1. Chicago White Sox: Must be the fabric softener.
2. St. Louis Cardinals: Even though they lost one to the Rockies.
3. San Diego Padres: With a record breaking 22 wins in May.
4. Baltimore Orioles: Brian '20 game hitting streak' Roberts.
5. Minnesota Twins: Maybe it?s because they?re playing the Indians, or maybe it?s just because they?re good.
6. L.A. Angels: Scoring four runs in a single inning help the Angels stay alive against the dominating White Sox.
7. Texas Rangers: Alfonso Soriano and that guy, not the one who sings and sells roasted chickens.
8. Atlanta Braves: With a manager like Bobby Cox there isn?t much else that you need.
9. Arizona Diamondbacks: When Royce Clayton goes for a play, Royce Clayton makes a play.
10. Florida Marlins: Not losing Delgado and his Soviet nuke of an arm is definitely helping the Marlins hold a contending position, and of course Willis? 9-2 pitching.
11. Boston Red Sox: They ran into a wall, and so did Damon.
12. Toronto Blue Jays: Blue Jays vs. Oakland A?s, that?s why.
13. Chicago Cubs: Sheer determination and maybe some unexpected ability won them 6 in a row.
14. NY Mets: Some young ones and some older ones make this team one to look out for.
15. NY Yankees: Lose to the Royals?!
16. Washington Nationals: New location and good pitching are giving the team just what they needed.
17. LA Dodgers: Yup, back to .500. Where?s Koufax when you need him, or even Fernando for that matter.
18. Philadelphia Phillies: Don?t count on them, they?re just a tease.
19. Detroit Tigers: Stopping the hot Rangers finally put one in Urbina?s win column.
20. Milwaukee Brewers: At least they have a nice stadium.
21. Cleveland Indians: Hunter and his five hits split a four gamer with the Twins.
22. Pittsburg Pirates: If anything they make Willis and the Marlins feel better about themselves.
23. San Francisco Giants: This is what you get when Bond?s isn?t playing.
24. Seattle Mariners: Aside from Meche this seems to be a basic AAA team.
25. Cincinnati Reds: Remember when Ken Griffey Jr.?
26. Oakland A?s: Isn?t this the team that used MC Hammer as a batboy?
27. Houston Astros?: Should be called the Houston Roger Clemens.
28. Tampa Bay Devil Rays: If you?re already in Tampa Bay, it?s cheaper to just go to the beach.
29. Colorado Rockies: Losing ten of thirteen does things like this to you.
30. Kansas City Royals: They beat the Yankees, it?s alright if they?re in last.
