The Phil Rogers Curse?
« on: May 19, 2008, 07:56:34 AM »
Uh-oh:

Phil Rogers' MLB power rankings
By Phil Rogers, 5:02 p.m.

Last week's rankings in parentheses

1. Cubs (3): There's no truly dominant team in the majors these days, with Lou Piniella's team the third in three weeks to top these rankings (Boston led last week, Arizona two weeks ago). Alfonso Soriano's tear at the plate has helped push the Cubs' run differential to plus-71, the biggest in the majors. Ryan Dempster is showing signs of stepping into No. 2 starter's role, while Sean Gallagher's arrival underscores the pitching depth that is a subtle key.

I don't know. I always pictured CT's power rankings to go thusly:

Quote1. Joe Kmak - retired backup catcher keeps getting better and better. And he was awesome to start with.
2. Jim Oberweis campaigns - for pure entertainment value, nothing on TV is better.
3. Dipped Italian Beef

The undisputed #1 seed was the TV ad where he was talking about how many times you could fill Soldier Field with illegal immigrants.

Precisely.

Rather it said "Soldier Field is filled with illegal immigrants!" when I put it in English and translated it to German.
