Triple Crown Chase
Miguel Cabrera goes 2 for 4 with a walk tonight to raise his batting average to .349 and pass Derrek Lee for the batting average lead in the National League. Lee is now out of the top spot in all three categories.
Based on their careers, Albert Pujols probably has a higher probability of winning the triple crown this season. He's 2nd in RBI and 4th in home runs, and his current numbers are pretty much in line with his career. We might expect Derrek Lee to revert to his mean.

Mike Lowell pulled off the hidden ball trick in the 8th inning. I hadn't seen that play in years. I don't know why teams don't try it more.
The Red Sox could win the team Triple Crown with Damon getting the league batting title and Manny getting both the HR and RBI crowns.
When's the last time that happened?
What's the ceiling on Miguel Cabrera? Yikes.
