For getting pretty much nothing out of Miggy so far this season, I'd say we've had a pretty good start.

I learned two things in this thread:

1.) The Tigers are 4-0 on the road and I'm super excited about it.

2.) There are still people on this earth who haven't seen Dumb and Dumber.

If we can get more opportunities to use VMart, and Miggy gets going soon, look out. We've got some offensive firepower.
