Haven't done one of these in a month (sorry!), but I'll try to be better about it from this point forward.
TOP FIVE
1) Los Angeles Angels (no ranking, 42-26): The team can hit, but can the pitching hold up?
2) Boston Red Sox (#2, 42-24): What was a 14 1/2 game lead over the second place New York Yankees has dropped to 8 1/2 in just about two weeks. Can you say "1978"? I sure can...........
3) Oakland A's (no ranking, 37-29): Give GM Billy Beane credit. This team is always competitive.
4) New York Yankees (no ranking, 33-32): Like Dracula, a stake needed to be driven through their heart(s). No one did it, and the Red Sox obliged by losing four out of six games to the Bronx Bombers. Now, they're BAAAA-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-ACK....................
5) Los Angeles Dodgers (no ranking, 39-28): After last night's games, the Dodgers have jumped back over the San Diego Padres and into first place in the rough and tumble NL West, where only 1 1/2 games separate the top three teams.
Dropped out: Milwaukee Brewers (#1), Detroit Tigers (#3), Atlanta Braves (#4), New York Mets (#5)
BOTTOM FIVE
1) Chicago White Sox (no ranking, 27-36): Did this team really win the World Series just two years ago?
2) Texas Rangers (no ranking, 25-42): This team has reinvented the term "Texas Fold 'em").
3) Cincinnati Red (#5, 26-42): I wonder if Griffey Jr. doesn't ponder what life might have been like had he stayed in Seattle.
4) Baltimore Orioles (no ranking, 29-38): The Woerioles have lost six in a row and were swept by the previously struggling Washington Nationals.
5) Houston Astros (no ranking, 28-39): Manager Phil Garner's nickname during his playing days was "Scrap Iron". This team plays more like tin foil.
Dropped out: Washington Nationals (#1), Kansas City Royals (#2), Toronto Blue Jays (#3), Tampa Bay Devil Rays (#4)
