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 | .707 | 43-23 | 2 | Please, dear God! Make it stop! (Interleague play, that is.) |
 | 2 | Y-----s | .692 | 43-26 | 1 | "I think they need to worry about more things than a beanball war the way they're playing." - Steve Karsay. Apparently, Estes, Piazza and Mo heard you, Steve. |
 | 3 | Mariners | .648 | 41-27 | 3 | Hey Lou Pinella, do you know where your players are? Eugene Kingsale gets waived by the M's and picked up by the Pads. Lou doesn't find out until he sees Kingsale on the Pads' bench. |
 | 4 | Angels | .609 | 39-27 | 4 | Angels blow a chance to take over first place. Will the M's give them another chance? |
 | 5 | A's | .534 | 37-31 | 7 | A's demolishing NL opponents (8-1) - too bad they have to go back to playing AL West teams. |
 | 6 | Twins | .509 | 39-30 | 5 | It figures - the Twins, with the easiest schedule in the league, get to play the Brewers twice in interleague play. |
 | 7 | White Sox | .502 | 34-35 | 6 | Awww - the Big Hurt got his feelings hurt when Manuel played Konerko instead of him at first at Wrigley. Hey Frank, get a clue! You're a DH! |
 | 8 | Orioles | .495 | 32-35 | 8 | O's have the magic touch with pitchers this year, as they throw a 30 year old minor league free agent into the rotation, and get a 4-0 record. |
 | 9 | Blue Jays | .417 | 27-39 | 9 | Power outage in Canada: Blue Jays averaging only 3.4 runs scored in last 8 games. |
 | 10 | Indians | .414 | 34-35 | 10 | Indians, desperate for more starters, hire researchers to try to clone Colon. |
 | 11 | Rangers | .406 | 27-40 | 11 | Two more Rangers players join the ranks of those hitting better than Carl, pitchers Dave Burba (.500) and Kenny Rogers (1.000, with a BB and a SB.) |
 | 12 | Royals | .351 | 25-41 | 12 | Was there a worse offseason acquisition than Chuck Knoblauch (.167/.241/.253)? |
 | 13 | Devil Rays | .341 | 23-44 | 13 | How's this - the Devil Rays and Marlins play the "I Quit" Series. Loser gets contracted. |
 | 14 | Tigers | .303 | 24-43 | 14 | 3-3 this week, including a defeat of Curt Schilling. Not bad (for a change). |
