It's a mad mad mad mad world
Last year, the Detroit Tigers lost 119 games, one loss off of the season record for losses in modern baseball (the 62 Mets lost 120).

This year, the Tigers are about to go home after a season-opening three-game set against the Toronto Blue Jays. And they're undefeated.

Three wins. Losses? Zilch.

The last time the Tigers started a season 3-0 was 1985, when they had great players on the team like Lou Whitaker, Kirk Gibson, Jack Morris, and current manager Alan Trammel, who was the team's shortstop. The last time they won three straight road games to start a season was 1984 (They won 104 games that season, which is quite a feat) They won the World Series, too, in five games over San Diego.

I'm not really making comparisons between the '04 Tigers and the '84 Tigers, but sometimes they just sort of jump out at you.
