If people are going to give up on their teams and make these hasty claims, they should get called out when the team turns it around.

I know I felt bad because of what I said when the Wings won it all. I had said they were too soft back 4 months ago. My thing though is to try and make predictions.

Hey Mik are you going to be able to get over to see one of the games this week at AT & T Park?

You forgot about Amir Johnson.

I dunno, it's kind of chilly out there.

On a more serious note, I would love to, I already missed the A's series here in Oakland, but not really upset as Tigs were swept. I may go to a game.

Who would that be in the case of Tigers - Clevlen or Larish? Maybe both? How about that, if Cleveland and Larish don't get consistent playing time, Tigers won't go anywhere.

There. You heard it here first.

Don't confuse bay area with san fran. We're in 70's and the city is in low 50's.

The starters don't matter as they can't take us all the way. It's all about the bench.
And that Cabrera dude sure has a mind of his own.

Re all:
It's Skoo's fault, he said this team would run off with the Central. I agreed but it would only walk away from the rest of the league.
Besides what do you do when your team, consensus 90 wins, just comes out choking on it's own vomit ?
And the first time Beer has an opinion worthy of comment, I'll be there laughing.

Hey, no Amir no Finals. And i forgot to add, no Flip.
