Tigers? Playoffs? Really!!!??

Way back in April, some guy probably got wasted on free 7-and-7s at a Harrah's in Nevada and put $10 on Detroit to make the playoffs. That guy is probably drowning in Johnny Walker Blue and making sexual advances at his boss' wife right about now.

Yeah, the Tigers -- the Detroit fucking Tigers! -- are going to the playoffs for the first time since the Cold War. They beat Kansas City 11-4 yesterday to assure themselves a place in the postseason. Hard not to forget this is the same team that lost 457 games three years ago.

Jim Leyland should probably be your AL Manager of the Year. And he's probably gonna smoke a carton of cigarettes today. Hell, he's taking Detroit to the playoffs. Why not smoke two?
