How 'bout those Tigers ?
[From Detnews.com]
A look at how the Tigers finished in recent years after similarly poor starts:
Year First 6 games Finish
20080-6?
20030-642-119
20020-655-106
20001-579-83
19991-569-92
19981-565-97


Next, tomorrow in Fenway and the tall green wall.

Iirc, about 10/11 years ago the Yankees had a similar start. Everybody was calling for Joe Torre's head. The Yanks went on to win 114 games that year.

Beisbol get serious around the first of September each year. Way too early for "doom and gloom".

Sox home opener and ring ceremony this afternoon. This is supposed to be an ALCS preview, according to a lot of writers, but it's not looking like it at the moment. Dice-K vs. "The Gambler".

So what happened to Jeter last night?
