yeah, but i doubt thatll happen

lol, the twins have a 4 game stretch with KC, but the tigers finish against KC, lol its up in the air now, but for both teams watch out, KC may turn out to be a spoiler for someone but the tigers probably will wrap it up because the twins finish with chicago who knows, the tigers could still win the AL outright

i'd have to say the schedule is in the tigers favor but that is why they play all the games. as far as ny yanks they should win every year with the money they spend to get a team. anything less i'd view as a failure if i was the one forking out all that cash.

money buys high salaried players, not a team

but isn't a high salary player suppose to be a high quality player.  and high quality players are suppose to be able to win and play as a team.  but that said i will say that these professional high paid players are more about themselves then the team.

[archbishop]

key phrase, high quality "player" not "teamate" high paid means a great individual, like the old saying, there is no "I" in "team"

sad but true   you'd think with all that money one could be a team player.imo i think thats whats wrong with pro sports.most play for themselves and not the team.and too much money.i'd play for cents on their dollars to have that opportunity.

the problem is all the high priced guys want to show up the other high priced guys so when your down 1 in the bottom of the 9th with a guy on 2nd and 2 outs they try for the walk off instead of a base hit to get 1 run in and at least tie the game, they are too busy playing for stats instead of wins look at harrison and owens, all you hear is how great and much money owens deserves, mostly from him though but if you break down stats him and harrison are similar, but if you break down wins, harrison has a HUGE edge but you never hear of him, and he isnt the top played player, but probably the top teamate to have in that position

not sure why i went to football in this baseball thread im going crazy

i dont even want to commant on owens.   but what you just said is oh so true, i think thats why the tigers are as good as they are this yr.  if you have been watching them lately they play as a team and not for themselves.  hopefully they continue.lots of sac. bunts to move the baserunners and guys just trying to win for the team.i think something needs to said for the manager too.selfish play kills teams.

[archbishop]

yeah, im not too familiar with their roster, but in the playoffs a "team" can only go so far without experiance, as in all sports the playoffs are a different animal
