Wilson getting things done on the mound, and Hamilton, Kinsler, and Cruz at the plate, might this be the year the Rangers add a 2nd win to their postseason journal?  Or is it just the year you buy a book about batting stances?  Either way, it's the 2010 Rangers.

]]> Ahh, Oakland Coliseum.  Sports beacon of northern California, and, as BSG notes, soon to be the last multi-team outdoor stadium in the U.S.  It’s also Billy Beane’s personal baseball petri dish, where each year he gets to puts theory to practice with the Oakland A’s.  BSG takes a look at this year’s concoction with his 2010 A’s preview.  Enjoy!
