Back to Back

The Detroit Tigers won tonight.  Important because this led to their winning the American League Central Division.  Important because this is the second year in a row.  Important because they did what everyone expected them to do.  There were points near the end of the season where everyone, even the die hard fans, were wondering if they were going to be able to catch the Chicago White Sox.  They did so, but they also got help.  Help from those White Sox they chased the majority of the year because they collapsed.  Not an epic collapse, but you know, a collapse that makes everyone happy. 

The only thing that would have made tonight better would have been if they won in Detroit.  Now they need to focus on playing fall baseball.  They need to tighten up because their defense is scary bad from time to time especially when the infield has to range left or right.  This is what the fans wanted.  This is what they got. 

Congratulations Detroit Tigers!  Central division champions of 2012.
