The newest power pole is in on MLB.com, and despite the Mets current streak of 5 wins out of their last 7 games, they have dropped considerably on the rankings list. Last week the Mets were ranked 7 overall and they dropped all the way down to 14. Personally, I feel that the drop was a reaction to the Mets play the week before this past one. Anyway, they say for the Mets:
    "The closer the Carlos Clan -- Beltran and Delgado -- gets to the Mendoza Line, the closer the Mets seem to get to the Fab 15 cutoff line."
While the Mets have been dropping, the Phillies have been rising being the only other NL East team on the list. They jumped from 13 on the list all the way up to 8. MLB.com says:
    "Jimmy Rollins not playing, Ryan Howard not hitting -- and still got off to first winning April since 2003."
As anyone can guess, the Diamondbacks led the list, which can be found here.
The Mets are only the second team this year to take a series from the Dbacks, and as the preview will state later tonight, the Mets will have to play momentum stopper again tonight as they handle the Dodgers right after their first loss in 9 games.

I never take too much consideration in these polls. They are fun to read, but when it comes down to it, they are made ahead of time and do not reflect the actual momentum swing of the team. For example, the Rays were just swept and are quickly falling out of the lead in the AL East and they are currently at #7, but the week before when they were on a  tear, they were not ranked. So I expect the Mets to be much higher up on the list next week...not that I care or anything.
