Rankings/List

There are some players in the game today who flat out don't like each other; players who take rivalries further than most.

In real life, if you buy a product that doesn't do what it's supposed to, you can return it. If you purchase a blender that doesn't mix food, or a lawnmower that doesn't cut grass, you can usually get a refund or exchange it for one that works.

Baseball teams don't have that luxury.

WhatIfSports.com utilizes its award-winning baseball simulation engine to present the most comprehensive and unbiased ranking possible of all 30 teams in baseball each Monday during the regular season.

One old baseball adage states, "Speed slows down the game," a quote likely coming from Casey Stengel or Yogi Berra.

On the surface, this statement makes no sense. But when you dig deeper, you gauge that when fast players get on base, the entire game changes. From throwing over to first base, to the pitcher stepping off the rubber, a once ncrisp moving game can get stalled as the pitcher and defense woorries about the speedy runner.

Funny thing is that the runner by himself can't hurt the pitcher, unless he steals second, third and home.

Week Seven didn't have any perfect games or A-Rod controversies, but it did feature a new unlikely first place team. The Cincinnati Reds are in the first place after taking two-of-three from St. Louis. A team that ranks 11th in the N.L. in batting average and 13th in ERA is some how getting it done.

The Rays and Phillies keep rolling, while the Royals win the office pool for first team to hit the panic button by firing their manager. Surely there will be more to come...who's next?

David Ortiz may be starting to turn a corner, as he's hit safely in his last six games and driven in 11 runs over his last nine.

Yogi Berra is synonymous with hilarious, sometimes head scratching, quotes, and he was among the most quotable athletes of all-time.

Today, we have colorful White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen to turn to if we want an entertaining tirade, or an inappropriate slur of some sort.

He may be rude, and certainly doesn't have a filter of any sort, but he always speaks his mind, and that has left us with quite an array of hilarious quotes.

We are almost a quarter of the way through the Major League Baseball season. It's been one of the strangest beginnings to a season regarding teams that are in the race and not.

The Tampa Bay Rays currently have the best record in all of baseball, but there are some surprise teams out there—none more surprising than the San Diego Padres who entered the season with a lot of questions to their lineup.

So now it's time, as we enter the second part of the season, to analyze the top 10 teams in baseball.

Throwing out the first pitch at a baseball game is a tradition that extends to the old days.

Presidents, movie stars, athletes from other sports, politicians, Broadway actors/actresses, singers, etc have all had the honor to be a part of the opening ceremony at a baseball game.

There have been excellent throws that have led people to wonder whether this person could have had a baseball career and there are those that should quit whatever career they hold after embarrassing themselves in front of thousands of people.
