The First Weekly MLB Power Poll

As I stated in my post yesterday, the All-Star picks and Power Poll will become a weekly staple of the "Fanatic" blog. Following this week, the picks and poll (yes, I know I promised that I woud think of something better than "Power Poll", but well, I didn't, so sorry) will be posted on Mondays in the same post.

Just to add a brief note about the last week in baseball, my Mets are starting to scare me a little. The team has won 3 of their last 15 games, and has played miserably overall, save the 3-0 gem in the first game against the Yankees on Friday. The scari-ER part of the whole thing- they're still in first place. I'd like to thank the Braves, Marlins, Phillies, and Nationals for that. We couldn't have done it without you. That being said, the Number 1 team this week is the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Congratulations.
