Detroit Tigers Minor League Baseball Commentary and Analysis

As I write this, I am relaxing due to the fact that I am not participating in this week’s All-Star festivities. Yes, I know it’s a shame and a travesty, but I’m not complaining about the non-selection. Anyway, this past weekend I got to experience my first professional post-game celebration after we clinched a post-season playoff spot. What made this so much more enjoyable was how we came to that point. After taking three of four from first place Lansing and then the first two from second place Fort Wayne, we were able to take some pressure off ourselves and not worry about having to win the last game of the first half. So what should we expect from the Whitecaps in the second half? A letdown or another top slot? I would suggest the latter because of the fact that we have a very solid group of players and a coaching staff who expects nothing less than what we are capable of, which is winning. Is this a guarantee? No, I’m no Rasheed Wallace. Plus, a guarantee in the Midwest League would sound as professional as a Ryan Leaf post-game press conference. But, we are still going to make another run at winning the division and getting that champagne shower in the clubhouse after the game.
