AL Central Smack Talk

[Fountain City Blues]

They have their hands full facing Os, Rays & Bosox going down the line. Cant see it happening for them

Those AL East teams playing each other + KC playing the Indians 3 more times is the only reason I have any optimism at this point.

For the 5th time in 9 years, in 2014, The Royals open the season at Detroit...

Little early to look at the 2014 schedule, but jeez, can we play someone besides the Tigers?

 

[Howie115]

It would be nice to see some fresh faces in the playoffs, but anything that
excludes A-Roid is ok with me at this point.

That's kinda where I am. Though I agree with Cleaves, the Yankees have been beatable in the last few postseasons.

Get the hard games out the way.....i like when the tigers play alot of tough games early.....sets up for a nice run towards the end....plus if you fall in a hole early, you have alot of games left to climb out.....just like this year.....detroit got their west coast trip out of the way kind of early....you still have to beat the crappy teams....but sometimes crappy teams end up being good. So you never know with future schedules.

Id rather see KC than Os. Theyve played their asses off

I wouldn't mind seeing them either, especially since it's been a long time

Where did all the shit heads go that were saying the only reason the Tigers would make the playoffs was because the AL Central was shitty......now your sorry ass teams have a sniff of WC y'all are all puffed up....ha ha..

Nobodys all puffed up asshat

Tigers will run a four man rotation for post season not three

 

[broncosmitty]

There's definitely some puff.

Nothing better than watching someone try to sneak back on a bandwagon after loudly jumping off

The AL Central is still the weakest division...that hasn't changed, sorry.

 

[da55bums]

Yep. Too bad they play 162 games, and there isn't a trophy for most wins over a 9-week stretch.

agree with you, completely, finally.

NL East is the worst this year... Its really not even close... But this guy is such a clown he will downplay his own team and division... Just to take a dig at the team that will win the AL Central.

 

[MiamiVice]

He is like the cousin that everyone has that is so jealous of other in the family having success, he would rather rip the failures of those better off than him than focus on getting better himself... Hater... Period... Keep it up.. Makes winning things more fun as a tigers fan when you know guys like bums are just stewing about it when det wins.

AL Central is better than the NL West and East this year...

 

[MiamiVice]

I don't see the al central 2013 on that list... I have no idea what that list proves... This year... The al central is not bad and as moose said... Its better than the nl east and nl west.

 

[MiamiVice]

I love when he posts stats... They are either not relevant or they are made up

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Heck, one could probably argue that the ALC is better than the ALW by virtue of having 3 winning teams + we don't have the Lastros in our division... You know you're bad when you are 8.5 GB a White Sox team that has been dead in the water for months now.
