Miguel Cabrera
Posted by Mike Frohwirth I hate Predictions posts. First, I predict the most likely outcomes. Second, crazy random happenstances cause less likely outcomes to occur. Third, I am told that my predictions were "wrong." I'm "wrong" because some experts thought giving Derek Jeter a Gold Glove was a reasonable course of action? I'm "wrong" because […]

American League predictions AL East division winner – Red Sox AL Central division winner – Tigers AL West division winner – Athletics AL Wild Card team – Yankees AL MVP – Miguel Cabrera, Tigers AL Cy Young – Jon Lester, […]
Last night was a terrible loss, 10-0 if you will. Raul Valdes was creamed and Max Scherzer cruised his way to his 15th victory of the year. Losing their 7th straight game, the Phillies are now six games under .500 with three days left until the trade deadline. Losing the first two games of this […]
The Phillies have lost six straight games and everything is looking more likely that the Phillies will sell before Wednesday's trade deadline. Last night the Phillies were only able to manage an unearned run against Doug Fister, who held them in check over eight innings. Cole Hamels was solid, allowing two runs over seven innings […]
Cliff Lee looked excellent this afternoon against the Tigers in Clearwater. In two innings, Lee walked one and struck out two. He did not give up a hit. Tyler Cloyd followed with two shutout innings of his own, walking one and striking out one. In the bottom of the fourth inning, Ryan Howard brought home […]
Photo courtesy of Jack Kasten Day two of spring training games brought about quite a match-up, Roy Halladay vs. Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers. Doc had no problems in the first inning, dealing through Austin Jackson, Torii Hunter, and Miguel Cabrera perfectly. In the bottom of the second, Doc struck out Prince Fielder to […]
I hate writing about this, but it's Hunter Pence and he deserves to be recognized for this achievement – even if he didn't contribute that much until the actual World Series. The Giants held their World Series Championship parade today in downtown San Francisco. Millions turned out to see the second parade in three years […]

Miguel Cabrera is having one of the finest offensive seasons in recent Major League history, and is chasing an offensive Triple Crown, which means leading the league in batting average, home runs, and RBI, a feat not accomplished since Carl Yastremski in 1967 and only 15 times in Major League Baseball history. Would it be […]
This weekend wasn't delightful. Coming out of Pittsburgh with a 1-2 record and just six total runs scored over three games, things don't look so bright out of the gate. The offense is slumpish, but the rotation is gleaming. But it's only April 9th and there's still a long way to go. Don't be worried […]
