Speaking of Johnnycakes, the Tiger's closer looks EXACTLY like him.

Close, I think it was actually "Real sugar, and twice the caffeine of a regular cola."

ARGH!!!! DAMN TWINS!!!

It's the end of the 2nd inning, and I already want to bring out the Florida Evans gif already.

"LET'S GO OAKLAND!"

Get used to that chant, you will be hearing it for the next few weeks!

Sowhat said:

If you guys win this game, PLEASE take the rest of the games and win the World Series.

I'll go with ANY team that can trounce all over the Yankees.

TMPletz said:

DETROIT TIGERS BABY!

TMPletz said:

Done deal ! And I say the same thing to you if somehow the Twins come back. Anyone but the Yankees.

And we may not even have to play the Yankees, they have to get past Detroit first .

applekisses said:

Oh...OR the Tigers.

Sowhat said:

Let's all pray together...

applekisses said:

The Tigers may eliminate the Yankees yet. But it does not really matter who wins that series, they won't get by Oakland anyways .


"LET'S GO OAKLAND! "

TMPletz said:

Uh-oh....it's 4 - 0 now.

Sowhat said:

That could be the case...I just want them to get past NY right now...that's all I'm thinking about currently.

4-0. That's it. I'm turning the radio off.



GO TIGERS!

applekisses said:

I'm with you....GO TIGERS (against the Yankees only )!

Sowhat said:

Sowhat said:

YAY!!! Let's get 'em!

I STAND CORRECTED!!!!

jerseykrs said:

Now you are starting to feel some Detroit Soul...you've learned a valuable lesson today...NEVER count out Detroit...we surprise you when you least expect it because this city and all who belong to it have what money can't buy...and that's HEART!

Damn...sucks to be a yankee fan

I know nothing about baseball, but it sure was fun seeing this thread today and following it from the start to the end.

Fauxie said:

Aren't you originally from Detroit? Or am I confusing you with someone else?
Anyways, it was WONDERFUL to see the Tigers celebrate with the fams (fans is short for fantatic ) Detroit NEEDED this win in the worst way (and I'm not talking just baseball).

Revolution said:

No, I think you're confusing me with someone from Detroit. I'm from England.

Revolution said:

I was thinking the same thing, John...we're in such a bad state...our way of life (the auto industry) is tanking...we've got the worst job loss rate in the US and our economy has gone from the eighth best in the country down to 22nd.
We really, really needed this.

I guess the A's don't have to be 300+ RBI's better after all .

So now it is my Oaland Athletics vs the Detroit Tigers.

Honestly, the Tigers scare me more than the Yankees did. The Tigers have much better pitching than the Yankees do.

And again I say, great pitching and defense will shut down great hitting every time.

Kenny Rogers for Detroit is almost unbeatable Pitching in Oakland (he is 25-4 lifetime at McAfee Coliseum with a 3.46 ERA) and the A's just can't seem to get Placido Polanco out.

But my A's have great pitching also, have that special chemistry going on this year and just find ways to win.

It should be a great series, but in the end my A's will win, my prediction is 4 games to 2.

It should be a good series! I won't make any predictions because anything can happen...but, it will be some compelling baseball. May the best team win
