Can you believe it?
"Yes...yes I can..."
Just a quick congratulations to the Detroit Tigers for winning the AL pennant and booking their place in the World Series. It really is nice to see a young, hungry, medium budget team have the type of season they are having. I also love the fact that they have proven the ‘so-called’ experts dead wrong after every single sports writer and pundit had written off the Tigers before they had even played their first game against the big, bad, New York Yankees. Some of the talk on the radio before the baseball playoffs started was just laughable. I couldn’t believe it then…and its even more ridiculous now that the Tigers have swept the A’s. These guys spend their whole lives, every waking working minute, covering sports and attempting to form a ‘educated opinion’…yet they come on the radio or the TV and literally make jokes and snide remarks about how the Tigers have no chance vs. the Yankees and that the series was ‘over’ before it had even begun. Are you kidding me?!?
Having watched and played sports for the better part of my life, I know damn well that anything can happen…anything. Its why you PLAY the game. Yes, sometimes the big, rich teams dominate and are able to buy a championship…or even a string of them…but how many times has a Anaheim Angles, Carolina Hurricanes or New England Patriots come out of nowhere and won out over some storied, uber rich team and taken home the big prize? It happens all the time (except in golf and tennis…where Tiger Woods and Roger Federer just own their respective sports right now!) yet these so called experts are so quick to dismiss and even ridicule the David’s of the sporting world. Cocky fuckers!
Have you ever noticed how when experts are making their ‘bold’ predictions for the upcoming season, they invariably select the team that won it the year before. WOW…way to go out on a limb guy! It’s the safe bet…and its lame.
Anyway, I’m sure this entry may fall on some deaf ears…not everyone is into sports…even I’m not nearly as nutty as I was 5-10 years ago…but it just boggles my mind how the experts are often so very, VERY wrong. Sometimes, I think these guys say these things in order to stand out or to make the ‘story’ of the underdog rising up that much more amazing and newsworthy. “WOW…we didn’t see it coming, so its even MORE amazing!” It’s all a big con so they have something to write about I think. 90% of sports writers are weasels and hacks and don’t know any more about sports than Joe Six-pack who watches all the games and reads their stupid columns…and if you’ve ever listened to sports-talk radio, you know Joe Six-pack doesn’t know shit!
Even though I'm not a Detroit fan, I know who I’ll be rooting for in the World Series…the team that wasn’t supposed to win a single game.
Go Tigers!
