September 14, 200619 yr Middle of 8th: 11-3 Texas Lookin' like we're going to be back to where we were after Monday's games. 3 teams within 3 games. Its getting tight in here.
September 14, 200619 yr Pretty soon, I hope, I'll be able to take this damn Tigers line from my signature. I stil believe in the Sox.
September 14, 200619 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) Sorry, this Tigers team is not scaring ANYONE right now. So, wait, you mean it's not possible for a team to keep an .800 winning % all year long? I'm not saying they're done, they could certainly catch fire and turn it around, but EVERY team slumps and they are slumping at the worst time. Liriano is done for the year. It's gonna be a fun three weeks.
September 14, 200619 yr Done deal. Texas winner. After 9/13's action... DET -- MIN +1.5 CHI +3.0 On August 7th, just over a month ago, this was... DET -- CHI +10.0 MIN +10.5 Team records since that date: DET: 11-22 MIN: 20-14 CHI: 19-17 Well, everyone expected a DET slump at some point. They're in it. Question with DET is, will they snap out of it? For MIN, it's can they keep this up without Liriano and Radke, and playing a bunch on the road? And for CHI, for the love of all holy things, are they going to play up to their potential? Its interesting to note that the Sox' 19-17 record since that date, while nothing spectacular, is not the utter ineptitude that some fans here have painted.
September 22, 200619 yr If the Tigers end up losing the divsion title, it could be the worst collapse in Tiger history.
September 22, 200619 yr I suspect that the Tigers will only be playing about 3 more games than the White Sox.
September 23, 200619 yr QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 22, 2006 -> 05:49 PM) I suspect that the Tigers will only be playing about 3 more games than the White Sox. 1.5 games up, won the season series with Oakland, Magglio and Granderson are both crushing the ball again...I like our chances to at least get out of the first round, although the Yankees all star lineup...ugh

Really, the Tigers had every opportunity to run away with the central. The how team usually goes the farthest. By my estimation, the Tigers are the least hot. Especially if they go into the playoffs as the wild card.

You mean kind of like how Chicago had every chance to run away with it last year and needed the last week to clinch as well...how'd that work out for you guys.......don't discount the Tigers this year.....their pitching from top to bottom is better than any team in the league.....polanco is coming back today, and their hitters are getting hot again.........say what you want, but I like the way the Tigers are starting to play again as the season winds down.....

Well see after the first week of October is up. The tigers still don't even have home field.
September 24, 200619 yr Well see after the first week of October is up. The tigers still don't even have home field. No they don't have homefield....but they'll be in the playoffs at a minimum....and I'll take that over the alternative anyday.....
September 24, 200619 yr The Tigers continue to back into the playoffs with another narrow victory over Kansas City, we now merely have the best record in MLB and have won 7 of our last 10 while scoring 33 runs in the last three games.
September 24, 200619 yr The Tigers are in the playoffs. That is quite a turnaround. At the end of last season, things didn't look so good. For White Sox fans sakes, hopefully their pitching will do similar things in 2007 to the White Sox staff did in 2006. The grim reaper is circling the White Sox as the Twins magic number for a tie is 1 and for a playoff spot is 2.
September 24, 200619 yr Figure I'll go out of my way... Congrats to the Tigers fans. I just wish the Sox had a chance to play with them in October. Maybe next year.
September 24, 200619 yr Congrats Detroit, I'd rather see you win than the Twins. Thanks guys....it's been a long time coming......go take care of Minn for us will ya!!
September 25, 200619 yr If a team from the AL central gets to the World Series I would rather it be the Tigers than the Twins
September 25, 200619 yr Congrats to Detroit, they bent but did not break. Now I hope both they and the Twins play exactly three more games than the white sox this season. (bitter? who...me?)
September 25, 200619 yr I got a feeling Detroit is going to surprise a lot of people in the playoffs.
September 25, 200619 yr QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 25, 2006 -> 05:32 PM) I got a feeling Detroit is going to surprise a lot of people in the playoffs. manage to lose the series in 2 games?
September 26, 200619 yr Congrats Twins and Tigers your team showed more heart than ours. Off topic: Im rootin Philly if they make it, well Pro NL in general.
