The World According To...ME

Damon and Maggs could come up big this year



So there they were......30,000 people standing and screaming for a guy that everyone said was a dumb pick-up. A desperate move by a team going nowhere. "Johnny, Johnny" the crowd roared. Yes, Johnny Damon officially became a Tiger today. And all he did was simply draw a pinch-hit walk. Sounds boring, but to the baseball junkies of the world it was way more.

It capped off a sweep of the Cleveland Indians, and put the Tigers in first place after week 1 with a 5-1 record.

I know, I know. I can hear it already! It's WAY to early to get excited. Well I have news for you. IT'S NOT.

It's games like this that can MAKE an entire season, and believe me, if we were 1-5 and blew a 7-1 lead today people would be saying, "I told ya' so."

Like I said, since the Tigers made the trade, made this "awful" trade, for Austin Jackson and Phil Coke, (and Max Scherzer), they got alot of talent in this trade. (Sorry I just have to keep saying that since all the experts on my local 'know-it-all' radio station said it was an awful move.)

Right now the Tigers are 5-1, and their worst pitcher has been Justin Verlander. Hmmmm, thats odd. Just think how good we can be when JV comes around!
