Giants News: San Francisco Giants to #1 in ESPN power rankings

In today's Giants news update, the San Francisco Giants are finally getting recognized by the national media as the best team going in baseball today.

ESPN.com just released its power rankings for Week 11 of the 2014 MLB season, and lo and behold the Giants have surpassed their Bay Area rivals, the Oakland Athletics, as the number one team in Major League Baseball.

Here's the quote from Andrew Tweedy of West Coast Bias used to explain the team's ascent to the top of the baseball world's ladder:

After taking two of three from the Cubs and three of four from the Cardinals, the Giants continue to boast the best record in baseball at 37-20. They finished May with a record of 19-9 and lost only one series during the entire month. With seven scoreless innings Sunday, Tim Hudson now has the second-best ERA in the National League at 1.75.

Regardless of whether or not they get the recognition or not, if the Giants keep playing this way, their results will speak for themselves.
