    no respect for athletics or pirates

    dbacks
    dodgers
    giants
    cardinals
    reds
    braves
    nationals
    yankees
    tigers
    whitesox
    rangers
    angels

    are only teams considered legit contenders by a popular online book

    i tend to think the athletics really are pretenders but im shocked the pirates are still getting no respect.

    confused about how the dbacks make that list..

    oakland?....oakland?!

    by the way i hope youre aware the cincinnati reds had the easiest post-all star break schedule of any team in the majors, i wouldnt expect them to keep up this hot streak.

    Oakland 4th best pitching, 3rd best bullpen. Hitting not the best, but red-hot right now and probably the most clutch hitting.

    Outside of this red hot July the A's are having, I believe they averaged 3.7 runs/game which was the worst in the majors and had the worst batting average as well. They will come back to Earth, no way in hell they are a top 5 team.

    Rodney Dangerfields of baseball! I like these teams they have heart and are fun to watch. Most important they don't use a bankroll to stockpile all-stars to try and buy a championship.
