How we feeling?  Thank God there isn’t another month left, because we’re not trending in the right direction.

2-4 against Cleveland should get it done.

I’ll be totally fine if the Tigers go 7–5 in the last dozen games. But I’ll take whatever I get and I won’t throw a fit.

They're 5 games UNDER. 500 over the past 2 months. But they'll turn it on the final 2 weeks

After the 35-5 start, the 1984 team went 22-23. 

Then they went 11-1.

Then they followed that up by going 20-21.

So, two different stretches lasting more than 40 games of the most magic team of all our lifetimes playing sub-.500 ball.

It’s what all baseball teams do: they have long funks during long seasons, and then they win rings by getting hot at just the right time.

Enjoy the ride!

I can’t believe it’s mid September.

Last week I had a monthly meeting with a higher up.  He asked if I watched any football over the weekend.  I reminded him it’s still baseball season.  I think he understand me more now.

I miss the days when our biggest worry was whether the magic number included tiebreakers or was based on outright clinches only.
