A discussion of the Detroit Tigers past, present and future.
Our First Place detroit Tigers
What an awesome game. Knowing that the Indians lost certainly added a little incentive. Lucky enough to have been there tonight. Everyone was hot, except for Rayburn -- I thought he was our every day second baseman? Keep it up boys
Now if we can get rid of Inge, even if Kelly hits .250 he will out hit Inge. They can trade Raburn for a bag of peanuts or whatever they can get for him. I like Worth at 2nd in a platoon with Santiago. Don't screw up the outfield because all of those kids can run and throw. If Boesch hitting with power, they will be fine because they have the best overall pitching in the AL.
If you ruled the world (don't You?) who would be the Tiger's next manager? For a description of each go the freep.com sports page.
Who should start the first game of the playoffs?
On the 2012 Ballot, who belongs in the Hall of Fame? (vote for as many as you wish.)

Who was the Greatest Tiger in History?
Panel Says...
According to our voters, here are the All-Time Greatest Tigers by position...
Le Grand Orange
Best DH Season for a Bengal
Guillermo is Tops in Our Opinion!
Willie Hernandez posted the best relief season in the history of the Tigers.
The Best Season in Left?
The Rock, no doubt
Ty Cobb
Clearly, we picked Cobb as having the best year in center
Kaline narrowly wins our poll
for best season in right.
George Kell, 1949
The best Tiger season at third
It's Unanimous, Tram had the Best Season at Short
By Acclaim!
Best Second Baseman's Season
Who had the best season at first?
Hammerin' Hank Greenberg, that's who
So what do you think of the Granderson trade?
My Kind of Town
Toledo is our favorite minor league stadium
Old Yankee Stadium - Our Favorite
Winning our poll for favorite non-functioning ball park-Yankee Stadium
Wrigley Field: Our favorite (non-Detroit) operating MLB park
By narrow vote over Fenway, it's Wrigley Field
Sparky Anderson - The Greatest Skipper
With the election of Spark, we complete our little Hot Stove project of selecting the Greatest Tiger Team. This was fun.
Who Was the Greatest Tiger Reliever, DH/PH
We resoundingly agree that Willie Hernandez was the best reliever, but we tied on Rusty Staub or Daryl Evans for DH or pinch hitter
Pitching Rotation is Set (Kind of...)
Jack Morris, Hal Newhouser and Mickey Lolich are the selections for our Greatest Tiger starters. (Couldn't reach agreement on anyone else, so you get to fill in the line up card every fourther day. Gee, this really is like managing the Tigers, isn't it?)
Kaline is the Unanimous Rightfielder
In our second consecutive unanimous vote, Al Kaline, is chosen as the Greatest Tiger Rightfielder!
Cobb is Unanimous!
Nobody liked him, but we agree he was the best in center
Willie is Our man in Left!
Willie Horton is our choice for the greatest Tiger in left field
Good Ol' George Kell, the Best Tiger at the Hot Corner
At least by our vote, he's been elected. (BTW, thanks to Tom Haggerty for the write up on all the third basemen.)
Tram Stands Tall at Short
It's Unanimous
In perhaps our first unanimous vote, Alan Trammell has been chosen as our all Time Tiger Shortstop.
Tiger's Super Second Sacker - Gehringer in a Lanslide!
Once again, I was overwhelmingly out-voted, Charlie Gehringer wins.
Heaven's First Baseman
Hank Greenberg, elected as the Greatest Tiger firstbaseman in History
OUR FIRST INDUCTEE TO THE TIGER HALL OF FAME
By overwhelming majority, you the fans (at least those reading this) chose Bill Freehan as the greatest catcher in Tiger history.
Now if we can get rid of Inge, even if Kelly hits .250 he will out hit Inge. They can trade Raburn for a bag of peanuts or whatever they can get for him. I like Worth at 2nd in a platoon with Santiago. Don't screw up the outfield because all of those kids can run and throw. If Boesch hitting with power, they will be fine because they have the best overall pitching in the AL.
