MLB Power Rankings
#1: Chicago Cubs (Last Week: 8)

You read it right. We have a new club at the top of the Power Rankings. The trendy preseason pick of a lot of wannabe PRs out there, the Cubs are finally starting to put things together. Their run differential is obscene (plus-68). Alfonso Soriano is raking (.339, 1.010 OPS since his return). And last weekend, the Cubs swept Arizona, our former No. 1. So, really, I had to put them here to avoid all the angry e-mail from North Siders.
