Boston Red Sox 7 (0) Red Sox 0-3 Hey, at least they finished the weekend with one more strikeout than home runs given up. The pitching can only get better
(Troy Patterson: Fire Brand of the American League).
Toronto Blue Jays 8 (0) Blue Jays 2-1 The early home runs from Jose Bautista are nice, but three walks in three games -- including one in a big spot Sunday against Joe Nathan -- suggests a player whose new contract and leadership role haven't changed the patient approach he needs to succeed

Power rankings tend to be a mixture of expected performance + actual performance early in the year, so it makes sense that they didn't panic and drop 'em to the bottom of the league.

Well said, which means 8th will likely be the highest we get unless we sweep the A's.
