Leyland accused of jumping on bandwagon

I didn’t see this until this morning, but you know you’re getting attention when The Onion writes about you:

DETROIT — Friends and associates of the American League manager say that,even though Jim Leyland had never rooted for the Detroit Tigers prior
to this season, he "suddenly began following the team" once they
started winning in early April. "In all the years I’ve known Jim, I
don’t think I have once heard him mention anything about the Tigers,
but now that they’re good again, he’s walking around in a Tigers cap
every day," said Roger Lussier, a longtime friend who noted that
Leyland is not from Detroit and didn’t even know who Mike Maroth was
before he started the year 4-1. "Now he tells me he ‘truly believes’
Jeremy Bonderman is one of the best pitchers in baseball. He’s such a
fair-weather guy—I specifically remember him being a huge Florida
Marlins fan back when they won the World Series in ’97." Lussier
predicted that, should the 20-13 Tigers return to form and begin to
slide toward the bottom of the division, Leyland would quickly lose
interest in the team.

Before anyone writes in and complains, it’s a satire, folks.
