30. Chicago Cubs (24-36; Previous: 25) – So, eventually Hendry and Quade probably get fired, and you get the feeling it’ll be the equivalent of planting a fern in your backyard in order to stem global warming.
@ Dale
28. Houston Astros (24-38; Previous: 29) – Wade, just to be on the safe side, drafts seven more Rodriguezes, in case summer attrition causes him to run low.
@shortstop
25. Washington Nationals (27-35; Previous: 27) – Strasburg throwing light bullpen sessions, which witnesses describe as some of the best light bullpen sessions they’ve ever seen, sort of like the light bullpen sessions Ryan and Clemens used to have, just simply dominant light bullpen sessions. Really special bullpen sessions.
@ Scott
16. Cincinnati Reds (32-31; Previous: 13) – The Reds endeavor to keep the toothpicks in Dusty’s mouth and quit building pitching staffs out of them.
@Joe (jk)
15. Seattle Mariners (32-30; Previous: 18) – M’s win six consecutive series for first time in a decade, a six-pack that, at Figgins prices, would cost only $11.22.
@ gull
5. Milwaukee Brewers (35-27; Previous: 10) – Brewers win their 1,000th National League game. Get there just ahead of Cubs.
@ Steve
4. New York Yankees (33-26; Previous: 6) – Yanks felt Red Sox breath on their necks. Knew it was them because it smelled a little chowdery, a little Salty.
@ Steeks
2. Boston Red Sox (35-26; Previous: 5) – Francona says Matsuzaka absolutely will not require surgery. Town now sort of hoping he sides with Harold Camping in October.
@ task
1. Philadelphia Phillies (37-25; Previous: 2) – Plaxico Burress leaves prison wearing retro Phillies cap, hands it to a passing Lenny Dykstra at guard gate.
tldr: task, stq, zodi and gull round out the top 5 (wait one team is missing, but no one likes the cardinals so f them)
joe dale and ss rally for team despair
