Owl’s Power Rankings-July

He's Back. He never sleeps.

1. Texas- Rangers still the team to chase but can’t
have a lapse.

2. Minnesota- Twins made a move and should the whole
season

3. Philadelphia- Losing Frank Robinson really shows
his value.

4. Pittsburgh- It’s finally coming together.

5. Seattle- still chasing Texas but they won’t go
away.

6. Oakland- In the middle of the Playoff race where
they can’t afford to lose.

7. Florida- Pushing the Phillies in the NL East

8. San Francisco- Giants hanging tough.

9. Dodgers- Making annual playoff run

10. Chicago (A)- still in the hunt. Don’t think they
will go away

11. Milwaukee- Another surprise team that can make the
playoffs

12. Boston- Just needs the hitting to be consistent

13. Cleveland- Pitching staff struggling

14. New York Yankees- Reggie and Orlando keep this
team in it.

15. Montreal- Team spinning it’s wheels. Will they
get traction?

16. Cincinnati-Pitching needs to come around

17. Houston- Roller coaster season so far.

18. Detroit- still close enough to win the AL East

19. St. Louis- injuries have been a factor in this
down year.

20. Colorado- 8 game losing streak will be tough to
overcome. There’s still time

21. Baltimore- recent winning streak due to pitching.

22. New York Mets- Improved play offers help.

23. Chicago (N)- Pitcher Jim Slaton needs some help

24. Atlanta- The rebuilding effort has begun

25. Anaheim- Bender is the real deal. Angels showing
signs of life

26. Kansas City- they still have Clemens and that’s
good foundation.

27. San Diego- 1B Greg Brock is having a good season
but the young Pitchers aren’t ready

28. Toronto- Pitching in a dome is tough. Ask any
Blue Jay pitcher.

...Speaks as Mets manager Rogers Hornsby...
Reads the latest power ranking posted, and spits, then takes it and crumbles to a ball, and then I think...wait...

Takes out a thumb tack and puts in on the entry to the locker room where all my boys can see it....(thinks to self, these guys really do suck, but maybe this will make them become something like a ballplayer) then adds a note:
"You play Colorado, and they are struggling, and the F***ing Padres this week, and you're at home" Unless you win BOTH of these, that Owl is right...play like ballplayers, not sissies in dresses.

Rogers Hornsby
Mets Manager and someone who knew how to play the game.

BTW...in 1961 Hornsby was signed by Weiss to be a Mets scout...his reports were not too kind, and here's, one of them.
"Looks something like a major leaguer"
