ESPN's power rankings come out weekly (on Fridays, for reasons that make little sense to me). So I was checking where the NL-leading Snakes would wind up, and it turns out that we are tenth.

I know we have run differential issues, but it still doesn't make sense that from August 3-August 10 we went 5-1 and dropped a spot (to San Diego, who went 4-3 over the same period).

I know it's mainly AL teams ahead of us, and only the Mets, Braves, Padres in the NL, but seriously. Tenth?
