The teams in bold are new to the top ten and haven't seen it in 30 years this side of NCAA 2008 on the ol' PS2, PS3, X-Box, whatever...

In other news...
Your 2007 NL Central Champion Chicago Cubs will be playing your 2007 NL West Champion Arizona Diamondbacks (WTF is that picture all about?) in a best of 5 set. Baseball uses a 2-2-1 format in the Division series'.
Good news: In the six games the two teams played, the Cubs had the better ERA, average and outscored the Diamondbacks 19-18*
Bad news: The D'Backs took 4 of 6.
I think the Cubs have what it takes. With Zambrano pitching game one and probably five if necessary, Lilly going in game two, and a lineup that TORE THROUGH September, I think they'll take it in 4. We'll see...
*author's note: Revised, I had my runs off by -1 a piece. I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken...
