Good thing these don't mean anything. But it does show how retarded and biased Disney is.

 

[bone3421]

yeah they are just for fun,but how in the hell do you flip flop teams with the one getting swept moving up.....ridiculous

 

[bone3421]

so since they put the red sox 1st after getting swept by the rangers.....do they make a new spot "0" and move everyone up one since they got swept by the twins

He just can't keep the East Coast bias out of it. Unfortunate. The Yankees are a better team than the Giants? Hellz no.

At least Boston isn't at #1 again this week. What a joke that was.

Lets look at just Record
1. Texas
2. STL/NYY
4. Baltimore/San Fran
6.Boston/cincin
8. detroit/cleveland
10. ATL/pitt

Looks very similar...

 

[MilkSpiller22]

It just looks like he ranked the 6 divisional winners first... we know that is always true...

 

[calsnowskier]

These lists are 99.4% subjective, and he does not have anything there that is absolutely horrid.

And I usually HATE anything Olney puts out there.

Nothing horrid, but anyone could have made rankings like this... He did not even mix anything up... He ranked the 6 first place teams 1-6 and then ranked the 7-10... Boston should be off the list... they went 2-8 in the past 10 games and were a bad team last year... He omitted teams like pittsburgh, washington and cleveland, who have pretty much the same record and on the rise...

Your points are solid.

I am just saying that these internet lists are not even worth the paper they are (not) printed on. So getting too bent over them is kinda a waste of energy.

Like I said, I am NOT a Buster Olney fan, but it isn't like he still has Boston/NY 1/2, which is what he WANTS to do. He also WANTS to leave SF off the list entirely. The fact is that you need to know the messenger and factor in his biases from the beginning.

i agree that too many of us get too bent up about a sports writers opinions... the truth is that we are jealous that someone who clearly does not know much can get paid for something we all love... we have to realize that these people got these jobs because they are writers first... I cant write for shit, but i can make a better power rankings than this guy... Just wish i could get paid for it...

Power rankings are pretty stupid. But the sox would be in the playoffs if the season ended today, sooooo

Yes, but it doesn't. Not even close. So who cares? Thought you weren't going to be a saux fan anymore anyways.

I have heard a LOT over the last 3 years that the teams in the post season are not necessarily the best teams in the league. Are you saying this is not the case?
