As we said when we were #17. These things are useless.

Thats very surprising to see them jump that far...Esp above the Red Sawks and Yankmees...Most people stroke to pick them...most important thing is though where the Sox are by late July and August to me... these polls not mean a whole hell of a lot....

Agreed. I was just surprised to see that big of a jump. Especially after 7 games.

That is quite a stunner. You'd think that they'd give the BoSox and the Yanks a free pass cuz they were playing each other so much.

As the new Advertising Campaign says.. The only thing that matters is the

 

 

W

It's all about the W's. That's really all that matters.

That's a pretty shocking jump. ESPN would never put us as high as #2 this early in the season. Maybe if we won the series they would.

This list is officially a piece of s***. If it had any integrity at all, a team couldn't go from 17 to 2 within the first week of the season. if the Royals had our record, would anyone consider them #2? No.

About the thread title, where is that quote from? I keep hearing all these references to number "(blank)" with a bullet.

I believe it comes from radio. It refers to a song climbing the charts (becoming more popular).

I wouldn't read a lot into this "respect" from CBS Sportsline.

 

 

The Braves, White Sox and Blue Jays are leading baseball right now, but only the Braves figure to stay atop the charts.

:rolly

The Weekly Top 40 show right? I can't remember who the original host of it was.

yeah, they still managed to take a shot at us...f*** them

I haven't looked at it yet but I'm guessing the Braves are #1 right now since they also have a 5-2 record. But jumping half the league surprises me too. This is baseball and it's only been one week. That'd be like winning 1 game in football and jumping half the league.

LOL Wasn't expecting that, the Sox coulda blown every team out and be 20-0 and I would've never guessed us to be that high.

 

Doesn't matter though, all that does is "Just Keep Wining"

I don't know exactly. I've heard that saying for as long as I can remember. Casey Kasem might indeed be the originator.

I believe the expression came from Billboard magazine.

I wouldn't doubt that either. Considering Billboard was (is?) the main source for record sales (charts) information for many years. I think I read they dropped the charts a few years ago, but my memory can be faulty from time to time.

Wow even ESPN has us at #4 up from #22. I for one am shocked and appalled. How are we supposed to fly under the radar if everyone is ranking us so high?

Make a banner that has Dimitri Young's statement about the division being decided between Detroit and Cleveland, and hang it up on the ESPN studio set.

 

Anyways, it's clearly obvious that the Sox have been playing among the most complete games thus far, so they deserve to be where they are...

19. Chicago Cubs: Aramis Ramirez and Jerry Hairston are already questioning Dusty Baker. Translation: Never doubt Steve Stone.

 

 

 

hehe

Steve Stone could probably manage 5~10 more wins out of the Cubs than Dusty. Too bad he's not a "Player's Manager".
