Has it been 81 games already? It sure seems like the season flies by when your team performes better than everyone alive expected. This has been one of the most entertaining first halfs I have ever watched. 1. Tampa Bay Rays: Ladies and Gentlemen, your new King of the Hill. They are in top form right now, so I have to give them some respect, even if this is a trendy pick. Here is a scary … [Read more...]
Noles’ Power Rankings Week 12
June 16, 2008 By 2 Comments
Ok, so I skipped a couple of weeks... sue me. 1. Boston Red Sox: By a nose, yet again. Yeah, Big Poopy is out, but obviously nobody told them, They are a proven team, and the Cubs are not. That, and their pitching rotation is better. All these guys have to do is stay healthy. 2. Chicago Cubs: I never would have thought it, but Sweet Lou really did turn things around at Wrigley. This is … [Read more...]

May 29, 2008 By 1 Comment
Will 2008 be the year of Florida baseball? Not if Boston or the Cubs have anything to say about it. The Rays, Marlins, and Red Sox are about as close as four teams can be at the top of the rankings this week. 1. Boston Red Sox (LW: 3): I just have to go with experience here. Remember, these guys are the current World Series Champions. The road to the AL Pennant runs through Fenway Park. … [Read more...]

I assume you guys figured out by now that I'm going to be doing these things pretty sporadically. However, I promise to try to update at least once every two weeks. They say the standings start to become significant after Memorial Day... so those teams that find themselves several games back should start to get worried.1. NY Mets: Just barely over Boston. That sweep of the streaking Marlins … [Read more...]

This has been an exciting first month of the season to say the least. Surprises: the Brewers with the best record in baseball, Josh Hamilton's comeback, the return of the Braves led by Tim Hudson, ARod is absolutely killing the ball, Josh Beckett's rediscovered poise, John Maine, and the Marlins' offense. Disappointments include: Philly's start, the Yankees' rotation, the Marlins' rotation, Jorge … [Read more...]

OK boys and girls, time for Power Rankings Version 2.0. Lots of movement this week.1. NY Mets: They only keep this spot because nobody else has shown a strong case to supplant them. Once Carlos Delgado wakes up their lineup should easily be the scariest in the National League. (Last Week: 1)2. Detroit: Most complete team in the majors. Solid starting pitching, one of the best bullpens in baseball, … [Read more...]

I'm sure you have seen these things before on the big websites, so there is no need for me to explain that the rankings will be entirely subjective.So lets start the show:1. … [Read more...]
