Looks like for the second night in a row, the Rangers are going to blow a 4-0 against the lowly Orioles.
The Orioles played the Tigers surprisingly tough when they were in Detroit. They’re out of it but maybe they’ll turn things around and finish the season above .300
I’m reminded of George Allen, who coached in the NFL (and later in the USFL), how his constant over decades was to say, the difference between victory and defeat is “this much” and he held his palms about a foot apart. Teams can be just a little off, and their records look terrible. They have a winning night, and it seems surprisng. :’)
Hey, I should know — the Red Wings have been a big deal for fifteen years now, but they had a forty year dry spell before that; the Pistons finally crawled to the top of the game twenty years ago, and for the most part have had a winning culture ever since; the Lions haven’t won the championship since 1957 (i know, bad example); and the Tigers haven’t done too badly historically, even though their last championship was 1984, and before that 1968, and before that, probably around WWII. :’) And after all, very few teams have won the World Series more than four times.
