I stood and applauded from my living room couch, just as governor Whitman would?ve wanted me to do.

Is it na?ve to start being a little bit excited about the Tigers season now?

Mize scuffling a bit so far, giving up a couple walks, HBP and WP scores gonzalez..1-1.

Dunno who this "Whitman" person is that you post of.

MLB didn't base their decision to play games sans fans on politics, but science and perhaps liability concerns, else why didn't the RNC go with their original choice to find an indoor venue in Floriduh to hold their nomination shindig?

Fans can choose to be optimistic, pessimistic, or realistic about the Tigers...I usually go with the last.

Boney PH for Stewie as a late defensive replacement, since neither can hit a lick.

[Plattelander]

Don't know if we can sustain this but its fun to watch the Tigers again. Season ended now Gardy would have to get some votes for manager of the year.
