About an hour ago, Detroit was tied with Chicago for the division lead. I clicked over to Fox Sports to watch the box score of their current game against St. Louis, refreshed every thirty seconds (it's surprising how well you can actually follow the game this way). When I started, they were down 6-4 in the bottom of the ninth. Through the miracle of the Internet (thanks, Al!) I watched them come back and tie it. Then after another scoreless inning, the Tigers won the game in the bottom of the tenth, 7-6 , with an RBI on a double.

In days of yore, they would have lost this game. But this year, they're playing like a team that could go all the way. I may have to waste much time of my waning life actually following games this season...

I thought it was JUST newly tied, you mean the tigers ended up winning?

JESUS FRIGGEN CHRIST!!!

The Sox and the Tigers are just HUMILIATING all the rest of baseball, and I can't believe that Detroit is a better team! A team made so well that they have had 14 of wins out of the last 12 games!!! JEEZ!!! The Tigs are embarassing the rest of baseball as much if not more than the SOX are.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!

They don't just lead all baseball in their records, they are ADVANCING a likely (if coninued record) split of 120 won games EACH! this year, and they are in the same friggen division.

Well, at least I can support mags, and pudge.

Looks like we are in for an exciting ride.

My brother has XM radio and tells me he has started listening to Detroit sports talk radio. They are thrilled about the Tigers but frustrated the Tigers cannot open a wider lead over the Chi-Sox.
