Live from Southern California, this is the Jim Rome show.

I want to start off the top by getting to something that I meant to get to yesterday,

and I touched on it, and I teased it, but I never fully flushed it out.

So what I want to say off the very top on this Tuesday,

it's time to throw some credit where credit is due.

It is time to give the actual deserving team the top billing,

and make sure with baseball.

And I want to lead with a team that's actually earning it, earning that attention

on the field. Wisco fan, I know you know exactly where I'm going with this. Wiscoe fan. I know

exactly what you're thinking because I know the only thing that you're all thinking about right

now is your beloved brew crew. Oh, and Jordan loves

digit, but mostly the brew crew, aka the best team in baseball, and it's not even close. They are.

They're not the hottest team. They're the best team. They're actually both, but by a mile.

And that's not an opinion, and that's not lava. That is just the scoreboard talking.

Standings look up at them and see that team running away from the pack, leading all major league

baseball by five games. A five game lead on the entire field.

I'm not saying they lead their division by five games. They don't lead the National League by

five games. They lead everybody by five games. Now, it helps that they just ran off 10 in a row.

It helps that they run off 25 of their last 29.

25 of 29 games.

And maybe even more impressive, they're 49 and 16 in their last 65 games.

So that's not even a heater anymore.
