2017 AL CENTRAL DISCUSSION

But Detroit acquires Cameron Diaz!

Oh wait, that's Daz Cameron.

4 straight*

You're right. My apologies.

I'd forgotten how long it's been since the heartless Tigers got their sorry asses swept out of the World Series because Verlander shit his pants.

So, five of the last six.

I reme mber how the cubs whipped Indian ass.. like it was yesterday

 

[dougplayer]

Only a Indian fan would talk shit. During a losing drought......all of MLB laughs at you.

I bet you do. That's all you have to be happy about.

Now. Tigers will be sold. It was the plan since Mr I. Passed away. His kid doesn't want the team.
New owners Wil be easy to find. Little to beat in the AL Central

I am curious though, doug, in your lexicon, if winning a WS in extras innings of Game 7 is "whipping ass," what do you call sweeping a team out of the WS in four straight games?

I fear a 100 loss season for the 2018 Tigers.

I fear a 100 loss season for the 2018 Tigers.

prob best thing that can happen to them really.

have 2 bad seasons....and then start it up again

3-4 years ago the Astros were absolute trash--- now they are a damn good young team.

 

[navamind]

33 years without a title isn't a drought?

 

[Howie115]

Highly likely until the prospects are MLB ready. Could almost be 2003-level bad in The D. As WingyRuss said, they will be the Astros of 3-4 years ago.

I also won't be surprised to see the Tigers go 5-25 in their last 30 this year and finish behind the White Sox. After Fulmer, the other 4 starters in the rotation (Zimmermann, Sanchez, Boyd and Farmer) all have ERAs over 6.00. And with Fulmer's recurring ulnar nerve problems, it doesn't make much sense to keep pitching him this season.

Never. Keep up! It's 65 years. Since the mistake by the lake won a WS

Hey Dr. Detroit what happened to your bold prediction that the Tigers would easily win the ALc? Or did you mean next year? Or did you mean in 2019? Or did you mean in 2020?

Okay, and it's been 33 years since the Tigers won one. Doesn't exactly look to end anytime soon either.

 

[Iffster]

I guess no one has asked the BIG question. We all know @dougplayer is a frontrunner. Does he abandon the Detroit Tigers now? If so, does he become an Astro fan? Or maybe a White Sox fan (so he can still post on the AL Central thread)? Or does he continue to make himself look like an idiot by bashing (weakly) the Indians, while HIS team sits in the AL Central basement?

Tigers need 5 wins to prevent a 100 loss season. The count down is on! LOL

 

[Wamu]

I'm confident that the Tigers pitching (ranked last in the A.L. & 2nd worse in all of baseball) will turn things around immediately. Look for them to get that final wild card spot the last day of the season.
