Here are my weekly power rankings, a day earlier than what the print subscribers are getting.

TEAM (last week)
1. Detroit (7) – Who knew the best team from the Motor City in May is not Pistons or Redwings but Tigers?
2. St. Louis (4) – No beating around the Busch, the Cardinals love playing in new home (18-7).
3. Chicago White Sox (1) – Guillen quote of the week: “If we played the way the Cubs played, there would be 2,000 people in the ballpark.”
4. Cincinnati (3) – Good to see ya: Griffey delivers two game-winning hits in first week back.
5. Boston (5) – J.T. Snow wants a trade? News to us that he has not already retired.
6. New York Mets (2) – Reality bites: Better Cardinals team took 2-of-3 from Mets.
7. San Diego (11) – Imagine how good they could be if they ever figured out how to win at Petco Park.
8. New York Yankees (6) – To think Carl Pavano, who’s still hurt, could have been Mariners’ problem.
9. Philadelphia (9) – Rookie pitcher Cole Hamels looks to have the right stuff.
10. Toronto (13) – So who is their “rival” know that the Expos are no more?
11. Arizona (10) – BoMel is doing swell with this bunch.
12. Colorado (8) – The Rockies have peaked and are headed back down the mountain.
13. Houston (12) – Maybe they need Roger Clemens more than originally thought.
14. Milwaukee (17) – A little salt in the wounds: Jeff Cirillo is hitting .361.
15. Oakland (14) – When it comes to interleague play, no one is better than A’s.
16. Atlanta (23) – Hold that obit; the Braves aren’t dead and buried yet.
17. Texas (15) – Bold prediction: If they land Clemens they’ll win the AL West.
18. Los Angeles Dodgers (16) ¬– Loser of “Freeway Series” must walk to stadium for a week.
19. San Francisco (20) – As tired as Bonds is we’re even more tired of him.
20. Cleveland Indians (18) – Much like last season, the Indians are digging themselves a deep hole.
21. Baltimore (26) – Seems like ancient history when this franchise won games because of its pitching and defense.
22. Chicago Cubs (19) – New TV show stars Dusty Baker as The Fall Guy.
23. Tampa Bay (25) – Cool rule: Fans allowed to bring food and beverages into Tropicana Field.
24. Los Angeles Angels (22) – Team’s Triple-A callups were more suspect than prospect.
25. Minnesota (21) – Brad Radke’s ERA – 7.20 – looks like a bad earthquake.
26. Seattle (24) – Earned all F’s playing against A’s.
27. Pittsburgh (29) – At least fans have All-Star Game on July 11 to look forward to.
28. Washington (27) – Like politician’s speech, ‘Battle of the Beltway’ matchup with Orioles sounds a lot better than it is.
29. Florida (30) – Fish tacos? Cancel that move to San Antonio, at least for now.
30. Kansas City – Do you think their fans took any satisfaction in having owner David Glass promise to make some changes?
