It reminds me of theBig Red Machine, who always seemed to have the answer . The pitching is very solid (downright intimidationg at times). The position players are professional in bearing and ability, and the outfiled is fast, quick, and all of them are good with a bat. Leyland has called this team to not only be the best inMLB, but the best by 10 games !! I haven’t seen this good a combination in many years.

I don't know how we got to this point so quickly, but somehow this team has enough depth that it could sustain a couple significant injuries and still make a serious run at the title. What an awesome feeling. :) Dead-on.
