Call me crazy...

But this was a big win!

Yeah I know it is early April, but each win against contending teams you get now is one you won't need later.

Last year the Red Sox and Indians finished tied, but the Red Sox got the home field advantage in the ALCS because they won the season series. Would the Sox have come back from 3-1 if games 6 and 7 were in Cleveland? We'll never find out.

In 2005, the Red Sox and Yankees finished tied... but the Yankees won the season series 10-9 and were crowned Division Champ. One more win and the Red Sox would have opened the post season at home versus the Angels, a team they pulverize. Instead they started on the road against the eventual World Champion White Sox. Would they have advanced to the ALCS? Again, we'll never find out.

I for one don't think the Tigers are a 1-7 team. So the more games won against contenders the better.

Oh yeah, winning going into the Yankee series can't hurt either.

So yeah, it's only April 10...
but WHAT A BIG WIN FOR MY BOYS
