It's been a while since I've had time to post. What a week! Sweep the Cards. Bonderman comes off the DL and gets through a first inning without giving up a run. Maggs smacks balls all over the yard -- and out of the yard. Wee!
It hasn't been this much fun to be a Tigers fan since 1984. Last year was good, and memorable and exciting, but it was so unexpected that you kept waiting for the bottom to fall out. This season, you feel the Tigs belong. You have no doubt they're right up there with Boston and Cleveland and Chicago and Minnesota as one of the best teams around.
It's almost too good to be true. No Rogers yet, Zumaya on the DL, Bonderman sidelined once, early offensive struggles, inconsistent bullpen -- and the team is on pace to win 102 games!
As for Maggs, hopefully he can stay healthy. It would appear his knee woes aren't affecting him this season. To me, the most telling stat is his ML-best 23 doubles. I would think that means he's driving the ball well, something he wasn't always able to do in the past with his injuries. It looks like the old Maggs is back.
Cleveland vs. Detroit now for the top of the AL Central.
