    Words of wisdom from Steve Stone:
    You can't win a division in April, but it's certainly possible to lose it.

      In 1984 the Tigers were 18-2 in April (and one of their 2 losses was a 19 inning game). That year they pretty much won it in April. Or at least in May when they were 35-5. But that was a very special year.

          I'll tell you true. Ballpark in Arlington is outstanding, but they need to put a retractable roof on it. There's no home field advantage when it's 105 degrees and 80% humidity. I don't care what kind of superman you think you are.

            According to Elias Sports Bureau, the Tigers are the 43rd team since 1903, the first year of the World Series, to start a season 0-6. Only two teams — the 1974 Pittsburgh Pirates and the 1995 Cincinnati Reds — lost their first six and made the postseason.
            ...and no team starting 0-4 has ever won the World Series.

              I'm worried. Not b/c the Yanks are 4-4. That's fine. Jeter and Posada are both hurt. That's not fine. The team has some depth, but if Posada misses any serious time, they're in deep ****. Jeter should hopefully be back soon.

                    Now if we can put together a 7 game win streak we'll be... at .500.

                      Yanks 5-5 now. Still not really hitting. Hitting a coupla HRs off Hideo Nomo (!!) doesn't really count. Pitching remains pretty good.

                      Wang v. Buccholz. Hmm. I guess I like that matchup.
                      Mussina v. Beckett. Um, eek.
                      Hughes v. Matsuzaka. Love Phil and all, but advantage Sox again. DiceK has been nasty so far. Phil's been up & down.

                      So I will be content with 1 out of 3. Given the way the offense is sputtering and the fact that the series is up at Fenway.

                            While the Cubs have not looked all that good, making errors, and not playing solid baseball, they are now 6 - 3.

                            It didn't hurt that we were playing the Pirates
