    Great Teams Can Accomplish Anything 

    The Boston Red Sox once again proven the age old axiom–Great Teams Can Accomplish Far More than Great Individuals. Boston shows us the key to achievement as they take the AL Pennant.

    Kevin Youkilis tells us how they did it on the Youk Blog:

    It’s unbelievable. It’s a great feeling to come out here in Game 7 and play so well. I’ll tell you what, it was unbelievable for us to win here at home, and a lot of people doubted us, but we didn’t doubt ourselves. That’s the biggest thing. When you believe in each other, you can go a long way in life.

    If you ask me what the key to this series was, it was just sticking together. There’s a lot of people that are negative, and there’s a lot of people that doubt us, and they want to get on the bandwagon and say we can’t do it. You know what? We proved everyone wrong. We did it in 2004 and we did it again now. Maybe one of these days, people will start having a little more faith in us.

    Oh, and by the way if you had been watching my Twitter feed I saw this coming.

      pek,

      You missed that horse! Just goes to show you some people’s belief gets priority over other–Why is the great secret.

      I feel your pain. I thought this was the Tigers’ year for redemption.

    Leadership! 

    When the best in the business want you as their skipper. And your biggest rivals respect you.

    Tigers without Pudge in 2008 

    This is the sad, business part of baseball: Tigers unlikely to take the $13 million option on Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez’s contract. It is inevitable and necessary for the team to continue to grow and be contenders, but it will be sad. He has been a big part of the heart of the new Tigers.

    Verlander Throws Unhittable Stuff 

    What a beautiful thing–a no-hitter–for a young rising star and a classy Detroit Tigers club!

    Youk has a Blog Too 

    One of my perennially favorite fantasy players, Kevin Youkilis, just started blogging: Yooooouuuuukkkkk

    I love this trend that I think started with Curt Schilling. This is a great way to bring the fans back inside the game!

    Fun Stuff for Baseball Fans 

    Between 38 Pitches (and I am not a Boston fan) and Ballbug what a fun way to make baseball an intimate game again. I hope other bloggers and baseball players get into covering the sport like this.

    Fantasy Baseball Fan Dilemma 

    I am going to see my beloved Tigers play tonight. Double the fun. I also get to see one of the pitchers on my Fantasy Baseball team (currently I am first place–I am sure you were wondering) start tonight.

    The dilemma: My pitcher is Braden Looper (STL).

    What to do?

    Streaming Pitchers to Get the Lead 

    I am in a tightly contested Fantasy Baseball league and trying to take the lead this week as I go head-to-head with the leader. Trying a little streaming pitcher strategy.

    I know it is not a favorite with purist, but man it can fill some slumping holes. I think you would have to be careful though because you can really get whacked if you league includes loses or you get a couple of exploding ERAs.

    Web 2.0 Opening Day! 

    This means the start of real and fantasy baseball. Since DeepGreen Bank is one of the many vanishing mortgage banks in 2007 and that group of fantasy leaguers has disbanded. I have linked up with a band of Web 2.0 entrepreneurs, founders, VCs, and writers to play my beloved fantasy ball.

    Here are some of their blogs:
