Back to back to back to back AL Central division champions! Could this finally be the year they get it done? GO TIGERS!
September 28th, 2014 at 3:50 PM ^
4 straight Central Division titles!
Go Tigers!!
September 28th, 2014 at 7:11 PM ^
Go Tigers!!
I can't wait to be able to watch them again.
They are not shown much in Arizona. I miss them :'(
September 28th, 2014 at 3:51 PM ^
We might not have a world series win yet but I'll be damned if I'm not excited to see 4 straight division titles after the team made the playoffs for the first time in my life in 2006.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
September 28th, 2014 at 3:51 PM ^
And we NEEDED some today.
Came down to the final game of the season, but a job very well done.
September 28th, 2014 at 4:26 PM ^
...well, good news for us Tigers fans! Maybe with a little patience we will all have more good news about Michigan soon. Fingers crossed.
September 28th, 2014 at 3:52 PM ^
It looked bleak for awhile down the stretch, but they pulled it off.
Good for the Tigers! Now please win the World Series so I can finally stop hearing my parent's stories of yesteryear about 1984. I want one of my own to talk about.
September 28th, 2014 at 4:01 PM ^
When I was active duty Navy I met Darrell Evans at an overseas USO event in the mid-90's. I must have sounded like a blabbering idiot to him.
35-5 start, Kirk Gibson, Jack Morris, Tram & Whittaker. Those were good times, WD. "Bless You Boys!"
September 28th, 2014 at 4:21 PM ^
...downside is that such a talent packed team with seemingly good chemistry only managed one WS crown in the mid-80s.
F'ing Minny Twins.
September 28th, 2014 at 4:08 PM ^
Dude, the 35-5 start was one of the most incredible stretches of sports success I've ever witnessed. I do hope you get one of your own but your parents are right to keep talking about that season, even 30 years later.
September 28th, 2014 at 4:52 PM ^
As a 12-year old born and raised on the Tigers, 1984 was a magical year. My brother and I remark about what a number of childhood memories center on those Tigers and other events of that year.
Much the same for 1997 Michigan football.
Even as a fan, you just know you are part of something special when it's happening.
Hoping for a magical October in Detroit and a return to enjoyable autumn Saturdays in A2 sooner than later.
September 28th, 2014 at 9:46 PM ^
I was 12 as well...what a great age to be during THAT run. We used to bring our gloves to school every day, and recess was playing catch, games of pickle, or just throwing the ball against the wall pretending we were Morris, etc....
Great times! Now it's time to make some NEW memories! GO TIGERS!!
September 28th, 2014 at 3:52 PM ^
Boom, Tigs!
September 28th, 2014 at 3:54 PM ^
Kershaw MVP!
September 28th, 2014 at 8:16 PM ^
This ia Tigers win the AL Central posbang! Go Tigers! Although your guy there is a scary seemingly unstoppable pitching force!
Go Tigers!
Go Blue!
September 28th, 2014 at 9:40 PM ^
Go Blue!
September 28th, 2014 at 3:55 PM ^
So glad we have something to watch for at least a couple more weeks. Watching Miggy play is fantastic.
September 28th, 2014 at 3:56 PM ^
Well deserved. They fought hard and never gave up.
I'm still depressed about Michigan football though, and our dipshit coaching situation.
September 28th, 2014 at 3:56 PM ^
Let's put it together and get it done now!
September 28th, 2014 at 3:57 PM ^
That is 'strait gangsta.' Never seen that pic before!
September 28th, 2014 at 5:22 PM ^
I love that shirt.
September 28th, 2014 at 3:58 PM ^
Hehe...I kid, I kid.
Well, partially, anyway.
No seriously...does he know football at all?
September 28th, 2014 at 3:59 PM ^
Turn down for what?
September 28th, 2014 at 3:59 PM ^
there may not be many POSBANGs around here, save for Friday drinking threads, for a while.
I'm going to enjoy it. Men's basketball starts 10 November.
September 28th, 2014 at 4:03 PM ^
Glad to see Joe cap off a rollercoaster regular season with a quick three up, three down. Hopefully he's back!
September 28th, 2014 at 4:01 PM ^
as long as Nathan is not allowed to pitch to the 1-2-3 hitters, we should be fine!
September 28th, 2014 at 4:01 PM ^
Yeeeaaayyyyy!
September 28th, 2014 at 4:02 PM ^
As someone who grew up with the Tigers being good then bad then good once more and consistently competitive for the most part since 2006, I am going to say that I like these times in Detroit baseball much more having lived through both sorts of periods. We have had the luxury of almost a decade of this from the Tigers now and come what may in the postseason, I have really enjoyed this stretch. Let's do this, Tigers.
September 28th, 2014 at 9:05 PM ^
i have an extra good then bad in there. norm cash was my favorite player as a little kid.
i also wonder what could have been if modern surgical techniques were around in the 70s. Mark "the bird" Fidrych would have been in his prime in the early/mid 80s.
September 28th, 2014 at 4:03 PM ^
Eat em up! People need to recognize that these sort of streaks don't happen very often in baseball, appreciate what we have right now folks.
September 28th, 2014 at 4:03 PM ^
Bless you boys!
September 28th, 2014 at 4:04 PM ^
What universe is this?!?! Fire hoke
September 28th, 2014 at 4:06 PM ^
MSU fans probably enjoyed this weekend a tad more than we did, but hey...I'll take what I can get.
September 28th, 2014 at 5:22 PM ^
Yeah man, and don't forget that they have, like, mad NFL starting QBs, yo! Sure, two of the three aren't leading their teams anywhere near the playoffs, and they have two injuries and one spoiled brat draft pick to thank for the fact that they're playing, but all that matters is they have MORE "starters" in THE LEAGUE than Michigan! And all it took for that to finally happen was...Michigan abandoning the formula that had made them a NFL QB factory for decades.
September 28th, 2014 at 5:26 PM ^
It is called football in some countries around the world.
September 28th, 2014 at 4:05 PM ^
Way to grind it out. Go tigers!
September 28th, 2014 at 4:05 PM ^
Time for some playoff domination.
September 28th, 2014 at 4:06 PM ^
Back to Back to Back to Back!!! Its about time something good happens this weekend! Lions win too!!!!
Oh yeah, Fire Hoke!!!
September 28th, 2014 at 4:07 PM ^
Tiger clinch! Lions win! (Pos)Bang me people!
September 28th, 2014 at 4:08 PM ^
Great job clinching the division. This team is so streaky--hopefully this is a streak that goes positive through the playoffs and beyond.
Last three years I've been on assignment in Europe and had to watch them at crazy hours of the AM. Looking forward to some playoff baseball on Mountain Time again.
September 28th, 2014 at 4:08 PM ^
Watching one while following the other, and keeping an eye on KC just in case, but Nathan's clean inning made the breathing easy.
September 28th, 2014 at 4:08 PM ^
Needed some good news today, and the Lions win too!
September 28th, 2014 at 4:18 PM ^
Coke is insane.
September 28th, 2014 at 4:14 PM ^
it was rough at times, but another division title iss great. Bring on Baltimore
September 28th, 2014 at 4:21 PM ^
Rajai Davis, and he said he'd be ready to go Thursday against the Orioles.
September 28th, 2014 at 4:23 PM ^
Minnesota. Stupid Minnesota.
Yay Tigers!
September 28th, 2014 at 4:30 PM ^
I love Kinsler.
September 28th, 2014 at 4:33 PM ^
4 in a row! WOOO!
Lets get to work!
