Surprise endings
I just looked at the standings and saw that the Cleveland Indians have a real good shot at finishing the year with a .500 record – a big accomplishment considering the way they struggled to begin the season (which led them to trade their ace CC Sabathia). What truly surprised me, though, was that the Detroit Tigers are LAST in the A.L. Central – a half game behind the Kansas City Royals. The team that made it to the World Series ago just two years ago and traded for Miguel Cabrera, Dontrelle Willis, and Edgar Renteria in the offseason was expected to make a return trip to the Fall Classic but got off to an awful start to the season and never looked like a championship team, but who would have ever predicted they’d be giving the Royals a run at the bottom of the division?
