I don't know about the rest of you Tigers fans out there, but damn if I'm not starting to believe that these guys just might be for real this year. True, they could be setting me up for a June swoon and a big disappointment, as the Cubs are wont to do to their fans, but for now I might as well enjoy the ride.
