Mid-Season Power Rankings!

Rank	Team	Record	Owner	Notes
1	Oakland	58-28	Mikebr13	Best pitching staff in the league. Offense is pretty good too. Got 7 first place votes.
2	Montreal	60-26	Ssauve25	Earned 5 first place votes. This is Ted Simpsons world, plain and simple.
3	Florida	51-35	Tedwmoore	Ted earned 1 first place vote (and he didn’t vote for himself). Starters have 19 complete games, and 7 blown saves.
4	Minnesota	50-36	Thunderdonkey	A very balanced offense led by O’Brien and Bouche. Not afraid to run, and do often with 89 steals already.
5	Texas	49-37	Akgsports	Finally got going and went on amazing 11 game win streak to catch Tampa. Don’t expect a drop off. This team is great.
6	Detroit	50-36	Jdrake27	Nice to see this team living up to expectations. Pitching, Defense, and Offense are all clicking. Dangerous
7	Cleveland	45-41	Drichter	Plenty of teams with better records, but not many with as good of talent. Be ready to watch the Indians make a run.
8	ChiCubs	46-40	Littlejim	What a turnaround! This team had been mired in the muck, but with a few slick moves they are now a player in the NL.
9	Pittsburgh	49-37	Rookie30000	Always one of the best teams in the NL. Hated putting them so low, but 10 blow saves but still best offense in NL.
10	Tampa Bay	49-37	Dodgers	WHAT!?!? Young pitchers growing up fast, and defense behind them is pretty good. Looks like  Maddon led team…
11	NY Mets	47-39	Blanch13	The Mets have risen from the dead with great defense and pitching. NL should be very afraid of this team.
12	NY Yankees	44-42	Overeasy	Pitching not as good, and offense is a little off. Yet…here they are. Wait until this team gets hot.
13	Baltimore	43-43	Crabman	Maybe crabman was right…maybe I did overrate this team. Spent a lot of time leading the division before falling apart.
14	Philadelphia	46-40	Dillontt	Another team that felt overrated. Only six blown saves and a stellar pitching staff so far. Expect this team to contend.
15	Toronto	43-43	Rod33	Rod thought this was his best team yet. But they are only .500. Offense has been horrid.
16	San Diego	43-33	Sermonauthor	Looks like the best team in the NL West for the time being. Still one of the better pitching staffs in baseball.
17	St. Louis	41-45	Cyben5150	Had a great season last year just missing playoffs. Looks like they are taking a step back due to poor pitching.
18	Portland	40-46	Dakar	The famous Dakar has started the turnaround. They won’t challenge the A’s this year, but if they pitching gets better…
19	Atlanta	41-45	Bux_express	Imagine this team with offense. If they can get anyone to contribute they could sneak in, but there are a lot of good teams ahead of them.
20	Washington	40-46	Rigbystarr	Last place teams shouldn’t be this good.
21	LAD	40-46	Wvwc9092	This team should be MUCH better than they are showing. 13 blown saves might explain why they are not in first.
22	San Francisco	40-46	Tmantom3285	Finally the offense is better. If the defense and pitching can catch up this team could sneak in. It’s getting better on the Bay.
23	Boston	39-47	jclarkbaker	Good pitching, bad hitting. Time to summon JOBU!
24	Arizona	39-47	Beanpole	Offense is really clicking in the deser (405 runs), but the pitching staff is getting ROCKED.
25	Charlotte	37-49	Bignr	They finally made it to the playoffs, won 95 games…and then imploded. Offense is horrible, and Pedro can’t do it by himself.
26	ChiSox	39-47	Jnewfry	If the pitching gets better (404 runs allowed), the offense might just get this team out of last place.
27	Milwaukee	38-48	Bison8	Nothings Brewing in Milwaukee…
28	Houston	34-52	Dherz_263	There isn’t a starter with a positive hits to IP ratio. And none below 4.3 era. Long season.
29	Cincinnati	35-51	Sockless_Joe	Worst pitching staff in the league. By FAR. 518 runs allowed. How have they won 35 games? They can actually hit.
30	Kansas City	34-52	Hinz57	Still trying to clean up the mess in KC. Man, I feel sorry for Hinz…
31	Anaheim	33-53	Sweetness355	They need some Angels in the outfield…
32	Seattle	31-55	Suginamiku	Blame it on rain, ya ya
