Smokey the first to tear up, I though he was too craggy to get emotional.

Damn, the MLB vid stopped before they got into the clubhouse, just showed em taking off the spikes and getting the champs hats and shirts.

Yes it feels great to be on here with all of my internet buddies...We sometimes argue we sometimes fight but we most of the time pull in one direction.... We die a little when our teams loses and we all feel like buying each other a beer when they win......Man great stuff everyone.

What's great is we have a 2 game lead over Texas, but it's a 3 game lead since we owned them in the regular season.

Good point....Stay ahead of the Rangers and get at least one home series advantage...

Yeah he was double tapping two bottles at once..... That means puke in 3.3 hours...

A few weeks ago, I really just wanted the Tigers to win the division, but now with the way that they have been playing, and Boston having a bad month, I hope to see the team advance to the league championship series at the very least, if not making it to the WS and perhaps playing well enough vs the NL champion and win it all.
