Triple Crown

Stunning that nobody has won the Triple Crown in the AL since 1967 and before that in the NL.  Yet, Miggy is right there.  As of now, he leads in all three categories, with two games remaining. 

And, if he isn't the MVP, it's a travesty and, like the Nobel Prize for Peace, should be discontinued.

I really enjoyed the Tigers' color man last week noting that Cabrera was in "a bit of a slump."  The was the night after he had a HR taken from him, drill a frozen rope to center field (getting there, I think, before he could drop his bat), and saw the third baseball dive to his right and grab a ball that had passed him to make the play at first.  So, with any modicum of luck, Cabrera could have had three more hits and this batting race would be over.  Yeah, "a bit of a slump." 

There was another piece of silliness that came from either the television or radio color guy, I forget which one, that I couldn't remember Sat eve to relate.  And, I still can't remember what it was, other than it was just plain silly.  The other night, unless the angle on the boob tube really skewed what we were watching, the Tigers' pitcher (I don't know which one it was) had a change-up that dipped and faded--if the tube was right, a whole lot.  The color guy said, "There's not much movement on that change," holding that the decreased velocity was getting the outs/swings and misses.  They should work on those camera angles??????

Go Miggy!
