My brother's there! (After a night at the hospital with my dad -- who's fine now).

(Now you're up to 30 Miggies, one for every 100 hits.)
He needs to join Jetes, A-Rod, & Boggs in the 3,000th hit HR club.
Hate to be mensch, but it's 'Jeets'.
I love watching Skubal pitch
Tell me he throws a screwball. I need to hear an announcer try to say, "There goes another screwball from Skubal." The Yankees had a kid in their farm system named Jansen Junk who was a power pitcher. Dude, come on...
Looks like a lot of people are stuck in line and will miss the hit if it happens in the 1st. Unfortunate!
That's what my brother said happened, people only getting to their seats after Miggie's 3,000th hit. Can you imagine planning to be there for it and missing it?
That's okay though. The can tell people they saw it.
My brother also said some people were leaving after the hit, though maybe only to pee or grab food.
They can say: “I was there (...in the beer line) and saw it!” (...on the MLB app 10 minutes later) and technically not be lying.
There it is
3000
I love you Miggy
That was cool
Glad I caught it live. Love the hug from Iglesias.
Take a moment and appreciate the history. Truly an amazing accomplishment.
And then Tork parks one.
Great Day to be a Tiger
Watched it happen at a local bar. I exclaimed, "All right!" To which someone turned to me and said, "Yeah, but did he do it with drugs or without?"
Some people just love dropping a turd in the proverbial punch bowl.
Did that knob know an ounce of anything about one, Miguel Cabrera?! Clearly not.
Clearly. But you know the old cliche about arguing with a fool.
Lol that tool probably slobbers over other members of the 3K club who were obvious roidheads. Probably a closet Yankees fan.
On National Vagina Appreciation Day to boot.
[EDIT. Never mind.]
Every day is National Vagina Appreciation Day at my house. Never needed a single day to remind me to appreciate.
So happy for Miguel and all of Tiger Nation enjoying the moment! As a lifelong fan I'll admit I got choked up a bit watching it.
Nice bomb Tork!
Greatest Tiger of my lifetime! Glad the team is starting to compete again as he nears the end of his career. Really like the make up of this young team, it's early but Tork looks like he is going to be special.
Go Tigers!
Super Chonk gets it done. Glad it wasn't against the Yankees, because fuck the Tigers. Anyway, congrats, Miggy!
Sorry, gotta downvote ya, pal. I was born in Detroit, Henry Ford Hospital, and we don't play that. Much respect but watch yourself.
Also: Dear Haters, juice this.
lol--I will shit all over the Detroit Tigers all day, every day, here, there, and everywhere.
Much respect for Miggy though. That dude can flat out HIT.
Have another downvote, on the house.
Keep 'em coming!
Signed in to down vote.
Thank you for your service.
“Tigers are playin, tonight!”
I know, right? I'm actually from the Bronx and a lifelong Yankee fan though.
Many people are able to overcome a handicap like that. You might consider counseling.
My father-in-law was from the Bronx, up on the Grand Concourse, and he called it "the old country."
No one cares.
You do, though. That's why you read through the whole thing then posted this at the bottom.
The Yankees were afraid to pitch to him when the chips were down. Fucking cowards.
Relax, Sidney, have a cream soda. It's April, and the stakes are still low. He had the rest of the season to get his 3000. It didn't take long.
Upset because the Yanks have never beaten the Tigers in a playoff series, or that the Tigers have the longest postseason winning streak against the Yankees of any team in history, and will continue the next time they meet in the playoffs?
Silliness. The Yankees have plenty of World Series titles and the Tigers have...far less. The Red Sox are a rival. All the Eastern Division teams are rivals. Houston...oh hell yes. Even Kansas City since there's the playoff history and the Pine Tar Game from the 70s and early 80s. The Mets? Fuck yeah. The Dodgers since the Brooklyn days.
The Tigers are not a rival. No Yankee fan thinks of the Tigers this way. This is like Illinois fans calling Michigan their greatest rival.
That being said, and hey, neg this too, the Tigers have a great young core with Torkelson, Greene, and Baddoo. The future looks bright there at least.
So if they’re not a rival (which I agree with), why will you “shit on the Tigers all day”?
Hey, I posted to celebrate Cabrera's achievement and merely made note of my disdain for the Tigers in fairly mild terms ("...fuck the Tigers"). That disdain actually comes from my experience at Comerica Amusement Park...sorry Comerica Park, and the vociferous Yankee hate witnessed by myself and a fellow fan, which baffled us at the time. You expect that from a Boston fan or anyone from Philadephia. The Yankees and Tigers don't play in the same division, which means the Tigers have never prevented the Yankees from making the playoffs that I know of. I didn't even know about the having-your-number-in-the-playoffs thing until some of y'all mentioned it. And what is that supposed to mean to Yankee fans? It's nice that you cling to that, but the Yankees have won the World Series seven times in my lifetime. The Tigers have four in their entire history, from Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford, through Hank Greenberg and Mickey Cochrane, Mickey Lolich and Willie Horton, to Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker, to the Miggy days--FOUR. If you want to make a rivalry out of that, go ahead. Any Yankee fan that HASN'T been to a Yankee game at Comerica probably has pretty neutral feelings about the Tigers--perhaps even respect for the great teams. Maybe shock that those teams didn't win more.
Okay, I did refer to Cabrera as "Super Chonk." The dude is round, I'm sorry. He's gets the job done though.
You're right, the Yankees would have to actually win a playoff series against the Tigers for there to be a rivalry!
Isn't winning a lot of titles supposed to make you happy, btw?
Whether "Clarence Boddicker" deigns to call them rivals or not. . . The Tigers have l-o-n-g had the Yankees' number. And yes, the Yanks have many times been the most expensive team that money can buy. . . but when you do the hype-to-wins ratio, especially in the modern era. . . they've bombed in the Bronx.
EDIT: Plus, they're cheaters. Enjoy the taint.
Max Scherzer calls him, "the greatest hitter ever to walk this earth."
Only three players have 3000 hits, 500 home runs, and a lifetime .300 batting average. Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Cabrera. He's a great hitter.
Way to go Miggy! Sharing it with Iglesias was pretty sweet, too.
I can’t wait until number 3024. Something about that number that speaks to me
I would say it’s my spirit number but I don’t want to offend the other numbers and their sandy groins.
I'd prefer Miggy somehow reaches 4227 career hits someday but the odds are stacked against him.
