Tigers, Tigers, Burning BrightThose of you who've been around for awhile may remember my agony and ecstasy as the Detroit Tigers of 2003 flirted with the distinction as the worst major league baseball club of all time, then rallied amazingly at the end of the season to avoid that ignominious result.
Three years later and the Tigers are clearly one of the two best teams in baseball. Unfortunately the Chicago White Sox are the other team in that mix, only 2 games behind the Tigers, who had a terrific June and early July and yet somehow didn't put any extra distance between themselves and the Southsiders or the Minnesota Twins.
