Go Tigers! 🐅
ReplyDeleteGood luck.
DeleteLet's go Tigers!
ReplyDeleteThe Padres are in the other one.
DeleteRooting for the Yankees of course, but not expecting much. Except for Judge and Soto, those numbers you list were mostly from the hot start in April and May. They've been basically a .500 team since.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see. They made it to the playoffs.
DeleteI'm expecting some great games this postseason. No one truly dominated, and there aren't many scenarios that would be considered upsets.
ReplyDeleteYeah.
DeleteMrs Verlander is always a welcome sight.
