The Tigers just kicked off their game with the Angels.  During the pregame show, I decided to check something.  On August 7, 2006, the Tigers essentially peaked in their magical season.  They were 40 games above .500 before they went on a little bit of a spill.  What’s odd is how that stretch has basically gone on into 2007 and now into 2008.  Since that time (almost two years), The Tigers are 128-134 in the regular season.  If you count their 8-5 playoffs in 2006, then they’re 136-139.  Almost .500.  So for a long period of time, the Tigers have basically played like a .500 team.

Anyway, some food for thought as you’re watching the game.
