Where’s all those people who only posted when the team didn’t do well?

Standing room only tickets are all that’s left on the Tiger site for this weekend.

He jumped on Stoney who asked him if they were surprised at Sweeney’s play. “We knew the player. We’re not idiots. We seek out good talent”.

TIE GAME

Vierling got a bit of a gift on 2-0. Tying run on 2nd.

yes.

Winning 5 in a row is hard.

Yep. And it's a good thing for his pitcher too. Put him in a game that means something. I remember in 2008 when the Tigers/Sox had a rainout late in the season that had to be made up on a Monday because the Sox were in a tiebreaker scenario with MN for the divison lead. Leyland played his stars.

"Hey Chris, they sent up some donuts and snacks back here if you want some" "No, I'll stay sitting, thanks."

speechless.... "doing his thing"

what did he say about the Moon? I'm a space nerd and interested.

Without investigating it.... was it turnout for Trump or apathy towards Hillary? I know going by gut feeling is bad but I can't help but feel there's real meaning in the crowds and enthusiasm I see for Kamala, which exceeded my what my expectations would have been prior to July 2024. I think having a black woman is going to draw in voters that didn't participate previously and I don't know how pollsters can account for that. But maybe they are. To me 2020 is the baseline and I don't think dems lose any share, they only gain, and the GOP doesn't gain any, they lose share.

They got the monkey off their back! They're loose now. They're building for next year. They're coming together for Grady Sizemore.

A sweep of Colorado 2 weeks ago seemed a sure thing with Skubal on the mound.

well you know what's going to happen now that you said that don't you? 🙂 No hitter.

I have a trip planned in late Oct.... if the Tigers make the WS... I will have to change those, or just watch them from TN with my cousins.

If Tyler has a good game will McCoskey tweet out "Yeah, bro!"

Walking in to that Kenny Rogers game was awesome. We met some friends at Nemo's. The crowd outside of Comerica getting in was massive. Bigger than Opening Day. "Oh, so this is a playoff crowd.... there's sellouts, then there's SELLOUTS". And it was an 8 pm game so it was dark.... going into a baseball game when it's dark? That's unusual.

yeah our Detroit radio is unique. Someone should write a book about it. There's a reason Howard Stern never took off here in syndication. We didn't need him and it is a Detroit thing to be loyal. You have success here and we remember it, whether you are a fringe Detroit Tiger or Red Wing on a championship team or a radio host. I would listen to JJ and KC. I don't remember who was where at the time but WLLZ had Mitch Albom on in the morning to do some sports, he wasn't hte host, just the guest, that led to his evening show on Sunday, which led to his WJR show. In my college years, early 90's, Drew and Mike took off and they changed it. They used to do music but eventually realized the listeners didn't want that, they wanted more bits. It was like listening to two friends talk about stuff going on. I would go to bed listening to WJR or WDFN and at some point in the middle of the night I would get up and switch the radio from AM to FM, and knew exactly how far to move the dial to get to WRIF. There was a non local station near 101.1 that would come in at night that I had to avoid. Their hey day was epic. I will never forget when they brought up Delbert Harris for an event.

I was never as upset at a game as I was that Sunday. I wanted the division flag because I assumed the team wouldn't do anything in the playoffs so I figured that's a nice memento, nobody cares about the wild card. And I wanted to see them celebrate. In the end it worked out as they were able to shock the Yankees in the best of 5.

Don’t forget 2006. Getting swept by the Royals at home.

I remember that day well. It seemed like half my office left at lunchtime to go to the game. I couldn’t make it. Was jealous. Nate got bombed. Tigers lost Friday and Saturday and had to burn Verlander on Sunday just to force 163.

lol.

Don’t care what the Twins do.
