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.
**One added feature this week: a projected record for the end of the season. This is based on a team's RPI, as well as those of remaining opponents. **

Rank | Team | RPI | Current | Projected | Previous | Comment | |
 | 1 | Red Sox | .692 | 45-27 | 110-52 | 1 | Manny should do wonders for this struggling bunch. Now, if only he could learn to play first base... |
 | 2 | Y-----s | .686 | 47-28 | 110-52 | 2 | Perhaps it's a good thing the Y-----s have retaken first place. Maybe now George won't push so hard to acquire Cliff Floyd. |
 | 3 | Mariners | .676 | 46-28 | 108-54 | 3 | M's have fended off the Angels for now, but the A's are fast approaching in the rear view mirror. |
 | 4 | Angels | .612 | 43-29 | 97-65 | 4 | Methinks these Angels are about to become fallen angels. |
 | 5 | A's | .564 | 43-31 | 93-69 | 5 | Do you suppose the Sox could hire the A's to play their interleague games for them? They are an unreal 14-1 this year. |
 | 6 | Twins | .504 | 42-33 | 88-74 | 6 | Twins should be getting some pitching (Mays, Radke) back before long, but it's hitting they need. |
 | 7 | Orioles | .497 | 35-38 | 79-83 | 8 | An admirable job this week going 3-3 on the road against the D'Backs and Giants. |
 | 8 | White Sox | .477 | 36-39 | 82-80 | 7 | Now is their chance to gain ground on the Twins. Are they up to the task? |
 | 9 | Blue Jays | .427 | 30-42 | 68-94 | 9 | Yet another team that managed go 3-3 on the road against the NL West. |
 | 10 | Rangers | .427 | 32-41 | 66-96 | 11 | What's this? The Rangers get good pitching this week? Oh yeah, that's right - they were only playing the Cubs and Pirates. |
 | 11 | Indians | .395 | 35-40 | 69-93 | 10 | Injuns are powerless without the DH, scoring a mere 9 runs in 6 games. |
 | 12 | Royals | .335 | 26-46 | 58-104 | 12 | The anti-A's: The Royals are 3-12 in interleague play. |
 | 13 | Devil Rays | .321 | 24-49 | 50-112 | 13 | How bad have the Sox done in interleague play? The DRays' 5-10 record beats the Sox' 4-11. |
 | 14 | Tigers | .304 | 26-47 | 52-110 | 14 | Tigers' rookie LHP Mike Maroth averaging 7 IP in 3 starts, with a 2.18 ERA. Why can't the Sox develop young pitchers like that? |
