"Forget the other teams," Young said to the strains of "Cripple Creek," "it's going to come down to us and Cleveland. No disrespect to the Twins and White Sox, I just feel that club, the doggone Indians, is going to be the thorn in our side."

 

That quote from today's Detroit News blew my mind. I guess a .500 start has the Tigers thinking big.

Dmitri Young knows a lot about contending for a division.

 

He's played for a lot of great teams, including the Reds and Detroit, who have been to a lot of World Series lately.

 

This was just about the dumbest comment I've ever read.

 

Gardenhire will post that and the Twins will give Detroit a beating.

 

Personally, I've got Detroit finishing 4th in this division, especially as long as Maggs stays "sick" with a "viral infection" (bone marrow edema).

I think the royals are the other team thats gonna be right there at the end.

Remember last year when everyone said the Royals were gonna win the division or be "right there at the end". What was their final record?

 

Oh yeah.

I think the royals are the other team thats gonna be right there at the end.

 

I agree. The Royals will be right there at the end .... of the standings.

What's with all this crap?

 

I honestly hope the Twins go and sweep the Tigers now.

I'm not going that far. I still want the Tigers to sweep the Twins. The Tigers haven't played us. What Dmitri Young said is nonsence, I'm guessing their team won't be there in the end. I don't believe they have enough pitching and their lineup is so top heavy.

Who cares what Dmitri Young has to say? He is a nobody anyway.

Now THAT's comedy.

It's amazing how Magglio's presense has filled their minds with delusions.

 

We have the best rotation in the ALC, & 2nd best bullpen yet we're not a factor in this race. Ummm .. ok

"Forget the other teams," Young said to the strains of "Cripple Creek," "it's going to come down to us and Cleveland. No disrespect to the Twins and White Sox, I just feel that club, the doggone Indians, is going to be the thorn in our side."

 

You, see kids, this is your brain on drugs...

As long as the Twins have a healthy Hunter, Stewart, Santana, Radke, Nathan and Rincon, they are the team to beat.

 

The Tigers are improved, no question. But Percival has worn down the last few seasons. Bonderman and Maroth aren't there yet. And Maggs has certainly suffered from a lot of strange afflications lately.

 

Maybe the Tigers will be there. But I'd like to see them make it out of April with a winning record before they talk too much.

 

As for Dmitri, he's not even the best hitter in his family.

i agree, there pitching sucks. everyone says the tigers have a real good chance to win. they also say pitching is what wins games. who the hell would take the tigers pitching staff over ours? there number two pitcher is Maroth!

>dmitri has no right what so ever to say the sox and twins wont win it it. last time i checked, the sox and twins have finished 1st and 2nd the last few yrs.

>i dont think the tigers can manufacter runs.

dimitri.... :headshake

>the tigers are not gonna improve by 20 wins(they had like 70 last yr, probably take 90 at the least) just cuz they got maggs and percival.

f*** the kittens.

I think the royals are the other team thats gonna be right there at the end.

 

Not with their AAA-quality pitching.

That quote from today's Detroit News blew my mind.  I guess a .500 start has the Tigers thinking big.

I assume he means it's going to come down to them and the Indians for 3rd place, no?

I love how he says "no disrespect."

If the Indians and Tigers finish 1-2 in the divison I will make love to Dimitri Young...

 

 

Dear God please don't let them do it.

I'll watch you.

Deal, because it is not gonna happen.

whats interesting is he has a point... i just looked at the runs each team has scored so far...

 

Twins are LAST and we're 3rd to LAST... Guess who's first in the AL?

 

Detroit... who knows guys... anything is still possible

Yeah, but that Triple A pitching staff is going to hurt them.

This is a pretty stupid quote from Young, unless.... he means the battle for third place

 

Detroit's pitching is still weak with Bonderman, Robertson, and Ledezma still learning.

MIKE MAROTH IS AWWSOME

Ya, we were 3rd in the league last year in runs scored, that didn't get us very far.
