Only possibility we can eliminate is Tigers in 4.

Game postponed until tomorrow at 4:19 ET. Lousy Rain

At least Bud Selig got it right and didn't put the game at night during the Lions MNF game.

Pretty much fouled up my Sunday, had the night off and the beer chilled.

icehog3 · 10-09-2011, 07:42 PM

Ordonez out for the rest of the playoffs with a broken ankle.

Young re-activated to take Magglio's place. Interesting.

Thanks Mike....wonder when (if) he will be able to play. The sooner the better.

Sure thing!

I hope if he does play that he doesn't aggrivate his injury.

BTW, you can read a number of great Tigers articles from 3-4 different beat writers at mlive.com:

Local radio just announced Delmon Young took batting practice today and felt good. They also said Zumaya will be involved in the first pitch tomorrow night at home. I wish we had a healthy Joel in the bullpen.

Game 6, Tigers!!!

Mattso3000 · 10-10-2011, 01:50 PM

Rangers in 5. But only cause I have money on them.

Given your Twins prediction, this makes me feel much better about my Tigers.

Hard to argue...went 0-4 divisional round.

Rangers in 5....be nice if Detroit could pull it off though (for the city)

A win won't matter jack to the economic woes of Detroit, and since I doubt their fans would "be nice" the net result may be a loss, once all the wildfires and looting is done.

No offense intended, but realistically that's the likely outcome.

No offense intended, but that is not realistically the likely outcome. Detroit has seen professional championships for the Pistons and Red Wings in the last decade and there has been no looting, nor have there been any wildfires. We've hosted the super bowl and the final four, and everyone has played nice. The tigers went to the world series in 2006 and there was no rioting either when the team won the ALCS, or lost the series. There are plenty of reasons to bag on the city - the behavior of its fan bases is not one of them.

I thought you didn't care?

Understand this: People who "hate" the Yankees claim they do so because they spend so much money, but that's not true. They do so because the Yankees have had success while spending money to accomplish this. Were they as ineffective as, say, the Os or Mets . . . or even the Red Sox over the past 2 years of missing the playoffs entirely . . . no one would give a damn how much they spend.

Understand this too: The Yankees have won more post-season games than any other MLB franchise. The Yankees have also LOST more post-season games than any other MLB franchise, so a rational fan has become inured to that fact. But perhaps, as a Tar Heel, I have that advantage over many others . . . I've been there many March days, as well as many October evenings.

Sounds like a lot of effort jumping into the Tigers/Rangers thread to spread your "indifference".

BTW, I love the 1984 references to riots. Check your calendar, that was 27 years ago.

You didn't see me ragging on NYC for the "Occupy Wallstreet" communists and their preference for deficating on police cruisers. Nor did I point out your former-governor's penchant for hookers.

Furthermore, the stealing done in Detroit is not done by mobs and looters; it's done by the local government. Ask the Hip-Hop Mayor himself, I think he's out of prison for the moment.

Now go away.

First, this skates dangerously close to being political, which is verboten. Me, I don't much care, but the ToE might. Second, I have no governor, former or otherwise. But New Jersey's former governor had a penchant for boys, not hookers. The present one has a penchant for Ding-Dongs.

Now go away? Now make me. And while you're at it, play your little games on time, and stop screwing with my TV schedule.
