A pair of unexpected names posted the best numbers in the American League this week.

The Angels dominate the awards because they scored a lot of runs. Also, the Cardinals score a lot of runs when they strike out at an excessive rate and get shut down when they put the ball in play, or at least they do in a two game sample from this week.

A busy week in Denver makes for a busy week in the awards.

Paul Konerko takes a break from his regularly scheduled nice, but overlooked season to go crazy for a week.

How do enter a game with a two run lead, get charged with three runs in an inning of work, and still get a hold? Josh Outman demonstrated exactly how you do that.

Two outfielders dominate pitchers while two MVP caliber first basemen stumble.

John references the Big Lebowski, cites a lot of Coors Field games, and alludes to the dependability of Alex Rios.

John explains what he has against Alfonso Soriano.

The Rangers can hit a little bit. Also, Felix has a good start wasted. Stop me if you’ve heard any of this before.

The staggered opening days of 2012 leave a backlog of silly pitching decisions to point out. Also, refreshing our memories on what the awards represent.
