Never thought I'd thank the Red Sox ...

Now, regardless of whether or not the Tigers drop their final two games before the All-Star Break, they're guaranteed of having the best record in baseball at the break with Boston beating the White Sox today. Wow.
I won't go so far as to call Detroit a lock for the Series at this point -- they still lack the experience as a team they'll need to get that far -- but I'd be surprised if they didn't at least make the playoffs at this point. Now the only problem is the possibility of the Tigers and Yankees battling it out either in the playoffs or for the wildcard spot. Tigers and Mets I've got no problems with because I know Don and I can take it in stride; a Tigers-Yankees showdown might cause some bloodshed in the Shannon house, though, likely my own.
Gee, the Tigers and the Bengals both stopped sucking here. Guess it's the Red Wings' turn to start dropping turdburgers on the ice. Le sigh.
