I hate the tigers, but the AL Central is a friggin powerhouse division...And to think, I was actually ready to give them a little credit.*Easy division*Awful 2nd half*Piss-poor defense*Less than timely hitting*No leadershipAny guesses as to their record next year?![]()

SeriouslyEasy division
That's where I stopped reading
They need some sticks in the middle of that lineup....their pitching should be fine.Bats just didn't come through. Some good young arms there, but I see them being a lot like the White Sox were this year...they'll end up with a good record in 07, but miss the playoffs.They did peak way too early, and didn't have any previous success to draw back on when times got tough.
1 game better than the BoSoxAnd to think, I was actually ready to give them a little credit.*Easy division*Awful 2nd half*Piss-poor defense*Less than timely hitting*No leadershipAny guesses as to their record next year?![]()

I say they have a better record than the Red Sox.And to think, I was actually ready to give them a little credit.*Easy division*Awful 2nd half*Piss-poor defense*Less than timely hitting*No leadershipAny guesses as to their record next year?![]()
My best advice to all is to ignore the Red Sox fans and their tendency to piss all over everybody

Yes, it exposed that solid pitching can out-perform high price bats like the Yanks & BoSox.With Verlander, Bonderman and Zumaya I have a feeling we'll be seeing the Tigers in quite a few post-seasons the next few years.to a great season.
Pitching is pretty random too. Its very hard to maintain a strong pitching staff.With Verlander, Bonderman and Zumaya I have a feeling we'll be seeing the Tigers in quite a few post-seasons the next few years.to a great season.

See White Sox, everybody said they would be in the playoffs for the next 5 years due to their staff...90 wins is solid, but they really choked down the stretch...Random?Pitching is pretty random too.

I hate to agree with BGP, and I think the qualifier "pretty" is important, but there's a lot of luck in a 7 game series.This year's results just illustrate what I've said for years - the MLB playoffs are pretty random.

All I kept hearing all year was how the NL wasn't going to be able to produce a team that would make a competitive series.Right, because a sample size of 5 games is more telling than the AL going 154-98 against the NL in interleague play.Good work, Shuke.FixedDetroit Tigers American League Exposed![]()
Whomever said that is an idiot.But on the whole, the AL was the stronger conference this year.All I kept hearing all year was how the NL wasn't going to be able to produce a team that would make a competitive series.Right, because a sample size of 5 games is more telling than the AL going 154-98 against the NL in interleague play.Good work, Shuke.FixedDetroit Tigers American League Exposed![]()
