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
That's the way Chuckles!!! Get back on that bandwagon!! They have been fine all along, they are now just getting healthy and have all of their pieces at the same time. They are easily the most talented team in the Central Division and may have the third best lineup in baseball. I love the Yankees, but they are a very ordinary team outside of Yankee Stadium where almost any fly ball has a chance to get out.
ReplyDeleteThey need to tweak a couple of things. They desperately need a second baseman so that they can put Ryan Raburn out of his misery and release him and they can use another veteran arm as a starter or in the bullpen.
It's a long way to go, but they will pull away from here and their best tonic is that they play only Minnesota and Kansas City in their last 13 games of the season. A nice warmup for the playoffs. Verlander will win 18 or 19, but with Fister and Scherzer picking up the slack. Looking forward to seeing Castallenos play in right field in September as a preview to next year when the outfield could have two new players out there.
The Boys Never Left!!!
I agree Bill, but I never have left the bandwagon. I am NOT a fair weather fan. I have been at th egames in the 40's and 90's (not sure which I prefer). I have seen the team hot and the team cold. Through it all I have always loved the Tigs. I do question both Leyland and Dombrowski, but we are all Monday morning quarterbacks. The DL killed us early in the season and is still claiming a couple of our teammates. Have been thrilled by so many of the boys, including Quintin Berry, who finally made the majors at 27. Looking forward to lots of fun ahead. And enjoying that 1 1/2 game lead right now.
