Texsox Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Thought I would open up a specific place for the upcoming series. I've always liked how Detroit supports the Tigers and any baseball fan that had an opportunity to hear Ernie Harwell call a game was in for a treat. A great Hall of Fame announcer.

Rex Kickass Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I agree. In the last five years, they lost Ernie and gained a gimpy Maggs, a great old ballyard and an "ok" Comerica Park. I got respect for Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sure how that would be taken by the guys here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangercal Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Since we have a tiger section already, does this mean we are skipping a twins section? (which is our next series) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I do have a question for the Tiger fans... and this isn't to start anything. I am wondering how you felt when you read or heard Dmitri Young's comments about the Indians being the Tigers only competition?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitWhat Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I was a little suprised by the comments by Dmitri. Of course, I don't agree with what he said. There is no way this is a race between the Indians and the Tigers. The Twins are the most complete team in the Central and one of the best teams in the league. Sox are close behind. I see the Tigers and Indians competing for third place, but not first. No way. I do like Dmitri's effort in trying to be a vocal leader and rallying the team, but I hope that in the future he thinks a little bit more about what he says.

Texsox Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 I could list a scenario that any team but the Royals would win the central. All four of these teams are relatively thin in key areas and have question marks in others. If someone catches fire and stays healthy, it could be almost anyones division. Now, it would take a bigger hit to slow Minny or the Sox, than Cleveland or Detroit. I thought that Detroit needed Maggs to be, well Maggs.

YASNY Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Hi to all the Tigers' fans. I just wanted to say that one of my all time favorite non-Sox teams was the '68 Tigers. I loved to watch that team play baseball. I was fortunate enough to see a game in old Tiger Stadium before the Tigers moved (a Sox victory, btw). I kept looking at that short porch and could easily imagine Kaline playing out there. I have a deep appreciation for history, so it was great to have seen one of the great old ballparks before it's demise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
