    A Rare Feat

    They talk a lot about no-nos and perfect games, but to me, this is the crowning achievement in baseball.
    Hats off to Mr. Cabrera, the first Triple Crown Winner in 45 years.

    On Wednesday, Miguel Cabrera became the 16th major-league hitter to complete a Triple Crown and the first since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. Cabrera ended the 2012 campaign with a .330 batting average, 44 home runs and 139 RBI, leading the AL in all three categories. He lead the league in OPS, too, for what it's worth.
    4 more years!

    First it's the Giants, then it's the A's. Careful not to get any splinters in your ass, jumping from bandwagon to bandwagon.

    The A's made the playoffs? So I assume the Orioles missed out? Or was it the Rangers?

    2 wild cards...that's fun, unless you lose that one-off of course.

    ---Update---

    I'll take STL & TX to go through...somebody make a poll.

    That one game wild card thing is harsh but I guess it's the only way. No?

    I don't know if northern California can survive another S.F. vs. Oakland World Series!
