Phat Albert isn't impressed. Hamilton only got 8 RBIs, Pooholes has 9... (okay, maybe that was 8 in one night vs. APs 9 this season...).

I'm really happy for him. After his relapse during the off-season, I was concerned about him. However, he is playing like a guy who is in a contract year.

CF, oppo, (double to RF gap), CF, CF.  That's impressive.

Hamilton would have to go 0 for 210 to drop to Pujols' current SLG.

None.  You can't drive with your doors open that wide.

Eight homers in his last 18 at bats. Mark Whiten never did that. What a dick.

Dude is fucking unconscious right now. He's playing the contract deal a bit coy too right now. However, a good man has to know his limitations. At his age and with his history, he should be thinking about the long haul in his life rather than trying to break the bank. he'll get enough to be more than comfortable for the rest of his life if he plays it smart.

Insane. Amazing. Even George Springer is impressed (http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120511&content_id=31007524&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_milb)...

George Springer had 4 consecutive home runs yesterday (I'm sure that's been reported elsewhere on the site).

Or about 15 hours, depending on how Cabrera looks at it...

Henceforth May 11 shall be forever more known as "Springer Day".
