Go Get 'em, Tigers
I'm not much of a sports fan, but I always enjoy seeing a local team doing well. It's especially fun to watch this season's Detroit Tigers, who have unexpectedly dominated the entire league. Tonight I watched them take out the Red Sox, 7-4, to end a five game losing streak.
The Tigers have only won the World Series once in my lifetime (in the stellar 1984 season). This year certainly looks promising . . . a Series in '06 would be all the sweeter considering how poorly they've performed in recent seasons.
It was fairly cool outside this evening, so I kept the AC off, let the fan blow a breeze through the house, and watched the last few innings. If only Ernie Harwell had been on the radio, it would've been the quintessential Michigan summer night.
