Move over, Yankees!

ESPN just released this week's power ranking in the MLB. Guess who is on top this week ? Not the boys in the Bronx, but all the way in Flushing! Way to go.

Quote:
(ESPN)The AL Central contenders are mired in mediocrity. Most of the National League is still struggling just to stay above .500. Of the two best MLB teams last week, one is a long shot to make the playoffs, and the other is a wild-card leader ... with the majors' 11th-best record.

In other words, there have been no serious threats to the two New York juggernauts at the top of ESPN.com's Power Rankings. The Mets and the Yankees occupy the top two spots for the third straight week. Perhaps we should start booking our tickets for New York in late October.

Best of the week: The Angels and the Padres were 5-1, rising to No. 4 and No. 7 respectively. Watch out for the Halos: They're 5½ back in the AL West, but they play the No. 3 A's in seven of their last 10 games.

Worst of the week: The Diamondbacks (1-6) have effectively dropped from the NL wild-card picture and down to No. 23 in the rankings.
2006 Power Rankings: September 8
RK LW RANK TEAM REC COMMENT
1 1 Mets 87-52 With the way he's pitched since being acquired from the Indians, Guillermo Mota has filled in perfectly for the injured Duaner Sanchez.
2 2 Yankees 83-55 Johnny Damon has now scored more than 100 runs for nine straight seasons. He also already has a career-high 22 home runs.
3 3 Athletics 80-59 Incognito ace. Joe Blanton (7-2 in 10 starts since the break) has 27 wins in his first two seasons in the bigs.
4 8 Angels 75-65 Keep hope alive. The Angels (12-3 in their last 15 home games) have 13 contests remaining in Anaheim.
5 4 Twins 80-59 The Twins are just 5-11 against the Tigers this season; they've been outscored 100-52.

Re: Move over, Yankees!

hehe, amazing that both New York teams are playing so well at this point in the season and running away with their respective divisions. A potential Subway Series is not out of the question. And who could've thought that our generation would see two possible World Series match-ups.

Now only if the rest of the country would care
