I've seen some negative stuff written and said about the Tigers this year, and I guess that since that was brought to the fore front over here, the good stuff has been ignored. Local media will do that to create a stroy.
Unfortunately, I don't think there are any teams better than the Yankees this year. From what I've seen, if Rivera is healthy, they are unbeatable.
As for the Tigers/Twins series, it's really pathetic when a team has a pitcher that won't give up more than two runs in seven innings, but the team consistantly can't score three runs when he pitches to win a low scoring game. Robertson just can't catch a break lately. If Bonderman can find his stuff today, than all is good again. He's do for a great start, but he hasn't had it mentally for some time. I'll feel a lot better when Polanco and Maroth are back. Hopefully, it won't be to late when they return.
