Time will tell, but I personally can see where Detroit would take it all this year--they've been waiting 19 years to get back to the playoffs, and are now only 2 games from a guaranteed playoff spot, regardless of whether they win the AL Central. It's time a Detroit team took some initiative and said "Enough is enough. 22 years without a title is too long. We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore!", and then actually did what everyone is calling impossible, and that's winning the [World] Series this year.
Oh, and with Polanco being back in the starting rotation tomorrow's game @ KC (activated from DL today), he will give the Tigers a much needed kick in the pants from now through Oct. 1st, and quite possibly throughout their playoff run...
