I AM A TIGERS FAN!!!

[Bubba Wheels]

Alright folks, time for all Tiger's fans to come out of the closet! Its been a long time coming, but things are finally looking up for us long-time sufferers. So in the spirit of the Mayo Smith Society (if you don't know, don't ask!) Say it in this thread here and now right up front at the beginnning of the season...

I AM A DETROIT TIGERS FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Honolulu_Blue]

Not a huge baseball fan, but I'm a Tigers' fan when I am. In fact, I am going to Opening Day on Monday. Should be fun.

[tarcone]

I'M A TIGERS FAN!!!!
i started watching and fell in love with baseball in 1976 when i was 8 yrs old.
That year Mark Fydrich burst on the baseball scene. I loved that guy and followed by loving the Tigers.
I, also, remember 1984, sitting at home with my brother and dad. watching the Tigers on TV. Jack Morris is pitching in the 1st week of the season. Throws a no-no. i was jumping around the house. On the spot i bet my brother the Tigers would win the WS. Loved that $10

[Joe]

[NoMyths]

Of which tiger are you a fan?

*hands Bubba an apostrophe remover*

[JeeberD]

Went to the game last night against the Rangers, they certainly looked good...

[Bearcat729]

The Tigers were my adopted AL team. I'll always root for them unless they happen to play the Reds.

[WSUCougar]

Somebody save this thread and bring it out again in oh, I dunno, July. ;)

Worked good on the message part, seems to have malfunctioned on the title, though.;)

[thealmighty]

You do realize that sweeping the Rangers will be no reason to assume you are any good against a legit team, right?

[PackerFanatic]

It is a crazy day in the world when the Tigers AND the Brewers are doing well.

GIve it time...heh...

[Honolulu_Blue]

You do realize that sweeping the Rangers will be no reason to assume you are any good against a legit team, right?

I fully understand that. The Royals and Rangers (especially when you are facing the bottom half of the Rangers' rotation) are not that impressive. At all. That said, these are the Tigers. They've pretty much been the worst team in baseball over the last 15 years or so. So being able to beat "lesser" teams and do so convincingly and mopping up on poor pitching is something long suffering fans will get excited about.

[Honolulu_Blue]

I also understand they've played about 1/40th, or so, of the season.

[DeToxRox]

We all know the Tigers have much to prove but I've been there through the thick and thin, and I am not backing out now. When we lost 119 games in 03 I still made it out to 30 games and this year will be 30 more. I listen to games not on TV and I am just as excited now as I was then.

I'm in for life.

[Router Help]

Chris Shelton is going to hit 250 home runs this year.

[Karlifornia]

Gotta pull for a fellow orange team.

[st.cronin]

Chris Shelton is going to hit 250 home runs this year.

And how many will he hit after batting practice is over, and the games begin?

[cmp]

Chris Shelton is going to hit 250 home runs this year.

Looks like he got bored with all the homers and decided to hit a few triples tonight. Amazing start to the season for him.

[Fouts]

Got the bb package on dish just in time to see the Angels take the first 2 from the Yankees. Man that is sweet.

[TLK]

How about them Tigers? :)

[Crapshoot]

Anyone else surprised that Bubba is coming out of the closet ? :D

[Schmidty]

I've been a Tiger fan through the good and the bad. I've spent hard earned money (games, MLB Extra Innings every year, merchandise, etc.), and it's nice to see some good times come around. I'm just annoyed by the bandwagoners.

Its weird I get more comments about my Mud Hens hat than wearing a Tiger shirt to a Phillies game.

Followed the game today online, it was great. Add to that, Sportscenter lead off with Tigers baseball.

[Schmidty]

Why? No one is saying the Tigers are even going to win the division, we're just happy that we're competitive again.

No reason to be a jerk.

[graygoosetwelve]

Missed the thread the first time through, but I'm a Tigers fan. Should be a great homestand...3 against the Indians, 4 against the Yankees, 3 against the Red Sox. Have good seats to the final Yankees game and the first 2 Red Sox games next weekend. Should be a great time. :)

[k0ruptr]

lol sorry wasnt trying to be a jerk, it was all in fun baseball competitive ness. and probably something to do with our lack of a WS in a whole lots of decades

[Schmidty]

Ok, that's cool. :)

I still don't think the Tigers will win the central, although I think it's possible. I do think there's a better than 50% chance that they'll at least win the WC, but even if they do, their lack of postseason experience would likely end them.

On the other hand, they could pull a White Sox.

[k0ruptr]

i personally would love to see the tigers get the wildcard instead of the yanks/redsox/indians

[Ragone]

Well, if the tigers could get mlb to let them play the royals for the remaining 110 games.. they probably would make the playoffs ;0

[Izulde]

I'm a White Sox fan, but I have to say, the Tigers fans deserve a lot of credit for the success they've had so far this year.

It should be an exciting race down to the end for the AL Central crown.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Here you again with this bandwagoners thing... You seeing a lot of "bandwagon" Tigers fans up there in Sunny Bellingham?

Here's how it works. Some fans accused of being bandwagon fans are actually just casual fans. Casual fans tend to get more vocal, buy more paraphenilia, etc., when a team is doing well. When a team is doing well, the city gets excited, local media covers said team, more merchandise is put out on the shelves, and thus casual fans start getting a little more die hard/hard core. (see, e.g., Detroit Red Wings 1970-current day).

You can be a fan of a team without spending hard earned money every year on MLB extra innings (or the Centre Ice Package or the NFL Sunday Ticket or whatever the NBA season pass is called) and team merchandise.

[bob]

Why do people care about bandwagon fans? Other than possibly making tickets tougher to get, what's the damage? More fans = greater chance to be on TV, more merchandise to choose from, more exposure for your team. Right?

I don't like what I percieve as bandwagoners. You disagree with me for your own various reasons.

I'm right and you're wrong. Now go to hell!!!!!! ;)

[Bubba Wheels]

35-14, tied Third Best Start in Detroit Tiger's history! GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JS19]

I'm not sure how Tigers attenadance was in the previous yrs but I am assuming its been low, how is it this yr with a club in 1st place?

[Schmidty]

35-14, tied Third Best Start in Detroit Tiger's history! GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're 34-14 Bubba. Don't get too excited.

You probably just jinked them, damnit.

[Bubba Wheels]

Attendance is booming and a sellout is expected on Memorial Day. Big article on that in today's Freep. I'll try to link it.

[Bubba Wheels]

They're 34-14 Bubba. Don't get too excited.

Relax, that was on Fox's pregame last night, and they won that game so its actually 36-14! If the TV can't jinx them I can't!

Leyland had a great line after the game, reporter asks him about 'playoff tickets,' Leyland says 'Well my cigarettes have filters on them, don't think that guy's did!" HA!:D

Yeah, I saw that live when they were interviewing him after the game, and after he said it all the reporters were cracking up, and Leyland just stared at them not smiling.

Kind of unrelated but, I am really getting sick of all the "Detroit is a ___________ town now/again!" headlines. Detroit is "Hockeytown", but you couldn't give tickets away in the 80's. Detroit is now a "basketball city" once again, yet you couldn't give tickets away in the mid/late 90's. Now Detroit is a "baseball town" again, but nobody gave a shit for the last decade.

IMO, if you want to label Detroit with one sport, it has to be football town. The Lions sell out every fricking game, and they haven't had a decent team in almost a decade. Not to mention you regularly get 100,000+ people into Michigan Stadium and 75,000+ into Spartan Stadium on the same day.

[Schmidty]

Detroit is now a "basketball city" once again, yet you couldn't give tickets away in the mid/late 90's.

Actually, I remember that, while the Palace very rarely sold out back then, it was usually close to 75% full. This was especially true after the '94-'95 season when Grant Hill started getting people to come back, and then the year after that, they started making the playoffs again. Sure they would lose in the 1st round everytime, but the seasons were exciting, and the Palace was pretty full.

Yeah, but they were ultra-cheap and the atmosphere was still pretty lame. There was little discussion of the team and most people didn't care.

Yes. The atmosphere sucked. I fell asleep at a game. I was sitting in my seat and actually slept for the last 6 minutes of the 2nd period. That's shameful.

You've got the right of it, Icey. I can't stand that whole "Hockeytown" thing. I hate it. Always have, always will. Detroit is a football town for all the reasons you mentioned. The city if Lions-crazy now and they are a freaking joke. If they were ever really good the place would go nuts.

[ice4277]

The city if Lions-crazy now and they are a freaking joke. If they were ever really good the place would go nuts.

Yep. I want that so bad, but I seriously wouldn't be surprised if I never saw it in my lifetime. Not as long as the Fords are owning the team.

You guys need to go into a maize and blue and make out.

Detroit is a sports town, period. Detroit is similiar to Chicago in that the Bulls made tons of fans in the 90's and still have sellouts because of that, like the Red Wings did. But if anyone asks Chicago is not a basketball town. Im sure Cubs fans say its a baseball town, Bears fans say its a football town. Regardless, like Detroit its a SPORTS town.

This is July now, isn't it?

[Greyroofoo]

So since the Red Wings finished with the best record in the NHL...
And the Pistons finished with the best record in the NBA...
And the Tigers currently have the best record in the MLB...

Does this mean things bode well for the Lions?

Someone told me that on a 'power scale' the Lions ranked next-to-last. Don't know if it was ESPN or not. Bottom line...Lions are ALWAYS bad. The worst team in football, any year, will make it to the super bowl before the Lions do.

Ha! I would gladly eat my words, but I have more of a chance winning the Big Game lottery!

[M GO BLUE!!!]

Mark my words.

The Lions will go 14-1-1.

Jon Kitna will pass for 4000+ yards
Jon Kitna will throw 35+ TD passes
Jon Kitna will throw 2 INT's
Kevin Jones will run for 1600 yards
Roy Williams will have 1000+ yards
Roy Williams will have 10+ TD's
Charles Rogers will mature
Mike Williams will mature
The O-line will block like a MF
Shaun Rogers will have 13+ sacks
The DE's will create pressure and shut down outside runs.
The LB's will smother the field on runs and passes.
Dre Bly will have 10+ picks.

The loss will be on a controversial fluke play that the new commissioner will admit was a mistake.

The tie will be the greatest game ever seen by mankind.

The Lions will lose their opening playoff game.

[TLK]

2 of 3 from the Sox..... wOOt.

Let's hope so. So far, since my triumphant return to the state of Michigan every Detroit team has finished in with the best record in their respective leagues.

Perhaps I should leave the state again come playoff time. . .

I went to a bar downtown here and watched 6 innings of the game. Good stuff. 3 pints of beer plus 2 Vodka/Red Bull shots. Needless to say this has not been my most productive afternoon on record.

I was servicing computers in an office where everyone was following the game online. It probably took me way too long to get my work done, but they weren't complaining either. :D

[Bubba Wheels]

Well, quite a day around here. Tigers win the rubber game 2-1. Local news shows Tom Hanks and Ron Howard, doing a baseball city tour, watching the game in the seats like real-life fans. Hanks even has a Detroit hat on.

Now the bad news. Channel 7 released the police report on Dimitri Young. Very very very very bad. Don't see how this guy will overcome that report even if he gets the rest of his act together to play again. I think its over for that guy, at least as far as the Tigers are concerned.

Report also says that on the fateful night of Young's episode another Tiger was in the bar and they dissappeared into a room alone for awhile. This could become a big, overriding distraction during the second half of the season. Hope not, doesn't look good though.

[SackAttack]

I think there's a third guy part of that Hanks/Howard tour. Not sure who it is, though.

What's this on Dmitri Young? I heard he was in rehab for an injury, but I hadn't heard anything about him getting in trouble with the police.

Don't want to break it all down now, suffice to say police report has lots of alcohol, drugs, physical abuse of Young's 21 yr old girlfriend and much cell phone throwing/breaking. Report should be out on internet soon enough.:(

Dennis Miller and a few other people are also along for the ride. They came to Cincinnati the other day. I think it is to celebrate Hanks 50th brithday

Tried watching ESPN the other night while out of town to catch the Tiger's highlights. You would have thought that the Yankees had already started post-season play and that the Tigers weren't even around anymore.

ESPN, all the sports news you would ever want if you live in New York or Boston.

[TLK]

Unbelievable

[SuperGrover]

Unbelievable

Ahh, not really. Carmona's done that the last five times out. The Indians bullpen is TERRIBLE.

Why are they resting Verlander? Tired arm? Sounds a little shady to me.

The plan in Detroit all along was to add Maroth and use a 6 man rotation through Aug-Sept to rest Verlander some. Maroth wont be back until Sept. at the earliest and this is the solution. Expect Verlander to skip at least 1 more start before the season ends, to rest him a bit.

[Greyroofoo]

While not specifically Tiger related, I would just like to say the Tigers top farm team, the World Famous Toledo Mud Hens, are now back-to-back IL champs.

That is all. W0ot!!!1!

[cmp]

I wasn't born yet when the Tigers won the series in 84 so this is my first time seeing them win any type of postseason series. Wow, this is awesome.

This is nothing short of amazing. No matter how this ends... it was an excellent season.

[sterlingice]

Congrats to long suffering Tiger fans :)

SI

[Wasabiak]

Jim Leyland should go down as one of the best managers ever. Congrats Tiger fans.

[SFL Cat]

Leyland won one with our Marlins, and now he has a chance to win another with the Tigers. If they do win, a great way to end his career.

[Bubba Wheels]

Leyland won one with our Marlins, and now he has a chance to win another with the Tigers. If they do win, a great way to end his career.

Yes, and what is even more interesting...should Leyland win the World Series with Detroit he would become only the second manager in history to win a World Series with both an AL and an NL team. The first being Sparky Anderson with Cincinnati and then Detroit. :) :) :)

GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bosshogg23]

Great game, awesome celebration by the Tigers. I haven't ever seen a team celebrate with the fans as much as this.

I was on the phone with my brother, who was at the game for most of the evening. Supposedly another 50,000 people are outside the stadium partying/watching(street level can see the field in a SMALL part of the stadium).

[JeffNights]

Yes, awesome celebration when they sprayed the fans with the bubbly...Also, anybody catch when Kenny Rogers went on top on the dugout and poured champagne on that State Trooper?

Sweet.

[k0ruptr]

ill remember to bump this at the end of the season when the chisox repeat.


I better come here too and give you guys all the props in the world, you deserve it, we didnt have it this year and you did. Great season TIGERS! I really hope it continues, celebrate as much as you can tigers fans!

[miami_fan]

Congratulations Tigers fans!

[Ksyrup]

That was the most fun I've had watching a baseball game since I don't know when. It was like watching the Sox beat the Yanks in Game 7 a couple of years ago, except I really cared about the team kicking the Yanks' asses. If they can find a way past the As, they've got a legit shot at winning it all, because from what I've seen of the NL, they all suck.

[DeToxRox]

Being there tonight .. words can't describe it. For fifteen minutes after the final out no one in our section left. It was as if everyone was taking it. So surreal.

[Ksyrup]

I wasn't born yet when the Tigers won the series in 84 so this is my first time seeing them win any type of postseason series. Wow, this is awesome.

The '84 season was amazing. Saturday night, with Rogers pitching the game of his life, Ernie Harwell in the booth, and Dox showing Gibson's HR vs. the Pads...just brings back all sorts of memories for me.

[Greyroofoo]

World Series bound biznatches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DeToxRox]

This might be cliche but it still hasn't sunk in yet. As someone whos been a die hard fan who goes to 30 + games a year what they're doing doesnt seem real at all. Four more wins. Unreal.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

I'm still in shock myself. Wow!

[Ksyrup]

That was awesome!

Anyone have an in for some decently-priced tickets?

ESPN Poll (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/fp/flashPollResultsState?sportIndex=frontpage&pollId=39931)

83% to 17% nationwide poll that believes the Tigers will win the World Series. The only state that didn't believe in the Tigers is Missouri and it has 48% for Detroit.

The remaining tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10AM.... might be an option.

[Oilers9911]

Being a Blue Jays fan I HATED, no, LOATHED, the Tigers in the 80s and 90s. Now that we are no longer in thw same division and with both teams being mediocre to abysmal in the past number of years the hatred has subsided and I now find myself actually cheering for Detroit. Congrats to the Tigers and their fans. A buddy of mine that I haven't seen for many years is a Tigers fan and we used to have WARS in high school about the Tigs and the Jays. I think I may call him up and say congrats to him as well.

[Bubba Wheels]

Let the games begin!

[ice4277]

I bought in on a 27-game pack this year. Looking forward to it.
