Kyyle23 Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 QUOTE(mreye @ May 26, 2005 -> 08:29 AM) Why do we worry about this? I got sick of reading about Anthrax's GM moves. So I found something else to occupy my time. If we arent worrying about something or another on this site, what are we doing? Not too much.

Kyyle23 Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 I guess it is a bit petty, but I dont see any real reason that the Sox should have been dropped to the 2 spot by the cardinals. the only reason I see the Sox dropping is because ESPN predicted that the Cardinals would overtake the Sox for the top spot. The ESPN pundits couldnt have made their prediction wrong, that would be silly. So the team with the best record in the Majors is now the second best team in the Majors. makes perfect sense!

Balta1701 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 While you're complaining about the "professional" rankings, you should also take a second to look at the rankings compiled by ESPN.com visitors. The public poll is turning out the right way. We're on top. Feel free to go vote yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hideaway Lights Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 guys, FYI when this was published, the cardinals were 10-5 in their previous fifteen while the sox were just 8-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 lol it says the Cardinals are 15-2 in their last 17 games, but when half of the are against the Royals, it's doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be Good Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Sox have the best record and baseball and are #2. That makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the power rankings should just be best to worst, in order of record? Seems pretty silly to have them that way. The subjectivity (agree or not) is what makes power rankings fun.

Seems pretty silly to have them that way. The subjectivity (agree or not) is what makes power rankings fun. Yeah but not with the top 3 or so teams. It's not like we struggled recentley that we should of dropped. But power rankings are opinion, so I shouldn't argue with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well seeing how we're 9-8 in our last 17 I'd say we have struggled lately, record wise atleast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
