MLB Power Rankings Week 19: Dog Days of Summer Have Arrived

This was not the most exciting week in baseball. Sure we almost had a no-hitter, but that’s an every week occurrence in 2010. Sure A-Rod finally hit 600, but all fans can think about is the impact of steroids on the total. No All-Star voting or trade rumors. No 11 consecutive hits or 17-inning games. The waiver wire deadline has provided little to teams.
The best teams are beginning to distance themselves and the bad teams (cough Cubs cough) are embarrassing themselves in the process of playing out the string. In the marathon that is the baseball season, we are bound to have a stretch like this one.
This week is shaping up to be much better. Several marquee match-ups kick-off this week. Reds vs Cardinals, White Sox vs Twins, Rangers vs. Yankees and Padres vs Giants are all on the slate.
Now the real pressure of being in a pennant race begins. Should be a great couple of days.
