Ummm...What about the ChiSox...I can remember them being "pretty good" last year! ;)
Detroit.
Detroit.
yea im worried about them now, their going the wrong way
geeze guys. They do still have the best record in baseball and a 5.5 game lead. Lets not count them out yet. It should be fun to watch either way GO TIGERS.
yeah but they still will at least get the wild card :tipup:

Well after they get swept by Boston this week it's going to get real tight. i can't wait until the showdown this weekend between the sox and stankees. I'm either going to go to work real happy or really dissapointed (unless of course I catch a monster salmon this weekend).

Look like youd better plan on catching a monster salmon cause the redsox are not gonna sweeep the tigs- game 1 = Tigers 7 redsox 4
did we win last night?, I didnt catch the end of the game. Just saw in the 5th we were losing 0-1
Well at least i caught a decent salmonThere ya go always look on the bright side. Looks like you might wanna start to look into your football team. The Bosox are done. :'(
GO TWINS ;DThe twinkies are on a roll LOL watch out for em. ;)
didnt the yankees take 3 of 4 last time vs. the tigers ???The Tigs have had a rough time with top teams this year. I think the yanks did win 3 outta 4 earlier. :-\
d**n they lost game 1 = 0-2
youll be on here mad again at 11 :laugh:Top of the ninth , two out , two on , Yankees 3 Tigers 2 , Monroe steps to the plate.......................HOME RUN !! That was the Tigs 16th win in there last at bat leading the american league. Game 3 1 o'clock today.
Shawn casey plowed into him....hard it was a great tackle... :o
6-4 YANK'S :laugh:
congrats you guys beat the #1 TEAM
no, the yanks won ;)
yanks are only 2 games behind detroit in the loss column, i doubt at the end of the year detroit will be #1 :tipup:
got all of September left to pick it up again!
I believe the #1 team in the majors right now is the METS!!!!!
They have 2 less losses. Mets 84 - 50 win % .627 Tigers 84 - 52 win % .618.
Arch,
They have played 2 less games and they have the same number of wins. This means the have a better record. Look at the winning percentage. Take away 2 games from Detroit (we will say 1 loss and 1 win). That makes them 83- 51 hence a worse record than the Mets.
yeah, it also gives them 2 more chances to loose more games :tipup:
also look at the other teams in the NL ??? there is just 2 other teams that are barely over 70 wins, put the mets in the AL with that competition ans schedule and they wouldnt even be a wild card team :tipup:
What????? If the Yankees, Tigers, and A's can be division leaders, the Mets could definatally win any division in the AL.
are you kidding, if the AL teams were over playing that half arsed talent in the NL they would be over 100 wins by now, the yanks, spilt the series with the mets, all close games, except that route when the yanks beat them 16-7, the mets are a product of a weak division, no one but mets fans pick them to win the world series :tipup: they dont have AL talent, heck they lost all 3 to boston :tipup:
Yes I am a Mets fan. Their is a slight talent differential. But you can score more runs when your pitcher does not hit. The Mets are where they are because of the depth of the team. They have most of the NL talent on their team. What other team could lose this many pitchers and still keep winning? Not many. I always love a good debate.
ok HI-JACKERS!!!
lol, you should reneame this thread where did the detroit team go :laugh:UMMMMM.........they are still in first......even though they are something like 17-18 there last 35 games.
UMMMMM.........they are still in first......even though they are something like 17-18 there last 35 games.
I swear that Jeter is on steriods ;)
As much as I hate to admit it...Stankees are going to win another one. Oakland, Detroit have no shot. The only thing that stankees have to worry about is if Liriano comes back and pitches like he did earlier in the season. Liriano and Santana is a very potent 1-2 punch.I wouldnt say the tigers have no shot. There pitching has been good, I believe they still lead the league in ERA I agree theyll have to play.better baseball but if their hitting picks back up and their pitching continues they could do well.
I don't know if that is going to be enough to stifle the stankee offense though.

not much since 2000 as a team, but players have, and the tigers havnt had any success for how long? just out of the blue? whoever they get in the first round is going to go the distance, and if they pull it out, they are going to get spanked next :tipup:ok
ok
lol, who knows, thats why they play the game ???LOL Ill agree with that . My oldest always asks me who I think is gonna win ( what ever sport were watching ) it drives me crazy. Well have to wait and see. Plus I am a homer. LOL
i caught it on sportscenter, first in 2 years and first in i fogot how many years by a rookie :tipup:
I know I was shocked it was the first in two years
Not looking god for the Tigers. They all of a sudden cannot hit a baseball??
hopefully this will be out of their system by time of playoffs. it seems everytime i watch a game they lose and win when i don't sooo i'm not gonna watch another game. ;D i really don't think they have a chance in the playoffs personally, they are a detroit team. ::)spoon if they keep playing like this there will be no playoffs :'( Only thing going for them is that the sox play the twins the last series of the year. We will have to wait and see ( well not you you need to quit watching ;D Check in here ill keep ya posted. ;)
Not looking god for the Tigers. They all of a sudden cannot hit a baseball??'
'Well you guys had better get it together. LOL J/K
yea we choked
10-22 in the last 32 games :o uh oh, the playoffs are slipping away ???Yeah its really not looking good.
gotta love that bottom of the 9th homer to win. and they won while i was watchin. ;DThat was sweet , Im hopeing Palanco comes back soon and thee offense gets a charge.
gotta love that bottom of the 9th homer to win. and they won while i was watchin. ;D
thats pretty sweet
maybe it will turn things around for them
a little motivation!
spoon you must of been watching that game ::) UGH :(
Down to a 1/2 game lead now :cursing:
nope lol its funny cause i watched the first game and they won. now i guess i have to watch. :D i think we should win tonite. they sure lite up our picther last nite. i watched the highlights and it was a home run derby for them. they better pull up their socks and tighten their belts. i have to have some detroit team to watch since the lions
suck
the one thing that might help is minn has to play chicago yet. detroit should be able to squeeze it out. dunno. detroit has to play some good ball down the stretchyeah the Tigs will be in the post season It looks like it just depends on where they finish.
they played a good game last night. must be cause i was watching. ;)keep watching spoon ;)
we have to win the div. or i dont think we are gonna go anywhere.Thats what Im affraid of.
did you guys see that catch by Mags? He came to play in this series.
Well Im not sure where this Detroit team came from but I know where there going..............
THE PLAYOFFS !!!
yeah, that means the yankees get a bye the first round :laugh:not yet the Tigers are still in first. ;)
not yet the Tigers are still in first. ;)
by a whole 1/2 game ;) as fast as the gap has closed, thatll be cleared up tonight ;Dummm its 1.5 games :P Ohh wait you must mean overall :-\
ummm its 1.5 games :P Ohh wait you must mean overall :-\
not yet the Tigers are still in first. ;)Well I was refering to there division cause when the Tigers wrap that up they will play oakland not the Spanks in the first round :-*
Well I was refering to there division cause when the Tigers wrap that up they will play oakland not the Spanks in the first round :-*
yeah, but i doubt thatll happen ;)
lol, the twins have a 4 game stretch with KC, but the tigers finish against KC, lol its up in the air now, but for both teams watch out, KC may turn out to be a spoiler for someone ??? but the tigers probably will wrap it up because the twins finish with chicago :-\ who knows, the tigers could still win the AL outright :tipup:
i'd have to say the schedule is in the tigers favor but that is why they play all the games. ;D as far as ny yanks they should win every year with the money they spend to get a team. anything less i'd view as a failure if i was the one forking out all that cash. :o ;D
money buys high salaried players, not a team :tipup:
but isn't a high salary player suppose to be a high quality player.
key phrase, high quality "player" not "teamate" high paid means a great individual, like the old saying, there is no "I" in "team" :tipup:
sad but true :-\ you'd think with all that money one could be a team player.imo i think thats whats wrong with pro sports.most play for themselves and not the team.and too much money.i'd play for cents on their dollars to have that opportunity.
the problem is all the high priced guys want to show up the other high priced guys so when your down 1 in the bottom of the 9th with a guy on 2nd and 2 outs they try for the walk off instead of a base hit to get 1 run in and at least tie the game, they are too busy playing for stats instead of wins :-\ look at harrison and owens, all you hear is how great and much money owens deserves, mostly from him though :laugh: but if you break down stats him and harrison are similar, but if you break down wins, harrison has a HUGE edge :-\ but you never hear of him, and he isnt the top played player, but probably the top teamate to have in that position :tipup:i dont even want to commant on owens. >:( but what you just said is oh so true, i think thats why the tigers are as good as they are this yr. if you have been watching them lately they play as a team and not for themselves. hopefully they continue.lots of sac. bunts to move the baserunners and guys just trying to win for the team.i think something needs to said for the manager too.selfish play kills teams.
not sure why i went to football in this baseball thread ??? :laugh: im going crazy ;D
Spoon keep watching. ;D
5 games left, 1 game lead :tipup:1 game lead plus the tie breaker between Tigs & Twinks
Leyland is top notch for calling that one when he did.Wait untill the playoffs . ;) He knows the game and seems to know what the other manager is thinking.
Spoon keep watching. ;D
uh oh, i see a tie in the central with just 4 to go ;DNot good Arch, but I think two out three will do it for the Tigs , If not bring on the Yanks.
Not good Arch, but I think two out three will do it for the Tigs , If not bring on the Yanks.
Which brings me to my next question ....Has Any pitcher in MLB history ever pitched a no hitter and lost?
yeah, you guys close out with KC :tipup:
im not a statisticion but, i dont think you can loose with a no hitter, it would at least be a 0-0 tie no runs can score in a no hitter ???
the yanks scored last night before they got a hit.walks, errors, past ball.sac fly
lol, your right, its too early for me to think :laugh: i was thinking perfect game :-\
That must suck for him ;D
thanks arch
yeah, im in here picking on the tigers for loosing a lead, but they are in the playoffs and were one of the class acts of MLB this year :tipup: WHAT ABOUT THE CARDS :w00t: :blink: :wacko: they are on the verge of history :tipup:Yeah whats up with that theyve lost 8 out of 9 :o
Yeah whats up with that theyve lost 8 out of 9 :o
What about the Red Sox? Oh yeah, that's right... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
i thought detroit played really good last night...we just didnt get the runs....we played better then the twins..that much i know....i dont think the yankees are gonna sweep detroit...im not sure detroits gonna win the series..but its not gonna be a cake walk for the yankees.Flock have you been reading the local papers again ? You know I love the Tigers but cmon the yankees are way better at this point. there lineup is insane!!! all hitters 1-9 have at least 1 all-star appearance. If the Tigs win one game Ill be happy . Now if they can keep there pitching and get a few better batters with some speed then theyll have a shot. IMO GO TIGERS !!!
i think jeter is a better day to day player.he always shows up to play.5for5 with a homer.what a nite.
not only did we put them away but Rogers and Bonderman shut down the most potent offense in the league.You wont have to stay up. Im not sure how but all games start around 7:30 -8 o'clock.
Thats awesome.
Bring on Oakland. Hopefully I won't have to stay up until 3 am watching the late west coast games.
someone needs to fire Lou Piniella. That guy is so "censored wording" annoying
I could hardly watch the game last night. That guys almost as stupid and annoying as Madden! >:(
Also where did this Gomez guy come from? Always nice to have someone emerge from nowhere like that.
anyone know why tmrs game time got changed?
personally..id rather be sitting in the bar getting crazy rowdy at the persice moment the announcer screams "THE TIGERS HAVE WON THE WORLD SERIES!!"
Some nice "dirt Rogers has on his hand. Looks like pine tar to me.
Scandal in the making. ::)
dirt my arse, when you wash dirt off it doesnt stain your hand :D
there already talking about the umps, he should have been tossed imediatly and his hand and rag taken for exams, if it was "dirty" then its an automatic 10 game suspension, also dirt is a legal substance, if it was dirt why was he asked to wash his hands?
like i said before..he pitch's good without the smudge..why blemish the team like that.
the tigs did not look so good tonite. :unsure: we need to win game 4 or i think its over. i'm begining to wonder if that lay over is affecting us some. we just didn't seem like we came to play at all. not taking away the awesome pitching from carpenter, but we need to start hitting the ball !!!!
I'm so tired right now I can't even see straight! They should've called it a lot earlier than they did....that would've helped a little. Tonight might be a wash, too! ??? ???
Where di that Tigers team go?You think the tigers pitchers will be sick of feilding ground balls in the spring ? OH well there still young and should be right back next year. It was fun to watch. The best part is I didnt have to watch any lions or red wing games in between baseball and basketball LOL
One of the most bizarre postseasons in a while. The worst team wins it all.
no. it will be cleveland
whatever they do, we can't afford to lose Neifi Perez!
::) ::) ::) ::) 8) 8) 8) 8)
