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 |
| 11 | San Diego (8) | Hoffman's response to critics: "I'm a man! I'm 40!" |
| 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 |
