The Detroit Tigers and Perspective

I know there are big changes in the baseball standings and the perception of teams each week.

Talk shows, the bane of my existence, react exponentially to each game. It is beyond ridiculous.

However, even I, who usually have this stuff in perspective both in importance and in sports proportion, have trouble with the Detroit Tigers and their penchant for “measuring the field.”

They had been struggling and who knows may struggle again. Yet their four straight wins and four straight Kansas City Royals losses gives them a mathematical edge.

Add the fact they are way better than any other team in the AL Central and it should be Detroit’s 4th straight divisional crown.

Yet I say it will be some time and some struggle for the Tigers before they make it four straight divisional titles.
