Mets

69-37

Someone better check to see if Ken Harvey has a Super Man outfit on under that Met’s uniform.  Printing playoff tickets as I type.

7

2

Pirates

68-38

One of the Power Ranking’s favorites.  Just keeps on building and never seems to be done improving this team.

4

3

ChiSox

68-38

Slugged his way to the top of the AL Central.  Will the pitching be good enough to keep him there?

2

4

Cubs

67-39

This team is as balanced as it gets.  Not a real weakness visible.

3

5

D’Backs

69-37

Taking advantage of the weak NL West.  Will he make a deal to strengthen that offense before the trade deadline?

6

6

BoSox

63-42

100+ year old, “The Rickey”, still leading the charge, however he’s got a hot team on his heals from north of the border.

8

7

Halos

59-46

Has a dog fight on its hands as the A’s have come charging back into contention.

Tigers

61-44

Lost ranking all season.  Could this be the beginning of the end?

9

D’Rays

61-45

If this team ever got a starting rotation it would be scary.

10

Athletics

54-48

Forget Next Season! This young team is making a statement that they are ready to step to the front of the AL West right now!

11

11

Jays

58-44

Is there a better 1-2-3 starting combination in the IBC?  Don’t bother to look…the answer is a definite NO!

10

12

Cards

58-47

Rumor has it……the players all went out and got drunk after the GM gave his concession speech.  Looks like another team building for next year.

15

13

Reds

51-54

That lineup is just plain awesome……Another “Power Rankings” favorite….

14

14

Royals

51-51

Barry….and …..and…….and, well it’s the Barry Bonds Show!

22

15

Phils

53-53

A little hot streak has the GM thinking “playoffs”….can this team get itself close enough to make its players believers too?

12

16

Phish

51-56

Looks like a real team is starting to form.  The new GM has brought in some nice bats and a few good arms……..he might be on to something  here!

21

17

Giants

51-55

Hanging around in 2^nd place……so you could say they’re the best of the rest in the NL West.

19

18

Stros

50-56

Had one GM tuck tail and run.  The new guy seems to be eager to accept the challenge of the NL Central!

18

19

Brew Crew

49-57

Still searching for that right combination.  At least they have the sausage races to keep the fans interested.

16

20

M’s

48-58

Slowly putting the pieces together.  Will Edgar still be around when this team is ready to compete? 

17

21

Dodgers

45-60

Brought in Slammin’ Sammy Sosa to lead the offense.  But will there be anyone on base for him to knock in?

23

22

Rocks

45-60

Took 2 of 3 from the Bucco’s with Terry Adams and Paul Wilson leading the way!  Who were those masked men?

20

23

O’s

44-60

An extremely young rotation, but that offense is starting to look a little more potent.

25

24

Pads

44-62

Looks like a team that could compete in 2003.   Just gotta find the missing ingredient.

26

25

Rangers

40-66

Welcome to Texas Mr. Zito!  Could be a contender in 2003.

24

26

Yanks

44-60

Snuck out of Houston just after mid-night.  Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to escape the wrath of the Texas Rangers.

Braves

No more Sammy, No more Big Unit, No more Vidro….but say HELLO to the Vladinator!

Indians

Losing the race to the winter Draft.

Twins

Just along for the ride in 2002 and looking to add a big bat in the draft.
