Detroit Tigers 2006 season thread...

[The Man]

screw it if every other team gets a thread I'm starting one for the Tigers. Other Tiger fans feel free to join in. Well now we have fallen to 5-2 with Bonderman falling victim to the long ball today. Could Thome have stayed in the NL? He has always killed us. Need some others to step up (are you listening Dmitri?) as Shelton cools off. Pitching was awesome the first 5 and Rogers struggled yesterday and Bondo a little today. Have a bad feeling about Robertson tommorrow. He either is really bad or really good, I hope he can stop the Sox. Go Tigers.

Long suffering Tigers fan here. In exile though. I haven't cared about them since Cecil was hitting them out. Shame they couldn't get Prince Fielder...

I understand the frustration as every year I have high hopes and the season is virtually over by July (or earlier). I think the young pitching will be surprisingly good this year. Even if this season fizzles the future looks bright for the first time in awhile.

Tigers beat the Indians 5-1 and Rogers looked very sharp. Shelton keeps his hot bat w/ a 2B and a 3B.

Rogers again pitched well as the Tigers are rolling up the A's tonight 10-4 now. Tigers showed the ability to actually score runs without it being a HR. Nice to see base hits with men on base.

 

[The Man]

HUGE comeback win today with 3 in the 9th to beat the A's 4-3. 9-7 for the year, bring on Seattle.

Tigers win again and hit 8 HR's enroute to sweeping the Cubs. 46-24 so far, but can't shake the pesky White Sox. Go Tigers

Tigers are 9-1 in their last 10....but so are the ChiSox.

thats scary....that's the same thing I'm doing. how can you be down 2 games, go on a 9-1 tear, and still be down 2 fucking games?

The good thing is that, if you both keep playing well, you'll both make the playoffs, and, most importantly, bone either the Yankees or the Red Sox in the process.

eh, think how the Twins are feeling.

Tigers win today 5-0. Verlander throws 8 innings of shutout baseball and put himself in a nice spot for ROY. 29 games over .500 and going to Pittsburgh, should be 30 over going into All-Star break. Unbelievable.
