Reds #4 in ESPN Power Rankings

I know most people don't care about these, and I'm in the same boat - but still fun to see the Reds at #4 on anything ESPN...

I like it!

How is it the Yankees are #5 with their so-so record?

because the earth would fall of it's axis if the Red Sox or Yankees weren't in the top 5. ESPN would have no idea how to fill hours of programming if for one season both turned into the Devil Rays

Re: Reds #4 in ESPN Power Rankings

I cant believe the amount of Bonds they have been filling their network with. Its unimaginable that they dont realize the vast numbers of time they give that putz. He's hated across the country so the "we are giving the people what they want" doesnt quite fit here... I dont get the facination ESPN has with the dope.

The Yankees have won 5 straight and 11 of the last 14. If that's so-so I'll take it.

Just because the media goes nuts with them when it's sometimes undeserved doesn't mean they shouldn't get appropriate attention when it is deserved.
