In elementary school (a place I call home), kids learn two very important symbols. Greater than is represented by > and less than is represented by <. We tell the children to think of the symbols as alligators, and alligators always want to eat the biggest number. Gluttony is also taught in elementary school. Let's take these two symbols and play a little game.
Dirty Dirks batting 2nd > Donnie Kelly batting 2nd
Vmart's batting average after the All Star Break > Princey Pie's average after the All Star Break
Vmart's first half batting average < Vmart's second half batting average
Pena's aggressive helmet throw > Avila always getting hit by foul tips
Smokes as a manager > Lamont as a manager
Muting the television > Listening to any commentator talk about baseball instant replay
Miguel Cabrera healthy > All other players in the league and half the players in the Hall of Fame
Miguel Cabrera with a sore hip/abdomen > All other players in the league
Miguel Cabrera with a sore hip/abdomen and a bruise on his shin > All other players in the league
Miguel Cabrera with a sore hip/abdomen, a bruise on his shin, and a sore knee > All other players in the league except possibly when legging out a possible triple
In summation, Miguel Cabrera is ridiculous. He currently has the agility of Gene Lamont, yet still manages to hit the living daylights out of the ball and play third base consistently. His only weakness? I'm thinking kryptonite.
