The Phil Rogers Curse?

[Dave B]

Uh-oh:

Phil Rogers' MLB power rankings
By Phil Rogers, 5:02 p.m.

Last week's rankings in parentheses

1. Cubs (3): There's no truly dominant team in the majors these days, with Lou Piniella's team the third in three weeks to top these rankings (Boston led last week, Arizona two weeks ago). Alfonso Soriano's tear at the plate has helped push the Cubs' run differential to plus-71, the biggest in the majors. Ryan Dempster is showing signs of stepping into No. 2 starter's role, while Sean Gallagher's arrival underscores the pitching depth that is a subtle key.

I thought you meant he was on his period.

In second place was "The Fast Cash Option at the ATM."

Just in front of dipped Italian Beef.

[Waco Kid]

You betcha. Every time I read his crap I do nothing but curse.

[CT II]

Just in front of dipped Italian Beef.

Nothing should be in front of dipped Italian Beef.

I don't know. I always pictured CT's power rankings to go thusly:

1. Joe Kmak - retired backup catcher keeps getting better and better. And he was awesome to start with.
2. Jim Oberweis campaigns - for pure entertainment value, nothing on TV is better.
3. Dipped Italian Beef

Phil Rogers: arbiter of MLB dominance.

...the pitching depth that is a subtle key.

What an odd phrase.

3. Dipped Italian Beef

The undisputed #1 seed was the TV ad where he was talking about how many times you could fill Soldier Field with illegal immigrants.

Solid catching filled with immigrants up!?

I don't get it.

[PTanner]

Solider Fangen wird gefüllt mit Immigranten auf! = ALE-ESS-YEW!

[CT II]

Precisely.

Rather it said "Soldier Field is filled with illegal immigrants!" when I put it in English and translated it to German.
