And another great pitching performance by Edwin Jackson.

Going into June in first place and the ONLY team in the central above .500.

Gotta' love it.

Enjoy it while you can. They won't keep up that team ERA much
longer...the second half is coming quick, and that's when he
Tigers traditionally run out of steam.

first place with a 4 game lead over the second place team, then I'll
allow myself to be pleased with their position.

At last...a voice of reason. ;-)

And it didn't take long. Two weeks later and the Tigers have dropped
from 1st place to 5th place in the AL for team ERA...and all the way
down to 11th place overall.

And team batting average? The Tigers are down at 17th overall. Ouch.

But, at least they are still the only team in the ALC over .500...
but I don't expect that to last much longer either.
