"Eight weeks ago, the Pittsburgh Pirates appeared on their way to their 20th straight sub-.500 season; now they're dreaming of a deep playoff run. Seven weeks ago, the Detroit Tigers were playing so poorly that some critics were calling for Jim Leyland's head; now they're poised to defend their AL Central crown. Three weeks ago, the Oakland A's seemed destined for another season of irrelevance; now they're baseball's Cardiac Kids, pulling off more miraculous wins than anyone. Eight days till the trade deadline, and baseball's balance of power is shifting. It's Week 16 of The 30."
