This is a DISGRACE!
Posted on 10/07/2006 4:38:06 PM PDT by dirtboy
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.

The way the team came back out of the locker room to celebrate with the fans was one of the coolest thing I've seen in sports in a while. Very cool, and very un-PC. A few folks apparently cannot appreciate such a statement in our stupified day and age.

Who do you like in the Oakland/Detroit series?
I am about 30 minutes from the A's ballpark.

No need to ban him. Having an attitude like that must be punishment enough.

I have a suggestion - why don't you wait to see if fans actually wreck anything first? Okie, dokie!

It's a toss up. The Tigers need to avoid a let down.
To: mainepatsfan
No matter. They knocked off the Yankees and that's good enough for me.

I'll guess I'll pull for the Tigers just out of gratitude.
To: dirtboy
Wow! Who'da thunk it!
I grew listening to Ray Lane and Ernie Harwell giving the play by play on Mickey Lolitch, Al Kaline and that 31 game winner Denny LcLain!

annoucing "...you don't care."
WHY!
Good grief.

He said it was a joke (see post #53). The problem is, on the internet, no one can tell you are deadpanning the punch line.

Their celebration in the stands was so cute! The fans loved it.
But Oakland's still gonna kick their butts next week! Woohoo! :)
