Major Sports News
My team (to the degree that I have a team), the Detroit Tigers, started out the season as the most pathetic team in the major leagues, with a 3-25 start. They were so deep in the cellar at the end of April that they needed a shovel to get to the floor of it.
They just took four straight, and swept the Orioles.
Amazing. Wonder if this is a fluke, or a turning point?

A turning point towards what? Winning 50 games?

Fluke. Those Tigers are a bad, bad, bad, bad team. They just broke .200 batting as a team, making up 30 points over the weekend. That's about all they've got offensively. And sweeping the Orioles ain't so hard as it used to be either.

As a Dodger fan, all I can say is 'but for the grace of pitching, that could be us'. Since the powers that be decided to give home field advantage in the world series to the winning league of the allstar game, I've been voting for an all Tiger team. .

It's a fluke, but the odds are pretty good the Tigers will at least clear the 50-win mark. They're bad, but they're not that bad.

come on... even the Cleveland Indians can beat the Orioles. it means nothing. (yes, i'm from Cleve-land)

The Orioles are nearly in the same class as the Tigers. Sweeping the Orioles is just barely meaningful, it adjusts the order at the bottom of the standings.
