What I don't get is why everyone thinks that its' such a surprise that the Tigers are doing this well! They have actually under-acheived the last couple of years, and they are finally putting all of their enormous (and not too well-known) talent into winning games. Time for me to get on my high horse - Before the season, I actually guessed that these five teams-Yanks, Red Sox, White Sox, Blue Jays, and Tigers-would be battling it out for 3 AL playoff spot (I'm not counting the AL West winner, the Wild Card won't come from the AL West).
Daammmn, give the Tigs a break. They sucked ass for so long, at least give them their due for not shooting themselves in the foot. At least they are winning games they should be winning. And even when they were the joke of baseball they still always played the Yanks and Bosox tough. I think they will give all the blank check payroll teams a run for their money. They have no excuse not to. Their lineup is pretty solid top to bottom. If the players perform to the level expected of them, I think a lot of people will be in for quite a shock. Hell, if they keep up the way they are going now, it shouldn't be too hard for them to contend for the postseason. But hey, what do I know, except that Kool-Aid they serve is pretty gooddddddddddddd
grum is a loser.
The Tigers are definately improved from last year, but still are far from the playoffs.
ya well it looks like now they could be in first over all in baseball now. great game tonite by the tigs. GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIGERS
Seeing these cats winning like this is definitely a sight for sore eyes. I know it's early and the true test is yet to come (coming up: ChW, Bos, Ny and Tor). One thing that nobody has really mentioned is PITCHING! The Tiges, Twins game just ended and Verlander won the duel against Santana. There's more where that came from. (Santana is sweet though). F'n Pistons : (
fanbois got cooties. just sayin'.
red sox mets come october you can take it to the bank
