Tigers game threads do well for the most part, but like mentioned weekday afternnon games not as much posting/views as night games. Friday nights seem to get going late too. Guys get paid from work, stop off for brews, get home mid game, or do errands after work, a date, whatever.
Playoffs will start soon and they should be humming, but no Tigers game threads are as great as those Lions Game Threads, those are absolutely the best for posts, replies/views.

Getting homelate tonight/lastnight I went through all the links and webvideos and had to add this one from the team notes when ajpierzynski grounded into a double play and slammed his helmet on the ground and kicked it. Couldn't happen to a nicer shythead.

It still amazes me on Sunday for the Lions we had over 1000 posts. We never had close to that on ESPN. Lions, Tigers and U of M, we get some massive threads.

I may have missed it in your Team Notes thread KC, but I felt it was worth mentioning...

From Elias: The Tigers trailed 5-2 in the ninth inning, but scored three runs to tie the game and then defeated the White Sox in 10 innings at U.S. Cellular Field, 6-5. Detroit had lost its last 518 road games in which it was behind by at least three runs in the ninth inning or later, dating back to August 1993. That was the longest streak of that kind for any major-league team in more than three decades - since the Cubs lost 652 consecutive road games after trailing by three or more runs in the ninth inning or after, from 1952 to 1979.

Good info sggatecl. Tigers were long overdue.

Wow. Think they'd have come back sometime during that stretch. Maybe it says as much about modern relief pitching as how bad Detroit was between 1994-2005
