[Dan Wood]

Colby I think the Stros are letting you know what they think of their power ranking on you in this weeks match up

[ksquakes]

yep, been pretty bitter about the power ranking, got a win and a close lose in prior two meetings against top 10 opponents. Still couldn't seem to get out of the bottom 3, thanks for the work you do on the power ranking Colby, but here's to continuing  this weeks lead over the bucs, go stros...

I've scored more points, and have two more wins than the Marlins, but I'm still behind them, Colb?  Killin' me man, guess I'm gonna have to start buying your vote! :-)

Btw, if any of you saw the final score, I think I beat the Padres by roughly 1.5 points...and I was up 110 going into Sunday...

Records have nothing to do it with it but they do force me to take a second look more often than not.  The rankings are based purely on MLB talent.  I think the Orioles and Marlins can do more with their teams than yours at this point.  This changes constantly though... just wait till a month from now when Strasburg is called up.

So, theoretically, if I go .500 this year, I could still be sitting pretty at 29 in the Rankings?  I might have to test your mettle, Colb. :koolaid:

The Cards are actually #2 in points scored to the BREWERS rather than the Yankees.  Our only loss was to the Brewers and we  plan on giving them a better battle in the playoffs.

Cardinals im pulling for ya, us underdogs have to stick together!

Good call although some of the point totals are lower than what they should be because of the lineup problems.  Colby make a couple adjustments just to keep the records consistent but points scored are off for some teams.

Thanks Chad.  I like the underdog role.
