Tigers win it all this year!

[IrishofNDMan]

this team is no fluke, they are for real and will win it all this year. Great article on espn.com about them, what a fun team they were to watch everynight and to go see last year. Can't wait to go to Comerica Park again this year and to hear the roar of the stadium as Sheff nails one out!

Can't wait to see them lose again. You people in Michigan were so annoying last fall.

I'd actually be happier if they made it back to the World Series only to lose again. It was so strangely satisfying for me last year. I know it's mean, but oh man was I sick of listening to all that **** right after moving here. About how great they were blah blah blah. They got lucky.

they got lucky??? Do you know anything about baseball?? So all the games they won were luck?

and what was annoying about people being excited and proud that baseball is back in Detroit. That was a fun team to watch, and this years team is even better. The majority of managers in the league admit that the Tigers are a very powerfull team and will be tough to beat this year.

Because, my God, they had one good season after a run of embarrassing (that word might not be harsh enough) excuses for baseball seasons. Then everyone is set to annoint them the saviors of Detroit and claim that baseball "is back" in Detroit.

Well see how "back" in Detroit it is when they don't even make the playoffs this year.

Um, in case last year was the first time you've watched Tigers baseball, let me make a comparison for you. It would be like Zippy Chippy coming out of retirement to win one race, and Pointgiven1985 saying "Zippy Chippy is back! I would say that he should be a major player in the Handicap division this year."

Baseball is back in Detroit, and I have followed them for as long as I can remember, even back to that 100+ lose season. This team is built to be Champions, just take a look at their lineup and rotation and tell me it doesn't look good.

Don't compare baseball to horse racing, it is different. Look at the NFL, the Patriots had a few not so good years, then they win the superbowl and ever since have been considered "back". After this year, you will know that the Tigers are back!

No, obviously you don't get that far on sheer luck. But that season, in my humble opinion, will continue to be the exception for them, not the rule. So they got lucky and had a good season, it happens all the time to teams.

Baseball may not be my very favorite sport to follow, but I'm not buying the hype. If they were so good, the Cardinals wouldn't have posed a problem, a five game problem at that.

read the article on the main page, my point is, people love saying this team had one good year, and it was a fluke. This team is no fluke, they are just Damn good. Their lineup is powerful, even moreso with the add of Sheff, and their Pitching staff is full of young talent that has developed into studs. Bondo, Verlander, Zoom Zoom!

OHHHHHHH BOYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
