No, I wouldn't call them "good" but I don't think they warrant the beating they get here after a loss. People act like they are the 2003 Tigers sometimes. They are on the the middle of the pack. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expections this season are a little higher after the hot start and good season... the 03 season it was hard to get much talk at all in the game threads people didnt care enough to post Edited June 10 by Toddwert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelton Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 The 2009 Tigers were 34-31 and leading the division by 2 games. The 2012 Tigers were 31-34 and four games back. What I’m saying is that we are probably going to get swept in the World Series again after Skubal gets rocked in game 1. But that’s better than losing game 163. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great evening for a bike ride. Probably go pull some weeds here shortly and then see if I can get my OOTP online team going in the right direction (for next season) at this trade deadline.

1776 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Well, I just ordered the new Lance Parrish book. I’m confident that is a more productive activity than listening to the Tigers play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still watch the games, obviously, but the negativity relative to their record or the expectations they had going into the year has made it a lot harder to have fun engaging with others when discussing this team. It's relatively tame here, it's even worse on Twitter or other venues. I'm not saying they are good or that they are where any of us want them to be (they are very mid, they aren't where we want them to be), but the relentless negativity just gets old.

Yeah, I'll be honest I have had to block some people on here because the constant negativity of it does nothing but annoy me and make me not want to hop on to talk Tigers. You know it is bad when you know when consistently if they are doing well posts on GDT's are less than when they are doing poorly. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a larger cultural point to made that is bigger than baseball, but rage sells. Particularly in the age of social media. But it's a choice, particularly when it comes to sports which, in the grand scheme of things, matter less than many other things going on out there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be working now. Quick to mute topics that may lead to craziness (e.g. "Pride" this month). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
