A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report #6....April 2012 Power Rankings...Are you on the RUN?....the TEXAS RANGERS are looking for you as are the BOYS in BLUE of DODGERtown USA.

The first of many in the Cup of Joe in the Show Report Power Rankings not done by Senior Circuit and Junior Circuit but by both combined to give you the overall picture of who might get into the 2012 Fall Classic.

There have been some surprises like the Boys on the Potomac in D.C. coming out the gate at 12-4. The Pale Hose of the South Side of the 'GO at a surprising 9-6 after losing a couple of their leaders.

Then the Clubs playing below the .500 clip like the Carmines of Fenway Park, the Fightin' Phils, and the Halos. It looks like Cash can buy you a lot of things but it won't but you a move to the top and you know who you are.

The 1st Installment of the CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report Power Rankings...April Edition sponsored by Bobby V get you some of that good Boston Clam Chowder and keep the Boston Press out on the Clubhouse....WANNA GET AWAY....like Bristol MLB Studios:

Only the Top 10 Teams......

1. RANGERS 13-3 : They have everything in place.....Skip Wash....Big Time Players like Kinsler, Hamilton, and Cruz....and they have solid Pitching and Defense. The Favs were the Halos from Jump Street and they are still in the Basement grabbing Lumber and Mitts.

2. BOYS in BLUE Chavez Ravine Edition 12-4: Give the NL MVP to Mr. Kemp and no need to send the collector so he can keep it at his house and make it dirty....Yeah Right. They have a #1 in Kershaw and every ones #2 in Billingsley and Kemp has a Partner in Crime in Ethier....Congrats Magic Johnson and your new ownership.      

3. REDBIRDS 11-5: No Gateway Arch Hammer Big AL....and 11-5 to boot. They also play in the least toughest Division in the NL..the Central. They have a Blue-Collar approach and they play D and their Pitching is Solid....C'mon Bucs, Red Legs, and Brew Crew.

4. NATS 12-4: The Washington Nationals are 12-4 and they have an Identity, Fans coming out to the Park, and their Pitching is really good. The have Vet leaders in Zimmerman and LaRoche and Strasburg is looking like a #1 and I know its early.

5. TIGERS 10-6: Four names....Cabrera, Fielder, Verlander, and Leyland.....any questions, comments, or concerns.

6. BRAVES 10-6: Chipper Jones is still playing and RF Jason Heyward and 1B Freddie Freeman anchor the Braves Hitting. They will be in it because of September 2011 Swoon and they have a nice mix of youth and Vets.

7. BRONX BOMBERS 9-6: C.C. Sabathia then what in that Starting Rotation. The Bombers will hit and they will be in the race all season because if their close they go get what they need at the Trade Deadline. Cashman has a lot of Bread under the mattress....trust me. New Yankees Stadium should be called the Big STASH HOUSE with all that DINERO they have.

8. BLUE JAYS 9-6: OK the Jays have Jose Bautista in their lineup and they have Francisco Cordero closing shop and then they have what?....Someone name a few of their other players. These are the teams that are dangerous because they are playing for themselves...everyone in that clubhouse...with no pressure.

9. PALE HOSE 9-6: Paulie is still manning first base and they have a Ex-Sox great Robin Ventura (the NCAA Baseball Decade Player of the Year at Oklahoma State in the 80s)  as their Skip and GM Kenny Williams has one less job now that Guillen is running his Yap in 305. They have young talent mixed in with the aforementioned Paulie Konerko, Adam Dunn, and AJ Pierzynski. If they take on the demeanor of their skip they will battle until they turn the lights off in October.

10. RAYS 9-7: Skip Joe Madden has all that Pitching behind him and Stars in 3B Evan Longoria and CF BJ Upton. They are one of the few teams that relish the OPS they get to battle the Bombers and Carmines like the Halos and Rangers. They will be at the top of the Power poll all season because they have been there time and time again the last few seasons.

Teams that needs to join the CARMINES in taking SUDS out the Clubhouse for now as well as all Game Systems....like the PS3 and Xbox....and the Ping Pong Tables, Black Jack Tables and what ever else is in that Sacred Place in the Show:

CARMINES of course 4-10
TWIN-kies 5-11
HALOS 6-10

Fightin' PHILS 7-9
FISH 305 7-8
GIGANTES 7-7 (losing Closer B. Wilson was huge and they may not recover)
