A transitional season isn’t necessarily an uninteresting season

This column was an honest attempt to put a bow on the 2010 season; Carlos Lee swung at it and grounded the bow weakly to second for the out. That’s how he rolls.

When your offense scores fewer runs than any team in nearly 40 years, you are going to lose some games you probably shouldn’t.

The last week of the season gives us some 1-0 games and a bumper crop of empty batting averages.

The most mentioned player in this week’s awards is a middle reliever for the Marlins.

A pair of NL West hurlers had horrific hard-luck starts.

We have fun comparing Carlos Lee’s week to that of superior players.

Wilson Betemit experimented with the concept of never hitting singles. It actually worked out fairly well.

Miguel Cabrera is good at hitting a round ball with a cylindrical piece of wood.

A.J. Burnett takes a tough loss when Bryan Bullington has his best day ever.
