Enjoy the Ride

While at the Detroit Tigers game last night with friends, watching a perfectly dreadful loss, I was lamenting to one of the guys about how lucky we were to be in first place given the overall mediocre caliber of baseball the Tigers have played. Nick, one of our group and the one with perhaps the best approach to the issue, opined, "Why don't you just enjoy it?"

Well, why not? It makes perfect sense, especially given all the years in the 90's when the locals basically reeked. Now that they are contending in any manner should be a source of happiness and optimism rather than melancholy.

Thanks, Nick old friend. That put the right spin on it. Go Tigers!
