April 10, 200818 yr Tigers look like they are about to win finally. Up 6-2 in the 8th. Boston is awful right now.
April 10, 200818 yr Yep, Tigers finally won tonight. May lead to a streak. Who knows. They looked good.
April 10, 200818 yr QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 07:12 PM) Yeah and nearly everyone on this board thought the season was going to be over, and even in September the playoffs started to be questioned with Cleveland's surge. Point is we're roughly 5% into the season with 95% left, so it's far from over. In terms of football it's basically like Detroit as lost the first game of the year and the season's over. It's far from other I won't count them out. I still think the Tigers are the team to beat in the AL Central. The Indians don't look better than they were last year, and the Twins won't be very good. The White Sox and Royals will definitely win more games than they did last year.
April 10, 200818 yr The 2008 Tigers are likely not on the 2005 Sox' level regardless of said skids, so that point is probably moot.
April 10, 200818 yr Author Tiggers get off the schneide....time to win the series tomorrow for both Soxes....and then we get another chance to beat up on the Tiggers.

April 11, 200818 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 08:48 PM) The 2008 Tigers are likely not on the 2005 Sox' level regardless of said skids, so that point is probably moot. If they ever start hitting, they could be the 2000 Sox. But if they even get to the playoffs, their pitching (especially their bullpen) will keep them from advancing.
April 11, 200818 yr Their bullpen has nobody that would most certainly make the Sox bullpen NOBODY! As a matter of fact McDougal or Thorton would be their top set-up candidates. Doug Jones sucks!

April 11, 200817 yr QUOTE (Disco72 @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 04:53 PM) Someone had to follow up with that...thanks Pants! Anything for a disco ball.
April 11, 200817 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 11, 2008 -> 01:22 PM) Todd Jones appreciates that Forgive me, I was on a roll.
April 13, 200817 yr Here is how bad this season s for the Tigers: It was projected that 90 wins could win the central. So, that's a .556 winning percentage. If they lose today, they are 2-10. Winning .556 percent of their remaining gamess they'd only win 85 games this year. To win 90 games, that's have to play the equivalent of a 95 win season. Anyone think this team was going to win 95 games? I doubt it.
April 13, 200817 yr picked up this nugget at the ever entertaining motowntigers.com Red Wings scored 43 goals in their first twelve games of the season. Tigers have scored 33 runs in their first twelve.

April 14, 200817 yr Author The next 28 games (which will be 40 games total) are brutal for the tiggers: Yankees 6 times, Twins 5 times, Jays & Red Sox 4 times each, Rangers & Angels 3 times each, Indians twice and Royals once, AND they have only 2 off days scheduled between now and then. With their BP, it could be ovah by 1/4 season.

With their BP, it could be ovah by 1/4 season. I wouldn't say it is over, but it will be an almost insurmountable hurdle to overcome. The Yankees were 21-29 after 50 last year and ended up in the playoffs, so anything can happen. Either way it is nice to see them struggling so bad.
April 14, 200817 yr Detoilet's playoff odds down to 4.4%. Wow that was fast. Their remaining Strength of Schedule is .523.
April 15, 200817 yr Looks like the Kitties offense has woken up. 7 runs 13 hits thus far threatening to tie it up at 9 versus the Twinkies.
April 15, 200817 yr they're definitely poised to go on a roll, thank god they're done w/ us for awhile.
