Granderson has to be near the top. Does anyone know of any good league wide rankings of win-percentage added? Granderson has to be near the top.

We should easily sweep the Pirates (notice they just got knocked down to 30th in ESPN's power rankings), then all we have to do is take two out of three from the Astros Tonight, Tommorrow and the Next Day. SOOOOOOOOEAAAASSSSSYYYYY. And remember, we're talking about the Tigers. Scott, 5 out of the next 6 shouldn’t be that hard.

We can't expect much help there. We play the Bucs after the 'Stros.

In most divisions, they'd be in contention. My main point was to point out how amazing the Tigers and the White Sox--two teams in the same division--have been. You expect that if you go 9-1 you're going to at least make up 2 or 3 games on the division leader. Well, the Twins have gone from 4 games under .500 to 4 games over .500.

It's great for them to suddenly get hot and play well, but I can't see any way for them to make up that kind of ground, especially not againt the Tigers and White Sox. This division will leave everyone else in the dust, in terms of excitement, wins, competition, excellent play--you name it. Plus, the Twins are 11 games back.

They've gone 9-1 over their last 10 and haven't made up a single game on either the Tigers or the White Sox.

Blowing an 8-run lead from the 7th inning onward? That's reminiscent of the Tigers pitching.....even last year. I couldn't eat for a week if the Tiges did that. I just saw at least Houston won in 13 innings, so we did gain a game on the Sox anyway.....whew!

Giddy is the perfect word for how this team makes you feel! Great story in the Freep this morning about Jeremy Bonderman. If what that article claims is really true, Kenny Rogers is even more my MVP this year. He's had an impact on the entire rotation. I’m with you Andrew.
