11-12)- The Rockies are a team that almost everyone agrees will be in the top 10 of this stupid thing by the month of June. Troy Tulowitzki is the face of this club, and though he had only 1 HR through April, he should deviate back to his norm and start knocking balls out of the park. This line-up mixes speed, contact, and power about as well as anyone, and if Miguel Olivo hits anything near what he hit in April, this offense should be pretty damn impressive, yet again.


Ubaldo Jimenez has probably the best stuff in the National League, and he may have the best stuff in baseball. He notched himself a no-no, so his confidence should take off along with his stock as the game's best pitcher. The rest of the starting seems to be more concerned about watching Jimenez than winning their own games. Jorge De La Rosa has been solid with a 3-1 record and a respectable 3.91 ERA, but Colorado needs someone (I'm looking at you Aaron Cook) to step up and give the Rockies some depth in the rotation.The bullpen has been okay, but only 3 saves in one month is a little more than alarming.


Noteworthy note: All the Rockies players have already said they can't wait to have Tim Teabow come to throw out the first pitch so they can tell him to shut the fuck up.


17. Florida Marlins (11-12)- Chris Coghlan isn't quite having the sophomore season he or the Florida Marlins had hoped. Hitting just .195 through April, he hasn't given the Marlins the fire they needed at the top of the order. Jorge Cantu started the season red hot, and if he can continue to drive in runs, they Marlins should be a tough club all year.

Josh Johnson and Ricky Nolasco could become a top notch combo in the Marlins rotation in the near future. All that's in the way? Health and consistency. Josh Johnson is maybe the best pitcher ESPN pays no attention to (and the list of pitchers they ignore is quite large), and Nolasco can be every bit as dominant when healthy, but Nolasco has had some arm issues, so the spotlight may have to wait for just a little bit. The rest of the Marlins good young arms need to become just good arms if this team is going to compete.


Noteworthy note: I lived across the street from Wrigley Field in 2008 when the Cubs fans booed Dan Uggla every time he came to bat for his 2008 All-Star game performance because they thought it ruined their chances to have home field advantage for the World Series. Dan is waiting for their apology.


18. Chicago White Sox (9-14)- .193, .187, .169, .108, .091, and .200. No, those aren't high school wrestling weight classes, they are batting averages of some of the White Sox hitters. The offense apparently stayed in Arizona when the team broke north, with the exception of Andruw Jones and Paul Konerko, who is currently leading all the majors in home runs. They lack clutch hitting, they lack the small ball qualities Ozzie Guillen so desperately begged for (hard to steal bases when you're not on base), and they lack any sign of intensity. And why does it look like Juan Pierre and Omar Vizquel are hitting a medicine ball every time they make contact?

The rotation, with the exception of John Danks, has pissed their pants, with Jake Peavy leading the charge. I'm not ready to give up on Peavy, but 100 pitches through 5 and 1/3 isn't goint to cut it. The bullpen on the other hand has been damn good. Matt Thornton is the most fun person in baseball to watch. Never has 98 mph looked so easy. Putz and Linebrink have been admirable, too, and Sergio Santos looks like a closer in the making. Could Bobby Jenks be trade bait in July? Yes, as long as he doesn't eat himself.


Noteworthy note: At .091, Omar Visquel is hitting Alexei Ramirez's weight.


19. Atlanta Braves (9-14)- Atlanta looked to be a sleeper in the NL East, but instead, they just went to sleep. Besides Martin Prado and Jason Heyward (team leading 20 RBI's), the bats have been silent. Chipper Jones has already begun to break down, Troy Glaus is producing a lot of big whiffahs, Nate McClouth hasn't gotten over his case of the Pirates, and Brian McCann doesn't look like the All-Star he has been in the past. Bobby Cox's final year could be a long one watching this offense.


Tommy Hanson picked up where he left off last season, and Tim Hudson looks healthy for the first time in a while, but Lowe, Jurrjens, and Kawakami are giving McCann a cold with all the people breezing past him at home plate. Billy Wagner has looked good so far, unfortunately for him and the Braves, there just aren't any saves to be had so far this season.


Noteworthy note: Hoooooo ohhhh ohhoooooo, hooooooooooope you like small pox.


20. Boston Red Sox (11-12)- Almost nothing has been more exciting than to watch the Boston Red Sox struggle this season. Their offense has been offensive, and there really isn't much hope for it to drastically turn around. Dustin Pedroia has started well with 6 HR's and 18 RBI's while hitting .302, but David Ortiz has been equally as bad. Big Crappy is hitting .143 with a, yes, a home run and 4 RBI's. Since being exposed for the fraud he is last year, Ortiz has struggled and all the negativity has taken him from charismatic and endearing to just plain annoying. Victor Martinez is the x factor in this offense, if he can get hot, he could help turn things around.

The Sawks (I prefer Sucks) pitching hasn't been all it was hyped up to be. John Lackey doesn't have his usual stuff, and Josh Beckett is walking too many hitters while not striking out enough. Clay Buchholz is carrying way too much of Boston's weight in the rotation, especially for a bullpen that can't seem to strand runners.


Noteworthy note: It's nice to watch Red Sox fans squirm in frustration while they try to figure out why they aren't getting their way anymore.


21. Arizona Diamondbacks (11-12)- Kelly Johnson and Mark Reynolds both have 9 homers, and Chris Young is putting together a nice start, but the big disappointment has been Justin Upton, who has yet to get hot. This team is striking out too much, with Upton being the ring leader with 35 strikeouts already. They could be dangerous if they figure out the object is to make contact with the ball.

The Diamondbacks' ERAs would look more favorable if they were Olympic diving scores. Edwin Jackson hasn't been able to build on his past two seasons, and Brandon Webb is being missed sorely, and no one seems to be sure exactly when he's coming back. The bullpen's been about as unproductive as a Dr. Phil episode.


Noteworthy note: Arizona just passed a new immigration law this past week because they apparently don't like really good double play combinations.


22. Chicago Cubs (11-13)- "Year One" is the Cubs marketing campaign this year. Too bad reality is that it's year "One" hundred and 2 without a World Series title. That doesn't seem to be changing any time soon. Ryan Theriot and Marlon Byrd have been impressive so far, but the Cubs biggest issue is the middle of their order, Derek Lee and Aramis Ramirez, hitting .215 and .155 respectively. Timely hits haven't been coming at the right time, which, if that makes any sense, is a problem.


The pitching hasn't been all that bad, but any time Carlos Silva is carrying the staff, then there's an issue. Carlos Zambrano was moved to the bullpen which only worked because he realized that was the only way for him to stay relevant, and being the drama queen he is, Zambrano would rather be in the spotlight than in the playoffs. The bullpen is too thin to really contend this year, so don't expect much more than what they are offering right now.


Noteworthy note: It must be distracting to the team to know that Lou Pinella is expecting twins.


23. Texas Rangers (11-12)- This team can hit, and they can pitch some too, but they just can seem to win. This team could move up quickly (for what it's worth) if they could find a way to put together a string of wins.

Josh Hamilton is starting to look like he did two years ago, Nelson Cruz is too legit to quit, and Vlad Guerrero is batting .326 with 13 RBI's for the Rangers, so this team very well could get hotter than Louie Anderson's armpits. If Ian Kinsler can come back healthy, they could make a serious push at the division.

Colby Lewis and C.J. Wilson have been great so far, and Scott Feldman is the best Jewish pitcher since Koufax, but the back end of the bullpen has been unable to find the marriage between stuff and results. They are better off just trying to win games 14-13.


Noteworthy note: Where's the party at? Ron Washington's house.


24. Pittsburgh Pirates (10-13)- This ranking epitomizes why power rankings are stupid. Through the first month of the season, they weren't the worst team in baseball, but by the end of September, you can be damned sure they will be. Andrew McCutchen is clearly a budding star on this team, and Ryan Doumit is proving to be a solid backstop, but the Bucs have little or nothing else to look forward to. There is still a lot of confusion to moving Nate McClouth and Nyjer Morgan, which teamed with McCutchen would've made for a brilliant young outfield. Instead, Pittsburgh is looking at another decade of bad offense.

The pitching, well, that's the same story. Their ERA's look like stations on the FM dial. Zach Duke has been the teams best arm for the last couple of years, and that's not really a good thing. Simply put, theirs no end in sight to shitty baseball for the Pirates.


Noteworthy note: At least Pittsburgh has Ben Roethlisberger semi-raping girls to distract them from the Pirates.


25. Los Angeles Dodgers (9-14)- This team isn't this far down on the list just because they haven't played well, but also because there is a chance things could implode very quickly. Ned Colletti has called out several players (namely Matt Kemp) he thinks aren't doing enough to win Dodger hustle award. This team might be stuggling now, but with Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, and James Loney leading the charge, this team is far too talented to not win ballgames. Man Ram is hitting, but staying out of trouble is a more pressing issue for this team to get back in the race.


Clayton Kershaw and Hideki Kuroda are pitching well, but Vincente Padilla is more sweaty than good. Chad Billingsley has to chose between being good or being great, and if he chooses the later, this staff will have enough to win the division, or at least make a play at the wild card. Through April, this team has one save (Jonathon Broxton), in five opportunities in the entire month. Umm, i'm no mathlete, but that's awful.


Noteworthy note: Joe Torre has to have the major's largest prostate in baseball.


26. Milwaukee Brewers (9-14)- The Brew Crew can rake, but they sure can't pitch much. Ryan Braun is possibly the best outfielder in the NL, Casey McGehee is a damn good player, and Ricky Weeks is showing some promise, finally. Prince Fielder hasn't been himself so far, but that should change, and it absolutely has to or else.


Or else what? Or else they won't win another game all year that isn't pitched by Yovani Gallardo. They've gotten good starts from Randy Wolfe, but, he's Randy Wolfe. He's an average pitcher being asked to post better than average numbers. As for the bullpen, well, all I have to say is Trevor Hoffman is 4 for 8 in save chances. Is that a collective "oh shit" coming from Wisconsin?


Noteworthy note: Reliever Todd Coffey loves high fructose corn syrup.


27. Cleveland Indians (9-13)- The Tribe needs Shin-Soo Choo to carry the load, because Grady Sizemore and Travis Hafner aren't playing even close to the level they were in 2007. Also, Matt LaPorta hasn't been as advertised to this point.

Fausto Carmona looks great when he's not spotting the ball 6 inches in the left-handed batters box, and Matt Talbot has Cy Young numbers with Charles Nagy stuff. The whole staff, especially the bullpen, has major control issues. Kerry Wood will be auditioning for teams once he gets back from his 34th trip to the DL.


Noteworthy note: CC Sabathia was flattered that his old uniform is still displayed at the Jake during rain delays as the Indians field tarp.


28. Houston Astros (8-14)- This team is like watching the movie Cocoon on rewind. Everyone keeps waiting for the rebuilding project to start, but the team just gets older and worse. Carlos Lee has a goose egg in the home run department and is hitting .176, and Lance Berkman has started slow since coming back from injury.

Roy Oswalt has great stuff despite having a bad back, and Wandy Rodriguez and Brett Myers have acceptable numbers so far, but there just isn't enough pitching here to make a run like they have the last couple of years.


Noteworthy note: Everything is bigger in Texas, and that applies to the fans' disappointment.


29. Kansas City Royals (9-14)- This team will be good in a year or so, but for now, they have to settle on sucking. Billy Butler is getting better seemingly each week, and Jose Guillen is hammering everything in site, but they would like to see Alex Gordon become at least half the player they projected him to be.

Zach Greinke a 2.56 ERA and 27 K's over 31.2 innings, but he's 0-2 through April. Gil Meche on the other hand is proving to be money that wasn't well spent on a team that doesn't spend a lot of money. Kyle Farnsworth still has very tight pants, which has nothing to do with his abilities, but it can't help. Joakim Soria would be a household name if he played anywhere else.


Noteworthy note: George Brett has taken the most beautiful double-tapered shit known to man.


30. Baltimore Orioles (5-18)- This team sucks really bad.


Noteworthy note: At least the world will end in 2012.


The power rankings are in, and if it wasn't obvious enough already, these things are pretty stupid...but totally awesome!!!!
