As we head into the All-Star break, everyone agrees that the Tigers and White Sox are the two best teams in baseball. Everyone, that is, except the folks at TSN.ca who have the Twins as the #1 ranked team with nary an explanation. Sure the Twins are 8-2 in their last 10 but they are also 10 games out of first place in the AL Central and 9 games out of the wildcard standings. What are they doing up there in TSN?

I think we should expel TSN from the baseball — rankings….Blue Jays better than the Mets? And they wonder why Americans hate hockey.
