Race for the Bottom!

September means baseball pennant fever, so I think it's time to draw everyone's attention to a truly PH4h-worthy race- the race for the #1 draft pick. Baseball America is tracking this "race" as teams jockey to see who will have the chance to draft first in next year's amateur draft. The prize? Vanderbilt's 3B Pedro Alvarez is considered to be a super-prospect. As of yesterday morning, the Devil Rays were just ahead of the Marlins and White Sox for the lead, with the Orioles, Astros, Royals, and Pirates closing in fast. Who will have the most losses? Stay tuned!

At least the Cubs are good for something ... hurting the Astros' hopes of getting that No. 1 pick. Not that it's any surprise that the Cubs should blow a 4-1 lead and lose in extra innings to a mediocre team now that the pennant race is heating up.
