THE MEMORIAL DAY POLL.
Totally Tigers

On this holiday, we?ve got an extra poll for readers. Think of it as the perfect appetizer to your day?s BBQ.

In April, the Tigers had an 8-19 record. In May, they played to a 14-12 finish.

Detroit escaped from the AL Central basement and are no longer MLB?s worst team.

As always, we welcome your comments, so please vote and then submit your reasons (4 sentences max!) for how you voted in the usual comment box. Don?t forget to come back later and view the results!
