Who's your Tiger?

DETROIT (AP) -- The Cleveland Indians beat the Tigers so badly Jim Leyland was compelled to unleash a booming, expletive-filled tirade that could be heard outside the clubhouse.

Now taking bets on how long before Leyland a) has a heart attack, b) hangs himself in the dugout, or c) attacks one of his players with a splintered bat. But honestly, what did he expect? Would YOU accept a job as manager of the Detroit Tigers? Might be good for someone who has low blood pressure. The last time they ended the season above .500 was 1993. And as much as I'd love to think this Chris Shelton craziness will last (because he's currently my star fantasy player), it probably won't. Besides, one stellar player certainly can't carry a team. (See: Texas Rangers during the A-Rod years)

That's all for now. Excuse me while I bask in Jonathan Papelbon's perfection, heroics courtesy of Mark Loretta, and Kevin Youkilis's OBP. Aaaaah.
