    Game 38 Tigers vs. redsox May 17

    It's shaping up to be a hell of a year for us! The Tigers look real good this season, so let's enjoy this and hope this is the year we win a World Series again. Go Tigers!!

    Game 35 - Tigers vs. Orioles - May 13, 7:05 PM, Camden Yards

    Batting average is almost garbage altogether. OPS is the best measure of a hitter. Remember when Deivi Cruz led our team in batting average in 2000 with a .302 or something like that? Whatever it was, he was still by no means helpful on offense for us. I'd rather have a guy that hits .230 but...

    Stan Van Gundy New coach and president

    Wouldn't mind replacing Monroe with a SF who can shoot and rebound. We could use a stretch 4, and while I hated seeing Smith jack up threes as a SF, I might be open to seeing him doing it as a PF. Monroe is a terrible defender, and he has zero range as a shooter. As bad a signing as Josh Smith...

    Pistons Pursuing Stan Van Gundy

    I'd be thrilled to have Stan Van Gundy here running things. He's a winner and we've had a lot of slouches here for the past 5 seasons. The only player on our roster that I like and fully believe to be instrumental in winning is Andre Drummond (jury's still out on KCP). SVG would have his work...

    Red Wings acquire David Legwand

    I like Legwand's game a whole lot, and he has looked very nice as a Wing so far, but this was not a great trade for us. Regardless of what happens with Jarnkrok (goes to Sweden, stays, fails, succeeds), not only did we give up him, but we also gave up a 2nd or 3rd round pick for a 33 year old...

    Wings 2 Oilers 1 shootout Final

    We won a game that we were expected to win, so that's at least a good thing. I've gotta admit though, this game shouldn't have been so close. I hate to nitpick, but if we're to make the playoffs, this game should have been decided in regulation by 2 goals. The Oilers are crap, and if we have...

    Tigers 8th in loyal fanbase

    I can agree with 8th. We had a really lousy 15-year stretch into the mid 00's but since then, we've rebounded nicely. I graduated high school in '03. My classmates gave me a lot of shit about being such a big Tiger fan all through high school but within a few years after, a majority of those...

    Team HR and SB facts

    LOL yeah, maybe not as good as I remembered. But the SB/CS ratio doesn't change the way I remember him for knowing when to stretch a single into a double, or a double into a triple. He was a very good baserunner.

    Team HR and SB facts

    Bobby Higginson was a very good baserunner in that way. I mean not by speed, but more with fundamentals.

    Team HR and SB facts

    I had to google AJs stats to see your point, and I see that his percentage has fallen off the last couple of years. For the amount of speed he has, he should have a much higher success rate. His first two seasons (combined 49 SB against 11 CS) were solid enough, but in 2012 and 2013 (combined 20...

    Team HR and SB facts

    I'm all for anything that puts a runner closer to home plate. Every steal puts a runner in scoring position. As long as we're not getting thrown out at a high percentage, it's a positive.

    Way back machine: Doug Brocail

    Yeah Mitch, it's nice to see Ausmus back again. He should do really well. This upcoming season oughta be a lot of fun given all the change (I liked all of it besides the Fister trade).

    Rumor: AJax for Gardner?!?!?

    Austin Jackson is that player who is just right on the line where it makes sense to defend him at times and temper other people's expectations at other times. Also, I've been a huge advocate of us trading for Gardner in year's past because his skill-set was what I thought the Tigers needed...

    Way back machine: Doug Brocail

    I remember Brocail, and I remember when we traded him. I remember in 9th grade sitting with a couple of buddies and weighing out the pros and cons of getting Meluskey, Holt, and Cedeno but giving up Ausmus, Brocail, and Nelson Cruz (who I think had some kind of no-runs-given-up streak or...

    Tigers aren't getting Choo, okay already?

    Bad contracts are bad contracts. There's no use throwing a ridiculous amount of money/length at a free agent who's on the wrong of 30. These types of players have already played their best ball, and we'd be crippling our future success if we were to bite on this. I say no to Choo unless the deal...

    Tomas Jurco/next season

    The kid is on fire in Grand Rapids.... 25 points in 22 games. He turns just 21 in a few weeks, but I wouldn't be surprised to get some time with the Wings as early as next season. We have a lot of UFAs coming off the cap for next year, and on top of that, the cap is rumored to increase to...

    OT Tigers/White Sox 2000 Brawl

    I was 15. That was the season that I really got into the Tigers, way more deeply than ever before. I had my first job at an ice cream shop and I'd put the games on the radio while there, or even better, there'd be the west coast games and I'd be able to go home and eat tons of ramen noodles and...

    Trade rumors

    There was a topic on 97.1 that someone brought up earlier... It had to do with this past offseasons free agency period and how the Tigers kept Anibal Sanchez and signed him to such a pricey contract as opposed to signing Rafael Soriano instead at about half the price. To me, I look at...

    New from ESPN...

    I finally made my way here too after 13 years of posting on the ESPN boards. It's refreshing seeing so many familiar screen names and a board format that is much more preferable than what ESPN's became. I posted much less in the last couple years... I'll probably still join in on some of the...
