Well here we go again. And my Tigers are going to take the A.L. Central for sure baby! :thumup:

What teams do you like this season?

What are your picks for the division winners?

The darned Chicago Bleached Hosery are ALREADY bugging me, even without their annoying manager Gilligan!

But it's nice to see Gilligan get in trouble already in Miami. Does he admire Hitler too? :laugh:

I'm predicting an only slightly better season for
the SF Giants. Their lack of offense will keep them
from making it to the W.S., again.

Its way early - but I am shocked the Mets are 6-3 at this point. i know they won't win anything this year - but if they can stay competitive and around .500 - at least I'll have something to watch until football season starts.

Wow! The other night the Tigers manager Jim Leyland left Verlander in to pitch the ninth with the Tigers up 3-1. Well soon it was 3-2 with the bases loaded.

On his 130th pitch Verlander struck out the last batter with a fastball. It was clocked at 100MPH!

What a great finish!

Anaheim's my team. I hope the addition of Pujols helps, although they really need to ditch Vernon Wells. No gas left in that tank.

Benches emptied tonight in the Tigers/Royals game after the batting Royal's catcher got hit by a pitch, then proceeded to slam his bat down so hard it almost hit the Tiger's catcher who got into it with him. It was a one run game so our pitcher wasn't throwing at him deliberately. No big brawl resulted, but these Royals are one pissed off team. Nothing seems to be going right for them, and they appear frustrated.

Heard they got into it with the Indians last weekend.

Tigers win again!

Of course. Wouldnt there have to be at least one other real major league team in the AL Central for there to be any competition:)

Seriously I like Detroit's team. I anticpate the AL Playoffs will be very interesting.

Tigers should win the AL Central. I like the Rangers in the AL West and Rays in the AL East.

Giatns in the NL West, Cardinals in the Central and Braves in the East, although any team in that division could win it.

I don't like the Rays in the East; unfortunately I don't see my beloved Red Sox winning there either. I am thinking Baltimore sneaks up and surprises everyone or ..... this hurts to say ... the Yankees.

My Tigers just got their first taste of the Rangers, and that team is scary!

I'm gonna puke! The Seattle fish catchers handed my Tigers their ASS tonight.

That Suzuki character or whatever his name is was batting .254 coming into the game, and proceeds to hit three singles and steal third.

Inge strikes out with a crucial runner in scoring position. He gets ferocious boos at every at bat now that he's one for 30 or something awful. HE CAN'T HIT THE BALL! Get rid of him! He blew a double play as well.

Not that any of you ignoramuses would know or care, but my precious Tigers just got killed by SEATTLE! We got swept at home! By SEATTLE!

1-6 at home.

Fired Inge.

Pitching suffering.

No hits or runs.

Not a good week for my Tigers.

There is a sick celebration going on about releasing Inge that totally ignores his long-term contribution to the team.

The Jays were tied for first in the deadly AL East until they got to Baltimore.
I blame Spencer for the sweep they just suffered, he stole our baseball mojo.

Isn't that the same team Phil Humber of the White Sox threw his perfect game against?
