ESPN Poll - Weekend results

Friends:

The Diamondbacks are getting hammered in the ESPN poll for this weekend's game and postseason results. While people are voting for them for the NL West, they are forgotten in the "Strongest going into the playoffs" and TRAILING EVERYONE BUT THE BREWERS in the "Your pick for the WS" category.

Vote. Tell your friends to vote. I know it means nothing. But there's honor at stake here.

We're moving up a bit now...

3rd in 'Strongest in the NL', also overtaken the Mets and Padres and tied with the Rockies, as far as World Series choice goes. But the Phillies #1 there, with the Yankees and Red Sox second and third? Ah, forgot that the "E" in ESPN stands for 'East-coast biased'.

Here in the UK

One of our baseball commentators tipped the D'backs to get to the post-season.He was lightly mocked but is looking smart now.

We will meet in Red 3 at the hour of scampering.

Funny

I have to laugh that the Rockies are currently rated second in the "Strongest in the NL" question, but only 14.9% think they'll win the division, and only 31.5 think they'll take the Wild Card.

I'm not superstitious- it's bad luck.

WTF

How are the Phillies the winning pick for the WS, but not in the playoffs in the other poll questions?

We're also getting no respect in the power ranking

9th, behind COLORADO, Padres, Philies and barely edging out the Braves in terms of NL teams.

at this point I'm kind of glad

I'd love to see this team get a bit of a chip on their shoulder going into the playoffs instead of a "just glad we're here" attitude.

I really didn't think we'd be in this position this year, but now that we're here, I feel like we've got to jump on the opportunity. You only get so many post season opportunities and this might be the weakest NL we see in years.
