My only problem is with your penchant of quoting stats to show us how powerful your team is, touting their performance in numerous catagories, and even proposing three of them as MVP. Again, good for them, but they are all 0-for-October, and you don't count your goose-eggs before they're even laid. The Baseball Gods never sleep. Besides, there is one significant stat you have NOT brought to our attention. Your Tigers are presently 26 games over .500, but against the East and West Divisions you are only 4 over. You got fat on the Central . . . just like everybody else does.

So I'm guessing you guys are excited to face Verlander and Fister at home? Would you have rather faced Boston or Tampa?
BTW all the teams are 0-for-October since it's still September. Every year each team is different. the 2010 Yanks were different than the 2011 Yanks. Same is true of any team. Ask the Twins, Giants, Braves, and Reds. All four played in October last year, none of them will get to this year.

I can't wait for tomorrow night!
