The Detroit Tigers keep on winning. Any good reason to doubt them still?

[xboxist]

They're a full eight games ahead of the White Sox in their division. Best record in baseball by a handful of wins. Their young pitchers are showing no signs of slowing down (Verlander won his 13th game today).

I'm 27. I barely remember their 1984 championship season. They've basically stunk each year since then. It's quite exciting to witness this dramatic turn around.

See you in October.

EDIT: 1984, not 1985. /dumbass

1985? Are you sure on that?

They will make it to the playoffs. Just a matter of if they win against more more experienced teams in the playoffs.

 

[mcvickj]

Nope. They are playoff bound for sure. They just need to figure out how to beat that blasted Chicago White Sox team.

There is a reason why you barely remember the 85 season. It never existed. It was 1984.

Yeah, they'll make the playoffs, but their record is horrible against the White Sox, Yankees, and Red Sox, and they'll need to beat them in order to advance.

It's proven time and time again that the winners of the WS are not the best team in baseball overall, but who winds up hottest when the season winds down.

 

[xboxist]

See? I told you I barely remember it. heh

I knew it was 1984... I must have been thinking about something else. Like when the NES debuted in America, or something.

i thought it was proven time and time again that there is no correlation between the way you end a season and how far you go in the postseason

as for the OP...

yes there is reason to doubt, because they are the tigers after all. They'll make the playoffs, but damn it's about time

go tigers

sent my sister and her fiance to the White Sox game when Monroe hit that grand slam.......awesome game :beer:

 

[iamme]

btw, if the Tigers can hold on to the best regular season record, that'll make 3 pro teams in Detroit that finished w/ the best regular season record in the same season. pretty damn good.



*of course, the red wings and pistons failed to win their respective championships, but having three teams w/ the best record in teh same year is impressive nonetheless.
