DOES ANYONE OUT THERE EVEN CARE??

Ok, maybe it’s just me. But it seems to me in past races to win a division title..there was a whole lot more public interest. TV stations went to sports bars to do “live shots”….sportscasts would have the magic number to a title, yadda, yadda yadda. But everyone seems more interested in the 0-19 Lions, or the 3-0 Michigan Wolverines. I like football too…but come on..how about a little love for the Bengals??? Maybe its because the team has been hard to love, hot one minute, cold the next, and somehow able to stay in first place but far from being dominating. Whatever, I’m sure the frontrunners and band wagoners will become “fans” if they get to the postseason.
Justin Verlander has crossed the line from being a good prospect, to being one of the top pitchers in baseball. As I’ve said before, he’s developed that killer instinct and attacks hitters, daring them to hit his fastball. When the Tigers need a win…he’s the guy I would turn to everytime. Having said that, Edwin Jackson is still a concern for me. Yes, in his last outing he didn’t allow a run, but hitters were getting good swings, and hitting the ball on the nose. They were luckily at somebody
It looks like Bobby Seay might miss awhile because of a sore shoulder. He’s been hit hard in his last few outings…and I was suspecting something was different. That will leave Fu-Te Ni as the left handed specialist out of the bullpen. He has very quietly had a very effective season…but no one seems to notice.
