caulfield12 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/story/11656910 Although they might be back to sinking if they lose 2/3 to the Birds...hope this isn't our "high point" of the season. Also, didn't realize Kip Wells was back in baseball with the Nationals of all teams. BTW, you're acting like Cowley. Stop trying so hard and deliberately to be funny Dobrow, it only works 10% of the time when it's forced.

Warning readers about his own ranking methods: "they take into account the seething hatred I have for your team, whoever it might be, because I'm dumb and I have a hidden political agenda and I live on the East Coast so I go to bed before its games are done.

Melissa1334 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Carlos Zambrano remains the hardest-working man in baseball. no sure i understood that part lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Why exactly do people pay attention to power rankings? Some dude arbitrarily ranks the best teams in baseball through 2 weeks worth of games and this is supposed to be somehow relevant? Someone explain this to me. I mean, the OP doesn't even like the writing style of the author so it can't be for the witty analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 It's like listening to predictions in any sport. "The Saints will win the NFC championship game" ---All 8 major NFL analysts at the time. Yeah? How did that go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Same reason we (or most sports fans) enjoy following college basketball or football rankings throughout the year. This guy is probably more "objective" than Phil Rogers is, so it's always interesting to see how people outside of Chicago perceive the Sox and the other teams within our division.

Princess Dye Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 i treat power rankings like i do album reviews from critics. i find one person's take interesting, it might be enough to get me interested in following a team (buying a cd)... but i do not hold it as any sort of almighty truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
