Off Topic: CENTRAL DIVISION CHAMPION 2011 Detroit Tigers Discussion

lineygoblue · March 31st, 2011, 09:52 AM

Well, with the opening of Baseball season, its time for a Detroit Tigers thread. Most of us have ties to the state of Michigan, and the Tigers are an important part of that. I hope to take in a game or two at Comerica this year. Go Tigers!

Michael Pitts · March 31st, 2011, 12:00 PM

Go Tigers!

lineygoblue · March 31st, 2011, 04:19 PM

Well, not such a good start, but nobody expected 162 and 0

Mike · April 1st, 2011, 12:22 PM

I did. This is bullshit!

lineygoblue · April 1st, 2011, 12:33 PM

LOL!! Aim high, my friend...

Mike · April 1st, 2011, 12:37 PM

They have to impress the pollsters with these inter-division games against top competition.

lineygoblue · April 1st, 2011, 02:28 PM

But of course. How else is there to determine a legitimate champion?

lineygoblue · April 2nd, 2011, 04:00 PM

Well, the Tigers are putting up absolutely no fight at all in New York. Its a "Lets See How Great The Yankees Are" weekend in New York.

Yankee fans are going to think they have a good team after playing the Tigers this week.

Mike · April 4th, 2011, 11:21 AM

At least we got out of there with a win. Would have been awful to get swept right out of the gate.

lineygoblue · April 4th, 2011, 03:46 PM

Yeah, and now they head to Baltimore. The Orioles started with a sweep over the Rays.

Mike · April 5th, 2011, 12:50 AM

Break up the Orioles. Seriously, though, how tough is the AL East? It's ridiculous.

*JD* · April 7th, 2011, 01:15 AM

Nice win tonight.

lineygoblue · April 7th, 2011, 12:46 PM

I hope they play better when they get to Detroit.

Mike · April 8th, 2011, 11:21 AM

Night game on the road before the home opener is stupid. Who scheduled that? Gary Bettman?

lineygoblue · April 8th, 2011, 12:27 PM

Its got his fingerprints all over it, eh?

Michael Pitts · April 9th, 2011, 10:24 AM

4:10PM start time today. Let's get back to .500.

Phil Coke v. Bruce Chen.

Cabrera is 8 for 14 (.571) with three homers and seven walks against Chen.

jaadam4 · April 10th, 2011, 11:19 AM

Coke actually pitched well enough.. Just no friggin run support. I sure hope Jackson starts hitting or this team is in trouble.

lineygoblue · April 10th, 2011, 12:32 PM

We need 5-6 guys to start hitting.

jaadam4 · April 11th, 2011, 02:54 AM

Losing to the Royals in our home opener is a f'ing disgrace

Mike · April 12th, 2011, 01:08 PM

I thought we won the home opener 5-2.

You know you're off to a bad start when the Tigers' own website says they are 3-7 when they are actually 3-6.
