Catch a Tiger by . . .

Ok. It's late in the baseball season, and the Detroit Tigers no longer have the best record in baseball like they have all year long. That distinction now belongs to the hated New York Mets. There is the chance that this could be another subway series with dismal ratings that only a Lee Mazilli fan would enjoy. However, the season is wrapping up to be a real thrilla in Manilla as the ghost of Kirby Puckett and those surging Minnesota Twins prepare to overtake Leyland's Lions. But don't count out the Jim (Thome) Sox even though they probably stink like an old used pair of gym socks right now. I think they'll go down to the wire, and perhaps a little cheating like a dropped third strike. But then, they don't cheat in baseball, steriod boy, do they? Certainly, not on the South side of town.
