Dodgers #1 on ESPN Power Rankings

The Dodgers sit atop this week's ESPN MLB Power Rankings. Should we be terrified, or just continue not giving a damn about the Power Rankings?

(I love that they could barely muster enough words to fill a blurb.)

I now consider these power rankings the most useful tool to assess a team's relative strength throughout the season. This means everything!

There's not a big-bankroll team on that list, though. Inexact though it may be, it still makes me happy.

It's much the same as when on MLB Network Radio every morning they give the previous day's scoring updates. For eastern- and central-dwelling teams, there's a few paragraphs of copy per game. By the time they get to the Best Coast teams, it's more like "Dodgers scored more runs than their opponents. Now back to Yankees news."

I'm all for embracing it though. I find their bewilderment amusing.

Why wasn't TJax or JWeisman able to write a blurb for ESPN? Hmm.
