August 2, 200619 yr I wouldn't say Detroit "is starting to collapse a little." We are not out of it, but we're also not a lock to win anything, not even the wild card.
August 2, 200619 yr QUOTE(Jake @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 10:56 PM) Steff can you give me a link to that statement? Not that I'm doubting your honesty I just can't prove to my dad that he said that with a post on a message board. Many thanks. Sure, I'll look for it for ya. Though if you did you'd probably find it before me. I'm busier than a one armed paper hanger today and leaving town tomorrow until Sunday night.

August 2, 200619 yr QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) Alright, I'm on board. I was very encouraged by Buehrle's outing last night. Love the Brian Anderson avatar.

August 3, 200619 yr QUOTE(tigerfan1995 @ Aug 3, 2006 -> 11:12 AM) Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock... does this mean you were a Tigers fan since 1995? let me ask this, and be honest. Were you a cub fan until this year and have now become Tigger?
August 3, 200619 yr does this mean you were a Tigers fan since 1995? let me ask this, and be honest. Were you a cub fan until this year and have now become Tigger? you got it right. i've been a Tiger fan since 1995 (8 years old). in fact, the bandwaggon tiger fans piss me off. i bet they don't remember the White Sox-Tiger brawl from a few years ago. but i'm going to work for now. i'll be back to possibly discuss baseball later with you guys

August 4, 200619 yr The Twins lead the hapless Royals 6-0 in the second. My guess is Minnesota will sweep those chumps in a four game series and that will be big for the Twins as they vie for the wild card. Edited August 4, 200619 yr by greg775
August 14, 200619 yr Author Im back after a week long bullshaat suspension. Here ya go negative sox fans, remember about 10 days ago when I posted this? Now maybe you believe in your team. I was also terribly disapointed when I went to Sunday's game. I sat on the aisle (left field/3rd base line) and countless fans walked right past my view during pitches and at bats. Obviously a real baseball fan knows you can only go down the ailse if it is in between: (1) batters (2) during a pitching change (3) innings Do we really want these type of fans at the park? Sure they are buying tickets and supporting the team, but come on, I couldn't even watch the game half the time. Where are the ushers stopping this?

HELL MOTHERf***ING YEAH!
August 14, 200619 yr agreed...there are some really inconsiderate (or worse ignorant) people at games when it comes to moving in the aisle, etc. At the game friday there was a family of 3 in front of me and they kept on moving the whole game, the guy also held up his cell phone to someone to hear the crowd. I don't know what you gain by holding your phone up like an idiot, the noise level is the same as if you were to hold the phone next to you. A good "down in front" usually startles/angers them...

I don't give a crap what their money pays for... that doesn't give them a right to act like douchebags at the park. Common effing courtesy goes a long way these days. If they can enforce the no walking down rule at other parks, they can enforce it at the cell. It's not whining... it's expecting others to not be so rude. It seems accepting this behavior has become commonplace these days.. but not by me, and not by many others I know and that sit around us.

Being a good fan doesn't just mean knowing your starting line up, it also includes how to act at US Cellular Field and beyond. If you have a question on etiquette, ask a hockey fan about hockey rules for getting up and sitting down during a game. Follow those, and you won't go wrong.

August 15, 200619 yr amazing how not that long ago folks were throwing in the towel now we are not just going for the wild card, but the division. Heck I was even thinking about just shooting for the wildcard, now Im on the "go for the division" bandwagon.
