It's all about pitching my friend...the lineup means nothing. Just look at the AL Central. White Sox...world champions in 2005...greatly improved their offense in 2006...no playoffs. Detroit...world series in 2006...greatly improved their offense in 2007...no playoffs. Improved it again this year...big deal. Cleveland...far worse offense in 2007 than 2006...under .500 in 2006...1 game from world series in 2007.

It appears to me from 3 separate teams in the AL Central...the worse your offense, the better you do (that shouldn't happen, but completely proves it is all about the pitching...not your lineup.) Isn't Zumaya still hurt?? Detroit had one of the best offenses last year...how have they improved their bullpen this year??
