Lions and Tigers

The Detroit Lions are going to have a rough season. I don't think anyone out there would argue with that. I knew they were going to struggle and they were not going to be very good this season but after listening to them for about ten minutes on the radio on Sunday afternoon I realized that this is the same old Lions. Losing that bad so early only meant one thing and that was it was time to turn them off and listen to the Tigers.

The Tigers have been a good story all year. They are in the hunt and have been in control for some time in AL Central. After coming from behind in the bottom of the ninth yesterday they still hold a 5 1/2 game lead over the Twins. I really look forward to them making the playoffs and maybe doing something they haven't done since 1984.

I remember those days with Chet Lemon, Kirk Gibson, Alan Trammell, Lou Whitaker and Jack Morris. It has been fun to watch they all season and I hope to keep seeing them as much as possible.
