Notes on Sports
Odd as it may seem, the most surprising thing in the sports world to me right now is not the struggles the Pistons are having in the playoffs. It is the fact that the Tigers have the best record in Major League Baseball. Granted, they've only played two games so far against teams in the AL East (home of the Yankees and Red Sox, among others), but they're playing equally well at home and on the road (7 losses each), and to be where they are 46 games into the season is almost shocking. It's almost like '84 again! As my grandpa says, they have essentially the same team as last year--but the new manager seems to be whipping them into shape. You go, Jim Leyland! And go, Tigers! Or, as they used to say in the old days, 'Bless you boys!'
