It hasn't taken long for the expectations to reach a new level in Detroit. The Tigers lost to KC today, losing the series, and prompting this response from manager Jim Leyland:
“You get spoiled around here," Leyland said. "We’re not going to win every day. We’re not that kind of club. We’ve got a real good team and play a lot of other good teams. There are other teams playing for big stakes, just like we are. When you lose a series, it’s like you’ve got poison ivy around here. It’s just not that easy to win major league games. So I don’t have any problem with what’s going on there.”
The Tigers still have the best record in MLB at 58-38. (By my count, they were 65-32 on this date last year.) They begin an 11-game road trip Monday, and have been greeeaaaat on the road, going 32-17. Detroit has 5 games in Chicago, then three in both Anaheim and Oakland. Is it just me, or does it seem like the Tigs are on the West Coast a lot?
