This tigers team is something special just like that boston team was a few years back. I'v been watching them more during this season that i probably did the last 15 years combined. These guys are no joke. They are the most balanced team in the playoffs and when they are on point they are un-beatable. If you guys watched the last two games you saw how out cold their pitching can be from the starters and the madmen we have in the bullpen like Zumaya and Jones. All the players we have this year are blue collar types. The detroit public does not like pretty boy teams. I was around for the 1984 season even though i was young and i remember watching it on tv like it was yesterday. Some stupid bastard came up with the idea of calling detroit "Hockey Town" but that is and has always been complete bullshit. This town has been a hardcore baseball town for over 100 years and if you watch that crowd in the stands on tv you'll see that right off the bat. It just sucks that we took so long to in-between winning seasons. If people don't enjoy watching the Tigers win this year they must be a bunch of assholes :) --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
