The Great Summer Chase?

That’s 4 in a row for the Tigers.  What a game.  Did you see the 8th where Guiellen got hit and then got into it with LA’s pitcher?  Both dugouts cleared, no punches thrown, but then Magglio steps up and two pitches later smacks a shot over the wall in left to put the game out of reach.  That’s what I’m talking about!

So now, the summer is setting up for a great potential run at the division.  There still a ways back, but they’re within striking distance.  The just swept division leader White Sox, who they trail by 8 games.  Will this be known as the year of the great chase?  How they turned the corner and fed off the thrill of the hunt?  Will they be dubbed the Comeback Cats?

It’s still a long shot, but at least it’s given me some new found interest.  There’s at least hope.  And now it looks like Zumaya and Rodney are going to join the team.  As long as Joel stays away from Guitar Hero, moving boxes, and doing keg stands, we just might have a chance.
