Detroit Tigers

The Tigers are doing very well, 1st place. I think it helps that we don't have a lot of injuries to our main guys, basically just Young. That Verlander is doing good. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Well, at least he wouldn't get a no-hitter although he had that kind of stuff, reaching 99 mph when he wanted to, all night long."I've never had a starting pitcher throw 99 [mph] in the ninth inning that I recall," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.</div><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%">mlb.com</span>

The Tigers have a huge shot to join the post-season. I think they will.

The Tigers win again. They are amazing, I think they have a legit chance at the World Series now!

Three game losing streak. Ah. Get it together Tigers. We almost came back on the Yankees but then allowing 5 runs in the 11th isn't going to cut it. I'm not worried but I want the first seed in the playoffs, and losing 3 straight isn't going to get us there.

Leyland is amazing he turns the 97 Marlins into Champs and could possibly do the same thing with the Tigers

I'm not sure if the Tigers will win the world series, but they definitely have a legit shot.

Tough loss for the Tigers last night. My favorite Jew Kevin Youkilis hits a 2 out 2 run homer off of Todd Jones to put the sox ahead 3-2 in the top of the 9th, and Jon Papelbon comes in to close it.BTW, the RoTY race this year is going to be ill. Between Verlander and Papelbon its going to be close. I'd give the edge to Papelbon right now, as he is 20-20 in saves and has allowed ONLY one run, and ONLY 17 baserunners in the 28 innings he's pitched. But I believe at the end of the year Verlander will be right there. He's the real deal, and will be a solid starter for the Tigers for years.

8 home runs today for the Tigers. That ties for the club record. The offense has caught up to the pitching now, and I think that equals the potential for one nasty baseball team.I think we have two young pitchers that in the future could be all stars. Verlander and Zumaya are two young studs, and the I love how the Tigers have built their farm system with these great young guys, this teams future is bright.Heres to the World Series.

Ivan Rodriguez with the walk off home run today and it was the second night in a row the Tigers came back against the Indians in late inning dramatic fashon. I love the way they are playing these days and can't wait for the playoffs.

Everyone, including me, thought the Tigers would drop off at one point and be snapped back to reality. Well, the reality is, they are a legit title contender and shouldn't be taken lightly any more. Go Leyland, our biggest off-season acquisition besides Rogers.
