Detroit Tigers. Yippee.

Sheesh! What a letdown! The Detroit Tigers get swept by the Kansas City Royals at home and blew their chance at a division championship. All they had to do was beat KC once. ONCE!!! I gotta give a lot of credit to the White Sox, who beat the Twins twice (Friday and Saturday), practically handing the championship to the Tigers on a silver platter. The Tigers are still in the playoffs, but not only did they lose the division, but they also lost home field advantage. Now they have to face the Yankees in New York. Congrats go to the Minnesota Twins for winning the AL Central. They earned it.

I'm rooting for the Tigers, but they have zero momentum going into the playoffs. It doesn't look good, folks. But I'm trying to remain optimistic, because the Tigers have come a long way from being the worst team in baseball just three seasons ago to having one of their best seasons in almost twenty years.

Hooray for the Twins! What a 360 they did from their early season struggles.

A little "pick-me-up" for Tigers fans though is that Wild Card teams have been pretty successful as of late. Season isn't done

Yeah,
We'll at least you're not the Indians. last year, all we had to do was beat the Devil Rays and couldn't do it. It's been a decent year for D-town sports.
