The last time Detroit featured that kind of pitching . . . sauce1977 October 8 2006, 05:50:48 UTC

. . . it was 1984.

Detroit Tigers . . . local media . . . you need a new theme.

I've never been a sports fan, but that piece was awesome. It touched my heart. Sorry about your grandpa.

Thank You. sauce1977 October 8 2006, 07:24:04 UTC

Nobody trying to live picks their time to go.

It was unfortunate, but this was one of those things he most loved. For me, this season's for him. They didn't do him wrong.

Thanks for the response.

Congrats on the Big Win. To both you and your grandfather. I fully believe he is still watching them. My uncle is still watching his teams.

Thanks.

These games proved just as much magical as anything . . . Tigers rose up in sort of a perfect storm and seized the opportunity.

Thanks.

The Yankees defeat doesn't sting quite as much as the stink that rose from the Pistons post-season series with Cleveland. I was convinced that LeBron and a team of scrubs were going to bounce the Pistons. Ben Wallace played like shit, and then he went Scarface-greedy for the cash. More power to him, in one way, but the recent mouthing in the press is pushing the limit for what little fans he has left in Detroit.

I don't really understand the A-Rod situation. For the money, regular season play from him . . . outstanding. Is it a lack of clutch hitting that makes him in lesser regard than the rest?

If the Yankees had been rocked by a wild-card team barely above .500 . . . then it's time to abandon ship. Tigers were legit enough of a club to make the series respectable.

At this point, I am thinking it's a pitcher's duel possibility for the Oak/Det series. If the Yankees had either pitching staff . . . with that batting lineup . . . they'd probably be rolling along like the 1998 club.

I'm not too comfy with this "Torre's outta here" business.

If that's what Steinbrenner's cooking, then I don't know what direction NYY is headed.

Torre's been a great manager. This isn't a case of needing a change . . . it's needing pitching.

that last pic made me smile whe i saw it on tv last night. i was at the gym and just started cheering out loud.

go Tigers!

I'll stick it out to the end this year . . .

As far as I'm concerned, however, there's only one really decent owner in Detroit pro sports. That's Bill Davidson.

It felt so good to be sitting at Chili's for a belated birthday dinner, to look up, and notice the Tigers were celebrating on TV. Baseball and hockey are not my sports. I'm kinda used to limited Red Wings success. But nothing like this from the Tigers. Watching it go down...I was real happy. More like proud, in fact. We're goin to the 2nd round...better than the Red Wings, at any rate, and a very good story for the city of Detroit ( ... )

This is the same grandfather as the post back in early August . . . this was his team.

Penn State, Iowa, and Ohio State . . . likely loss there somewhere.

Knowing Carr, it's the Iowa game.
