Dude this guy posted this an hour ago, called it right down to the pose with the arms in the air. Unbelievable!

 

He's a Sox fan who was predicting a negative about his team. He was right.

These clowns on Tigers Live need to be replaced, ASAP.

I’m sure fans of the Red Sox — and there are many great and astute fans of this team and others teams, let’s be fair — thought “wait until the Tigers play a real team and see what happens,” and we did. It is consummately fair to say that this is not a fluke.

I mean….we’ve won series against the Yankees, Padres, Mariners, Royals, Twins and now the Red Sox….

Hinch punched all the wrong buttons today and we still won. A gritty performance. I hope the rain holds off for a happy SkubDay.

Seems like I’ve heard “the Tigers go for the sweep” a lot already this year

tomorrow is NOT a day game?  That's on Boston for not wanting a get-away afternoon game?

Tigers only going to Toronto with an off day Thursday and Boston going home with an off day Thursday so I’m sure the Tigers preferred a night game and the rules didn’t prevent it.

Somebody put the walk-off to moneyball. I love the catcher's reaction

El Mago is back..comback player of the year currently in hand and still searching for MVP ! Tell me why not after watching this game, or four home runs in the 9th inning game or this season !!!

That look on the catcher’s face of “you’re kidding me… again?“ was a priceless unmediated human response. We Tigers fans have been on the receiving end of that sharp stick poked in our own eye often enough that there is some gratification in it happening to others although I’m not exactly proud to feel this way but hey they’re competitors they’re grown-ups and the highs and the lows are a part of the game

Rightly or wrongly, and in fact, probably wrongly because we “bought Javy” it feels like daddy didn’t buy this team for us and that the team earned it. There’s a lot about this club that feels earned and not bought or given, even though it’s a corporate-owned entity that functions according to the tempos and the pulse rates of an impersonal economic machine.

In the end, however, it feels miraculously personal and achieved through heavy lifting mediated by a lot of thinking and planning which has worked. What this club is doing is, I think, one of the most gratifying experiences I’ve ever had as a fan and it is exceeding all my expectations.

Javy has been more or less endured than enjoyed in Detroit and witnessing this payoff now is amazing.

Virginia weather is really bad this week.  I've seen a couple mentions that this one might be at risk because of storms.  How does that look?   Wet driveways?  Smelt running?

The Royaks lost but Guardiaks won.  We won which is awesome.

The smiling logo made it harder for me to dehumanize them by adding a K to their name.

Any link to a Dickerson call?

I’ve been watching for decades and that was the first time I’ve ever actually noticed one.  Weird.

When I went to Tigers fantasy camp in 2007 and I was having joint pain in my thumb while swinging a bat, they gave me a thumb guard to use, which felt so weird that I just said **** it and dealt with the pain.

Red Sox fans are insufferable.   They were already griping about the team during Spring Training in 2005.

Players in general prefer night games over day games because (a) it’s cooler at night and the sun’s not there to get in their way; and (b) most games are already night games so more night games keeps them on a more predictable schedule for their bodies.

But, it appears Tigers marketing likes a day game mid-week though for capturing the business walk up market.

He threw a pretty good pitch that had a unlikely and bad result. All forgiven now.
