No mention of the Triple Crown? I know in this sabremetric era, RBIs aren't supposed to count for anything and OBP is more important that batting average, but come on! Nobody has won all three categories in 45 years!!

Congratulations to Miguel Cabrera. This has to get the MVP, right? I know they like to talk about Ted Williams winning it twice and not getting the MVP, but look who he lost to. (Although one of those times, a NYC writer left Williams completely off his ballot, which was indefensible. He was just trying to rig the voting for DiMaggio, and it worked.)

And while it pains me to see somebody overtake a Red Sox legend in the record books, at least I can think about Yaz's great '67 season and the Impossible Dream team, instead of this year's pathetic excuse for a team.

Yaz carried the Sox after Tony Conigliaro got his face smashed in by a pitch. He went seven for eight the last weekend of the season to help the Sox win the pennant. He didn't realize that he had won the Tripe Crown until someone told him the next day. I was hoping that either I would die, or Yastrzemski would die, before someone won the Triple Crown again, but, hey, records are made to be broken, and Cabrera had a hell of a year. I tip my Red Sox cap to him.

The only thing better than the Sox season actually being over is that there is playoff baseball this afternoon! I'm actually looking forward to these 1-game play-ins. I think it'll be fun!

Things are NOT looking too good!

Age and experience are beating youth and enthusiasm so far!
