Tinsel and Rot salutes your Atlantic League North Division First-Half Champion Newark Bears, who took first place away from the Tommy John-helmed Bridgeport Bluefish on Saturday and backed into the championship with a Bluefish loss on Sunday. And they did it all without any flashy ex-major leaguers. Take that, Long Island Ducks (featuring Edgardo Alfonzo, Donovan Osborne, Danny Graves, Jose Offerman, and Carl Everett).
Their first-half pennant earns them a playoff berth at the end of the season. It'll be the Bears' first trip to the postseason since 2002.
No word yet on if they plan to create an Atlantic League remix of the Chicago Bears' "Super Bowl Shuffle." But I hope they do.
