A discussion of the Detroit Tigers past, present and future.
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!
Who had the best season at first?
Hammerin' Hank Greenberg, that's who
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
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
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 Tiger Hall of Fame
Bill Freehan, catcher
Don’t know who, hopefully sherzer today, here. they, the Chicago sports media, are talking about these tigers as if they are the 27 Yankees. ‘The sox need to make a statement winning at least two of three’, is the consensus here.
ReplyDeleteSupposed to rain all night and tomorrow here, so, we may see two on Sunday, or a postponement to later. Who knows.
As for now, it is a beautiful day on the south side of Chicago for a ball game. mid 60’s, not a cloud. And a slight north breeze blowing out to right as ‘the cell’ sits. Hope the prince is taking notes.
(posting on behalf our pal, Jim Domzal, who's having trouble getting in to the elite "At the Corner" clubhouse.
Good game today. White Sox mad some great plays in the field and the Boyz were still in it until the end. Scherzer actually looked like a pitcher today.
ReplyDeleteAdam Wilk gets the first win for a starter tomorrow in a rain fest.
The Boyz are looking good and they are very strong. If Victor Martinez comes back this year, they WILL win the World Series. Their batting order is relentless and they will murder mediocre and bad pitching, which most of it is.
Inge is coming back tomorrow, which sucks. They don't need a 35 year old, $5M part-time player, that can't hit, when they can have a guy that plays just about everywhere and makes $500K and is only 26 years old. On top of that, he can easily out hit Inge. Heck, Chuck can out hit Inge, and he hasn't played for 40 years.
Terry Foster has a great article in the News tonight on the Inge factor. Enough already. Pair him up with Craig Monroe on the post game report.
Enjoy the sunshine and hopefully a weekend of good baseball.
Thank God for Bill's poor memory -- I couldn't even hit 40 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI agree on Inge: great guy but his time to retire has come. Make him a coach or kick him up to the front office to reward him for his loyalty, etc., but get him off the roster.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Scherzer, I talked to one of the Tigers' minor-league hurlers during spring training and he said, "The problem with Scherzer is you never know which one will show up: the one who dominates or the one who makes you wonder why he's on a major-league roster."
