Random Tidbits...by Riff
* For the Tigers, this weekend marked the first weekend series sweep of the Red Sox at Fenway Park in 31-years. That sounds very 1984-era Tigers, which I like these kinds of comparisons (they are warranted).
* Rick Porcello, who is in his 6th year with the Tigers, is actually 2-months younger than the Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg. IMO, Porcello has greatly improved after he added that sweeping curveball to his repertoire.
* Porcello leads (tied) the major league in most major league baseball win since July 4th, 2013: Porcello 16, Greinke 16, Shields 16, Buehrle 15.
* Tigers are World Series Champs or Chumps this season! That's right. What else is there to achieve for the franchise to achieve? They already have multiple MVPs/Cy Youngs/ALCSs, etc. over the past few years.
