Here They Come: Sox v. Tigers in Detroit


How about it? Tigs up on the Sox by 4.5 after a sweep of the Southsiders by the Yanks and a near sweep of the Royals by the GumTimers. (Note: The Detroit baseball team will be on ESPN three times in the next week. Booyah.)

Chances are one team or another will simply pick up one game on the other after this series -- BUT -- if a sweep occurs, this will be the series everyone looks back to. Tigs would be up by 7.5 if they sweep with a head of steam, Sox would be down by only 1.5 if they sweep only piling on to the thus-far domination of the Tigs.

Who is the better team? That's the ultimate question. Fortunately for whoever isn't, that really doesn't matter until October.

In other news, the Yanks and the Sox are setting up for another brilliant divisional chase, the NL West is setting up to be as bad as it was last year and the NY Ben Callets are good.

They're not going to make the fuckin playoffs!!!! Three starters are slumping hard core and their fundamentals would shame an American Legion team. Sod it.

I watched the NY Deuces hit two grand slams and drop 11 runs on the Cubs in the 6th inning last night. They really do seem to have some magic going right now and after they trade for Zito it's going to get even hotter.

That said, I've told a couple of you, I think, that I think the NL winner is playing for second place this year. The AL teams just look stronger on both sides of the ball. But, to paraphrase Michael Jordan, there's a lot of baseball left to play . . .
