MLB POWER Rankings August 2k14 in "WORD Around the WARNING TRACK" It's a West Coast Thing as DODGER Blue and the Swingin' ELEPHANTS are the "Toast of the Show" as we play August Hardball...Can the O's and Motor City KITTIES hang on to Division Leads?...HALOS riding Shotgun in the AL West...GIGANTES and BEER Makers need a Life Line...and NATS and CHOP SHOP going for an October Photo Finish! #MLBPowerRankingAugust2K14

The Oakland Athletics haven't skipped a a beat as they were #1 in the Power Rankings in July as they are being followed closely by Rally Monkey Hardball...the Halos. The L.A. Dodgers the best W-L on the Senior Circuit is following Clayton Kershaw's Lead as he is Sandy Koufax!

The Brew Crew has three teams chasing them in the NL Central as they feel they are in a Traffic Jam with nowhere to go..and hide! The Nats and Braves have Fish Company and the NL East Race is headed for a Photo Finish.

The O's Starting Pitching has been solid as they try to run away from the all of a sudden blazin' Blue Birds and pesky Yankees who will not go to the AL East Basement with the Carmines! The Rays have joined the Party out of nowhere but now they have no David Price...stay tuned!

The Gigantes need a Life Line or Raft as they are the "Titanic" in the NL West. The Motor City Kitties playing "Possum" in the AL Central...bring it home boys and quit playing as they add David Price to Mad Max and Verlander...that's not fair Mr. Selig!

360 Degrees...

The tightest races are in the NL Central as 5.5 games separates the Leader (Brewers) from the 4th Team in the Division the Red Legs.

The Detroit Tigers might take off after the recent acquisition of LHP David Price giving them three former AL CY Young Winners...they lead the Central by 4 games over the Royals!

The Halos are arguably the 2nd best Team in the Show and in the Power Rankings only the Friars (Padres) are the only team in California with a losing record...

The Tampa Bay Rays are the hottest Team in the Show in the last 30 games but they have more work to do to get into the mix in the AL East back 8.5 games...
