Couldn't agree any more. It seems like they fixed all of the wrong things when they were in that nasty funk. It's nice to see them finally reclaiming their division.

DOMINATE indeed. The Rays are in disarray and I hope that continues tonight. Being in recovery, my plan is to stay in and watch some Tigers ball and goof around in the radio shack where my computer is. So, I'm looking forward to a good game hopefully.
