Crazy Prediction
Apparently, some one has the audacity to think the impossible, the very impossible. Experts have predicted the Athletic's to win the World Series this year, the Chicago White Sox have upped their line up this year and are looking to defend it, and the Yankees are World Series hungry with a five-year draught needing to be quenched.
However, this one individual is not looking at the A's, not the ChiSox, or even NY, he is looking at a team that hasn't won a title since I was born.
During this teams last title run, the Challenger exploded, two gulf wars have been waged, a president was nearly assassinated, and father-son president combo has happened, we saw the Red Sox fall victim to Babe Ruth's curse only to break it the following year, Computers went from these ugly things, to tiny hand held palm pilots, cell phones made a debut, a pope died, a princess died, 9/11, and almost another impeachment. Ladies and gentlemen, this brave soul, who shall be named Whatever, decided to go with the Detroit Tigers winning the 2006 World Series.
That's right.
Detroit.
Tigers.
Tigers.
Detroit.
Yes they had a good start, but all good things come to an end. Look at last year's Orioles. Nice little first place lead, then the all-star game, nice little fourth place finish.
Mr. Whatever, you are wrong to think that the Tigers are going to win the World Series, or even make the playoffs.
Don't get me wrong, the Tigers aren't that bad of a team, slowly building up, but not quite championship material just yet. Mr. Whatever, I think you are forgetting that the defending World Series champions and the 2005 wild card runner-up are both in the same league. Just chew on that for a bit, then when you change your mind, please enlighten me. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.
In the words of my favorite comedian, "Dee dee dee"!
