ZU-MANIA

Billy Beane may still be every bit the genius portrayed in Moneyball, making the low-budget A's the fun and easy team to cheer on, but how can you deny the Tigers the mantle of most exciting team on the planet? It is not a stretch when you have 21-year old flamethrower Joel Martin Zumaya throwing strikes at 103-mph. But now comes this horrible news that Zoom-Zoom might not be back for awhile. And just when playoff baseball had found this year's K-Rod! Let's hope for a speedy recovery.
