SURFRAT is a power rankings report done by one of our regular posters (from San Diego) on the message board BosoxBob. This report will be updated at BosoxBob's leisure, as the title explains, updates will be sporadic.
An explanation of how the rankings are calculated can be found at the bottom of this page.

Rank | Team | RPI | Record | Previous | Comment |
1 | Red Sox | .751 | 37-16 | 1 | The Road Warriors clothesline and bodyslam their way through the competition yet again. |
2 | Y-----s | .739 | 37-20 | 2 | Running out of excuses, now that they can't use "We've had injuries and they haven't," "They've had a weak schedule," and "Wait 'til they play us at home" anymore. |
3 | Mariners | .692 | 35-20 | 3 | M's Sweep! (Home plate, that is.) |
4 | Angels | .644 | 31-22 | 4 | Their prayers are being answered in the form of mediocre play by the M's - if only they could take care of their own business. |
5 | White Sox | .521 | 28-28 | 5 | Chisox go 0 for the week and blow a big chance to gain ground on the Twins. |
6 | Orioles | .508 | 25-29 | 7 | O's continue their solid performance against the West's best, but manage to choke away a possible sweep of the M's. I guess some things never change. |
7 | Twins | .508 | 32-25 | 6 | Radke sets a new record for shortest time between trips to the DL. Next time out, he'll probably hurt himself tripping over the first base line on his way to the mound. |
8 | A's | .484 | 27-28 | 8 | Adam Piatt (1.214 OPS) looking to help A's fans forget about Giambi - Jeremy, that is. |
9 | Indians | .444 | 28-28 | 10 | Working to get back into the AL Central race. Y-----s - don't start making plans for Colon just yet. |
10 | Rangers | .435 | 23-31 | 9 | Pendulum starting to swing back the other way on the Oliver-Everett trade. |
11 | Blue Jays | .405 | 20-33 | 12 | Sweep a series, fire the manager. Boy, Canadians are a strange bunch, eh? |
12 | Royals | .402 | 21-32 | 11 | Not much happening in KC - isn't it about time for Allard Baird to make one of his infamous bad trades? |
13 | Tigers | .330 | 20-34 | 13 | Now roll over and play dead…good Tigers! |
14 | Devil Rays | .327 | 18-36 | 14 | Existential question of the week: If the DRays get contracted, will anyone notice? |
