I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I AM SEEING ON TV!
THE DETROIT TIGERS, HAVING DEFEATED THE YANKEES, ARE NOT CONTENT TO CELEBRATE IN THE LOCKER ROOM.
They have the gall to go out to the field, PUBLICLY CARRYING BOTTLES OF CHAMPAIGN, and are spraying the CROWD WITH SUCH on NATIONAL TV! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!! THINK OF THE CHILDREN GETTING HIT WITH SPRAYS OF CHAMPAIGNE!
Actually, quite frankly, it was so damn refreshing to see a pro sports team appreciate their fans so much, I'm gonna go get another beer and toast them for being so-un, like, today.
Go Tigers!
LMAO!
LOL!
A Miracle!!!!!! The Tiger's Won!!! Can't believe it. The last time I lived in Detroit in the 80's, they won. Now, I'm back, and they are doing it again. Maybe they should have moved me back sooner.
Did you see Rogers dump champagne on the cop? LOL
We've waited 26 years for this day. We are going to celebrate tonight if we never win another game.
Didn't the Tigers win in 87?
They won the division and lost to the Twins in the ALCS. They last won the WS in 1984.
I was just gonna comment on that. Rogers marinated that cop's cap pretty good. Imagine pouring champaign on a cop in public and not spending the night as their guest! The whole thing was so different from the scripted, overpriced nonsense that passes for sports or entertainment nowadays that, despite the fact I don't know anyone on the Tigers, I had to applaud them (that and the fact that they beat the friggin' overpaid and underperforming Yankees).
Awesome!
...get packin' Yanks (I'm so sick of you!)
Nope. Twins.
They made the playoffs but didn't go very far. This team lost 119 games two years ago. That is why they are going nuts tonight.
Hey, since the Phillies didn't make the playoffs, GO TIGERS! (hey, my brother DOES live in the Detroit area as well).
To bad, so sad!
Party hardy, Tigers. You've got a bumnpy road ahead; enjoy the interim win, while you can!
