I’ve been looking forward to this stretch for quite a while. Especially when we were scoring a lot of runs. But now that we’re not, it may not be quite as much a slam dunk as I thought. Quote

Motor City Sonics Posted Monday at 04:37 PM Author Posted Monday at 04:37 PM Wow, a ump threw a guy out for tapping his helmet? If you can't even take that gesture, you have no business umping in the Majors. What a baby. Quote

I have no idea of how they quantify “power“ and all I see are results, but nobody is “showing their work” like in math class. Maybe I’m just too much of a moran make the proper inferences and fill in the work my own. I am not “Mike Myers, your company’s computer guy.” I wish somebody would just sit down and push me out of the way and make sense of this and laugh at me. At least I’d learn something. Quote

As of June 2nd, 2025, the Tigers have the best MLB record. Does that make them the "best" team? IMO, no. But if these people wanna put out some type of "Power Rankings" and put the Tigers at top, I will gladly boast that my favorite team is #1 in these rankings. 😆 Quote

The local media pumped him up big time. He eventually flopped and fans started calling him Bedwetter. 1 Quote

gehringer_2 Posted Tuesday at 03:01 PM Posted Tuesday at 03:01 PM the only time I had a strong "would rather face" feeling was the 2006 series. I wanted the Mets because I thought we matched up better. We'll never know if we would have matched up better against them or not but we didn't handle StL very well! Quote

When it comes to post-season, a team is not a real champion unless they can beat everyone, so I don't worry about who they face. Quote

LOL - I'd change your syntax there to "have beaten everyone" because we know the truth is that if any baseball playoff series was repeated the odds are pretty close to 50/50 the other team would win it the second time around.

The 2012 WS was a sweep.... Game 1 was a blowout (Verlander, go figure), in game 2 the Giants scored on a DP and SF. In game 3 the Tigers had chances but also had Quentin Berry at the plate for them. Game 4 was extra innnings. So 4-0 looks dominant. The individual games show a closer series. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted Tuesday at 05:03 PM Posted Tuesday at 05:03 PM The 2012 Series is completely blocked from my memory like legit the only things I remember are the Sandoval home runs and unfortunately the last out of the series with Miggy left standing on the side of the road. Also not from the series per se but I remember going to the Lions game during it and sitting next to Giants fans from SF who came in for the WS and decided to catch a Lions game while here. Really nice people I have to say. Talked most of the game with them. 1 Quote
