Upon further review, fuck Motown for stealing my idea.
It's a spiral riding a paradox into an infinity of suck.

How many games do they have to win from now on(assuming this will be loss #6) to win 90?


The tigers need to go 90-66 the rest of the way. , 24 games over .500
That's a stretch harder to do than 18 games over .500.
And as a bonus, the first 6 losses have been inside the division.

Who cares, it's not about winning a certain number of games, but rather outdoing Cleveland, and as it stands, we are only 3 games behind the Tribe...

You can go ahead and call the White Sox, Twins, and Royals "contenders" in the AL Central, but I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you.

Your record is meaningless this early.

Dallas Mavericks started out 0-4 last year, yet ended up going 67-15.

New York Yankees lost 7 games in a row last April, yet won 94 games...

Records mean nothing.

THE CASE FOR THE TIGERS
History sure doesn't work in their favor. No team has ever started 0-6 and played in a World Series. And only two teams - the '95 Reds and '74 Pirates - have ever recovered from an 0-6 start to make the postseason.

There are more people in the history of baseball that have hit 600 home runs than there are teams to recover from an 0-6 start. So please shove your denial up your ass as soon as your head is removed from it.

The Bengals of Michigan will Crush the Godless Tampons of Boston.
All is well, the playoffs are our divine right.

^^^most uninformed post ever...

I'm sure no team has reached the WS after winning only 43 games 3 years prior either...see anybody can create a stupid stat, history means nothing, it's a year by year game, no team has ever lost the division w/ a 7 game lead with 17 to go, last year the Mets did...

your shit is worthless Bubbles...

Nothing is impossible. I agree.
But don't confuse what is possible with what is likely.

detroit is 0-7, boston is 4-4. that means we only have 155 games to make up that unsurmountable 3.5 games in the standings to catch boston. im not throwing in the towel just yet.

people throw out the % of teams that made the playoffs after starting 0-7. teams usually start 0-7 because they are not playoff teams. kinda putting the cart before the horse putting these tigers with that group.

we need to get healthy, and probably need some help in the pen, and we will be fine. i say this even if boston sweeps us too.

my dad made a good point. 1/2 the team is latino. latinos got that thin blood and dont like playing in the cold. when the weather warms up, so will the bad.

now what that means about october....

also, the guys on baseball tonight made the cogent point about willis. dude is overweight. hes got that big leg kick, but he doesnt lift it like he used to because hes out o shape.

pitching coach needs to find a way to fix that and / or he needs to lose LBs. my guess is the latter, since im guessing you dont just drastically change your delivery over night.

What is the latest on Brandon Inge being traded? The faster the Tigers get rid of him the better. The man has placed a curse on us.

04-13-2008, 10:45 PM
I don't follow...

Balkan

Isn't there talk about him being on the trading block now that we have Cabrera?

Zekyl
04-13-2008, 11:30 PM
I think what he didn't follow was the idea of the curse. How has he placed a curse on us?

DrRay11
04-13-2008, 11:58 PM
Yes, Zekyl has my confusion correctly explained.

Balkan
04-14-2008, 11:36 PM
Oh, my mistake. I find it peculiar that Inge is doing good in contrast to the majority of the team who seems to be frozen right now. By means of curse, by asking for a trade he has created a bad aura in the clubhouse right now.

Lions or Tigers?

This thread is full of confuse.
