"With an offense that had stud players at just about every position, many of them veterans, and a rotation that ranked among the best in baseball in 2006, the (2008 Detroit) Tigers came into Spring Training among the American League titans. Fans talked openly in January about World Series tickets. Opponents talked about Detroit as if it had a title to defend, not as a team trying to make a play upward. A funny thing happened on the way into the season -- just not ha-ha funny for Detroit." - Sportswriter Jason Beck on MLB.com (09/30/2008) |
