Dodgers rule!
Written to that hack of an analyst, Ryne Sandberg:
I would like to comment that your rankings and predictions need some serious work. Do you hate the Dodgers or something? They are the best team in baseball, have been proving it for the last two weeks, yet not only did you predict them to fall 1-2 against the Padres over the weekend, you resisted giving them the top spot in the power rankings for this week. However, teams continue to appear high on your list that haven't shown an ounce of the 'potential' that they are ranked on.
Let's break it down, ok? The Dodgers have the best pitching staff in baseball, not including the three amazing pitchers they have on the DL. (I hope they ship Dreyfort to some Dominican little league team in exchange for their starter.) Their bats have been amazing. I didn't even think they'd score a run this year, but they LEAD THE LEAGUE in run production. If that doesn't count for your "power" rankings, I don't know what does. (Wait, yes I do.. speculation, but see Padres prediction above.) Their defense is a little ridiculous, but the very fact that it's only hurt them once is a testament to the strength of the aforementioned pitching and hitting.
GIVE THE DODGERS SOME LOVE!
