"After 162 games, we (the 2009 Detroit Tigers) are in first place, and I think that's probably more than most people expected. I'm not trying to indicate that we're satisfied. I'm just saying that at the beginning of the season, I can't remember anybody picking us to win the division. And we haven't, but we are in first place after 162 games." - Detroit Tigers Manager Jim Leyland on MLB.com (10/04/09, Jason Beck, 'Playoff-hungry Tigers return to dome')
