Riding in from the airport & meeting a few folks from Motown last night, it's safe to say that the mood in Detroit is one where Tiger Nation expects to win the AL Central. In fact, 48 out of 49 sportscasters around the country pick the Tigers as the favorites to win the AL East. Who can argue with that?
Having said that, not everyone is happy about the huge contract to Prince Fielder. This is a city that ran out of money recently & had to go on bended knee to the state for a bailout. According to the news, the bailout of Detroit was just approved, but it comes with a lot of strings.
While the car manufacturers are doing better than in the past, the full economic recovery of Detroit is still a long way away from happening. But at least the people of Detroit have their Tigers to bring them hope. I'd be happy with 1 win out of 3 here.
