As in '06, my first thoughts are of my maternal grandmother (1904–1990), who always – I mean *always* – had the Tigers on her TV and/or kitchen radio in the summertime.

Hey Everybody, Not sure who remembers me, I was a regular on MotownSports and joined way back in like 2003. I remember the countless inside jokes over the years, SlickNickShady's 'hat on bed' pictures, Library Monkey/Titus Tigers famous animated gifs in the game threads. And so many more memories of the old days. I really miss all the sabremetric discussion. There were some really brilliant math-oriented people who used to post here. Hope there is still a lot of that. I remember most of the old posters, Yoda, Biff, Yooper, Chasf, Oblong, Tiger337, etc. I hope many of the old crowd is still around. Unfortunately, life just got in the way and I had to step away for a long time, but seeing this run the Tigers are making inspired me to make my return. Anyway, sorry for the useless thread, it will be the only one of it's type that I create, I just wanted to say I missed you all and am happy to be back.

I haven't met anyone here in person. but I love you guys and I love sharing this moment with you all. I've missed this.

This is all so cool.

A gentleman from Port Huron caught that baseball. 4-1.

I love that it’s a bunch of kids. No bloated vets hanging around because of a contract. They’re too dumb to know they have to wait. Tonight was an amazing night at the park. The teams prior, even2006, had stress involved. This team just took it and didn’t care. They don’t know you have to wait. **** it. We take.

One of the more promising things about this is that this run wasn't necessarily just some arbitrary thing that happened without reason, there actually is some on field differences to explain it like getting Meadows and Carpenter back. Losing Baez and adding Sweeney, Keith getting better especially defensively and Tork returning and playing better.

It seemed like there were a fair number of players’ parents on the field after they clinched last night. That’s a fantastic touch. I don’t know if I’ve seen that before.

Jace looked pretty lit last night.

I'm sure the morning came a little too early for these Tigers..........but they'll be ready. Is this Heaven? No, it's Detroit. 🙂

They promoted Jobe with the intention of using him in the playoffs, I believe.

MLB put up a nice highlight video of the Tigers run to the playoffs.

I can't ****ing believe though that this team rallied back and made this improbable run to get into the postseason. This moment, this run, today's game, is what you really live for as a fan of any sports team. We're playing with house money now, so this anything that happens after this is gravy. Helluva job by AJ Hinch, Chris Fetter, this staff, every Tiger player, Scott Harris, the player development staff. Incredible job all around by the entire organization really for making the impossible somehow possible. What a ****ing last month and a half this has been. We're in the damn playoffs. WOW!!!

I remember the speculation by many that 86 wins would do it............and it did. 88 would be better, regardless of anyone else's record. Honestly, I don't give a flying **** who we play. We're there, man. And whomever it is, has not been playing as well as the Tigers the last month.

2024 Detroit Tigers with two games left against the ChiSox: ”Hold my beer”

It's too bad the Tigers can't host Houston in the playoffs. I wanted to see the fans boo Verlander along with his wife and children.

Perfect night in Central Texas. Hanging out on the balcony with a cold beer and my dog listening to celebration interviews on 97.1. What a great night.

I hope none of these guys get pulled over on the way home tonight.

I'm gonna frame this.

I wonder how DTrain and the rest of those posters that were so prominent in the summer are taking this?

I sense a Rob Miller thread in the making

The drought is over, boys. Congrats to all of you who have followed every game during the last 10 seasons. This is for y’all.

That was just about the most interesting 3 outs to clinch a title I can remember ever seeing.

"Everyone stood there like the house on the side of the road and let the Tigers go by." Great call by Benetti!

WHITE SOX ARE THE WORST TEAM EVER

Tork walks the second time they’re pitching to him like he’s Ted Williams.

he has a kid who was placed in charge of the bulls, because reinsdorf doesnt care about basketball. theyre not going anywhere. to make nice with the state they proposed a few hundred million in renovations to the area around the current park. we'll see if he actually follows through with it. he made noise about nashville but 1) nashville wants an expansion team and not an established team; and 2) its just a ploy to get the state to pony up and give them a billion dollars. JB told them (and the bears) to pound sand. but its an election year. we'll see what they say next year. BJ the mayor is all for it, but we'll see how much money he has left over after he pays his bosses over at the teacher's union.

He grew up to be Conner Stallions.

My question would be whether the more aggressive stance by Israel makes it any harder for these groups to swim in the population or not. Probably not since they enforce their will by terror at home as well, which is completely unreported by international media. But just ask yourself how Israel always seems to know where these guys are? There is a large segment of the local population that hates them and provides a constant stream of intelligence over the transom to the IDF.

Yes, most great comebacks involve one team surging and another one failing. It doesn't take anything away from what they did.

**** Jim Fregosi

nah, screw 'em

G1 Skubal v Burnes is going to be awesome

kinda wish they'd stop throwing them into each other, though.

I agree there have been very real improvements with position players. The crazy part is the pitching. Hinch/Fetter have gotten an incredible amunt out of what they had available the last couple of months.

I began this season with mild interest, that eventually escalated into despair, and then hope, then amazement, and finally tonight with gratitude. The unexpected nature of this makes this particular outcome gratifying in ways that are incomparable in my 64 years as a fan. There’s been a lot of high points too numerous to recount, but this is really special and unequaled in how this team seemingly rose from the ashes.

what a great season.

Whoa, I thought White Sox might challenge that.

Thank You!😍

After divisional realignment

Ellard is as wild as Kevin “Hot Sauce” Saucier.

people are looking at this wrong. yes it's unseemly for a "billionaire" former POTUS to be hawking all this crap. but the real issue is money laundering. $10M seems to be the going price for a bribe for Trump if Egypt report is correct. so pick any oligarch in the world; he "buys" 100 watches at 100K - that's $10M. he does not even need the watches to be delivered. if they are, fine, throw them in the trash. Trump is accepting payment in bitcoin which is key to evading taxes, sanctions and audit trail

Not sure. Just know it’s Trey Sweeney with the Tigers and Sydney Sweeney with the twins.
