Last week's ranking in parentheses

Team
1 Arizona (4) Diamondbacks leading the standings, but Padres ahead in superdelegates
2 Boston (1) Red Sox playing Yankees, ESPN goes into bliss overload
3 Angels (7) Trying to show they can win the division with two aces tied behind their back
4 Cubs (13) Proposed new name for Wrigley: The Fuko-Dome
5 Cleveland (2) C.C. might want to sign a multiyear extension while the Cy Young is still fresh
6 Yankees (6) Girardi is a tough disciplinarian, but draws the line at bamboo under the fingernails
7 Mets (5) Looks like Mets (3 HR in first 8 games) chose to fly, fly away on American Airlines
8 Dodgers (3) Nomar on his way back, but at this stage, Mia Hamm might help the Dodgers more
9 Milwaukee (12) Ryan Braun trying to avoid the sophomore jinx
10 Colorado (10) Todd Helton trying to avoid the fourth year of grad school jinx

12 White Sox (16) Guillen receives his ceremonial first fine of the new season from MLB
13 St. Louis (22) Lots of holes, but one Pujols, so they're still a team to reckon with
14 Philadelphia (15) Another MVP from the Phillies? That's Utley ridiculous!
15 Kansas City (19) Which is more amazing: huge highlights board, or actual K.C. highlights to show?
16 Detroit (9) The Tigers were supposed to be smokin', but only Leyland is — two packs a night
17 Seattle (11) Canceled promotion: Clay Bennett Soul-Patch Night (turns out he sold his soul)
18 Cincinnati (17) David Archuleta is the only youngster having a better season than Johnny Cueto
19 Oakland (26) Kudos to all those who had April 10 in the Rich Harden DL pool
20 Atlanta (14) In honor of nearby Masters, Braves made their outfield a 12 on the Stimp Meter
21 Minnesota (21) Now would be a good time to try to swing another deal with Sabean
22 Baltimore (28) Aubrey Huff clamoring for a pair of Dick Cheney's reflective sunglasses
23 Texas (27) C.J. Wilson is best-initialed Texas pitcher since R.A. Dickey
24 Florida (29) Turns out it wasn't a youth movement, it was a Ruth movement
25 Toronto (18) Where's Duane Ward when you really need him?
26 Tampa Bay (20) Rays reliever Al Reyes charged with his first blown tase of the season
27 San Francisco (30) Forget about Bonds; it's the Barry they still have (Zito) that will bring them down
28 Pittsburgh (23) A pretty good player I'm just waking up to: Nate McLouth
29 Houston (25) Well, Cecil Cooper wanted to manage in the worst way, and he is
30 Washington (24) Just trying to hold it together until Boonie arrives
