Top Ten
Rumors from the Commissioner's office is that they will release a new top ten list within the next few days that may also contain the top futility players of the league, with the new philosophy that if you shame those that are struggling, perhaps they will play better.

Week 8

Standings
The Giants and Padres both go 4 and 2 on the week and remain tied for first. This really is shaping more and more to be a two team race for the pennant as we move a quarter of the way through the season. Next week puts a toll on teams as they play 5 single game series. For some teams, like Boston, that means 3 trips across the country for a single game.

Padre Confessional
The first place Padres were paced by a hot Jake Peavy last week, but the question is will he be able to sustain such a pace since the catching corps have been taking a beating. With both catcher's injured at one point last week, the Padres had to resort to using Tony Graffanino as their catcher for half of a game. Read the full Confessional here.

Week 7

Standings
The Giants and Padres remain tied atop the league after both going 3-3 on the week. The Giants took 2 of three from the Padres to move into the tie for first after having lost 2 of three from Florida. Seattle and Boston move a game closer as both went 4-2 on the week as Boston swept Oakland in Boston, and Seattle took 2 of 3 from Minnesota and then 2 of 3 from Boston in Boston in a series that saw 2 of the 3 games go into extra innings making it 6 of 9 games between these two teams that have been decided in the 9th inning or later.
