4. New York Mets

Record: 19-11, Last Week: No. 2, The Breakdown: Everyone else go home, we have hit the apex of sports. Bartolo Colon hit a home run. We can only go down from here. The 42-year-old pitcher connected on the first home run of his career to lead the Mets to a 6-3 victory at San Diego on Saturday night, snapping a two-game skid and sparking a media blitz that we hope never dies down. Seriously. If you want to see happiness, just watch the New York dugout reaction after Colon starts trotting around the bases. Also, and perhaps more importantly in the realm of power rankings news, it wasn't a particularly bad week for the Mets. Sure, New York dropped it first two at San Diego, but the Mets won the series with the Braves, holding pace in the NL East standings. (Getty)
