Detroit Tigers Won the American League Pennant Today

[Larry Lucido]

Lolich is still baking, as far as I know. McClain is out and commentating on the morning show on WRIF.

[freedomson]

My son is 19 years old and practically grew up in Tiger Stadium. 12 straight years of losing seasons has been tough but, we kept going to the park and hoping. It's great, at last, to be able to see him experience winning.

I was a young fool standing outside at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull, 22 years ago this very night when the Tigers last won the World Series in '84.

BTTT

How long before Detriot riots

Won't happen. This isn't football or basketball.

[buccaneer81]

My worst playoffs memory is the I-70 series.

NBC's as well.

[richmwill]

You just "figure they will", right? Detroit won the NBA title a couple of years ago, and no riots.

I was there too ... that was a great night!!!

Only better time was the Wings cup win in '97.

[softwarecreator]

Would anyone notice a difference if they were ;)

As a Michigander I would take offense to that comment, newbie, but it's true.  =)

[RedRover]

Congratulations! Hope the Tigers are the next world champs.

OK, Detroit will be looted and on fire in about 10 minutes.

WRONG.............Every news report out of Detroit has been positive. So whats your point.......???

[MetalHeadConservative35]

yes yes yes of course,

detroit is a riot town we riot, because were backwards ghetto people. sarcasm off

1997 Stanley Cup win NO RIOTS 1998 Stanley Cup win NO RIOTS 2002 Stanley Cup win NO RIOTS 2004 NBA Championship win NO RIOTS

u from espn?

or better yet have you ever been to detroit?

my guess is no, therefore, you have no room to talk.

[JohnD9207]

Well said!!!

[r9etb]

Your creative lack of capitalization really did the trick. Boy, am I defeated.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

After the way their regular season ended, I never expected them to survive the first round.

Jim Leyland must have had some magic words and the players clearly love their manager.

[MetalHeadConservative35]

and your capacity for talking out your buttocks about a city that your not from or, have probably never been to, doesnt make you any better than i,'

so perhaps you should quit while your ahead, if you can read english (and obviously you can,) then how i type on my keyboard capitalization or otherwise should not matter

[zook]

Go Tigers!

I was at game 4 in 68 and at game 3 in 84. I don't think I'll get to any game this time, but if my nerves can take it I'll be watching on TV.

[r9etb]

if you can read english (and obviously you can,)

And I can read your drivel, too. What's your point, little fella?

My suggestion would be for you to drink a couple more beers and pass out.

[Numbers Guy]

Incidentally, he said something true about Detroit.

What? That some people burned a car in Detroit 22 years ago? And that 6 Detroit teams have won titles since then without any car burning incidents, yet people are still generalizing because some idiots set one car on fire one generation ago?

I was there today. There was no riot. There was no burning. There was nothing bad going on at all, just people running around slapping hands and hugging. Generalizations about a city should be based on actual facts, not ancient memories.

[MetalHeadConservative35]

And I can read your drivel

hmm...ive heard better insults before, better luck next time

What's your point, little fella?

My suggestion would be for you to drink a couple more beers and pass out.

havent drank any in over 8 hours. and that was a can of bud light.

your insults are much like the yankee's starting lineup, theyll swing at anything, yet can't hit a damn thing.

[PGalt]

Congratulations Detroit Tigers!
