Oh really well you better look at the History of the Manager, Miami, Pittsburg the Manager is the best of the best and he has put together a team that was decent in its previous year considering how good its division was Chicago, Cleveland last year were no dog teams and niether was Minn. Since his arrivial this spring he shaprened the edges and brought in Pitching. As for the bet your on Doggy your Sox won 18 out of 21 and could not catch us when they were only a half a game down when that steak began.
Thats a team that finds anyway to win and thats just how they keep doing it make an error on this team in the 7th or later and they will eat your for lunch example, St. Louis, Cubs, Cinc, and Milwaukee all had us down in late innings and we took 3-4 or swept everyone of those teams.
If the ERA was not so low I would my doubts, but this is one of the strongest teams in years the # and % prove it. Yeah I am optomistic, based on the numbers teams in history that win like this this have always been in there in October, last year it was the Sox year before it was Red Sox they are both very good teams this year but the numbers support this team as being a great team, cannot argue with history. A betting man a good one always goes with the odds and history, I will bet anybody anything as $ is no object so long as it is not more than a dollar.
I grew up 5 miles from (Briggs) Tiger Stadium I loved them as a kid, Al Kaline, Mickey Lolach, Denny McClaine, Willie Horton. Every Saturday Home Day our local Parks and Rec H.S. students took us all down to the games such great memories as a kid. Now a law suites would never allow todays kids to have a such a good time. SAD I remember us in a VW Beetle craming about 7 of us in that car and ridding in the so called trunk behind the back seat in front of the rear window or engine, boy I had to be hot but as kid and chance to go to the game you could of strapped me to the bumper and that would have been fine by me.
