The Detroit Tigers?!?

The Detroit Tigers?!?GO TIGERS!!
I heard on the radio this morning...
- Thread starter SkaredShtles
- Start date
freakin hippie
They even managed to win a game, -SS-. They better not get too used to it though.
A teams name should be more indicative of the region. Detroit should change it's name to the Mullets or possibly the Triple Bypasses.
That is a good point, Westy. How the heck did they get the Tigers?
Or "The Inmates" or "BadMusicArtists" or "Rust"
Or the Lions? Has anyone ever been there? Maybe we're all in the dark on this one.
"Tigers" resulted from the African influence.
My wife's whole family is from the D-troit 'burbs, so I have to visit a couple times per year...in fact, I'll be up there in another month. The nice parts and really nice and the shi++y partys are really shi++y. As you drive through the city to get to the NorthWestern burbs, it's like a burned-out industrial nightmare missing only Mad Max for full effect...but once you get to the nice areas, it's nothing but bronzed communities plopped amidst golf courses, lakes and outdoor recreation areas...and don't let anyone tell you Apartheid has ended.
A more suitable name might be the Soweto Tigers or the Detroit Diamondsmugglers.

I'm calling you out on this one. It's Michigan. Even the nice parts are $hitty.
I know one man in Hawaii who's been waiting YEARS for this to happen. Higgins, Rick, T.C. --they ALL thought he was nuts.....but look who's laughing now.
....I'll take an Old Duseldorf in a long neck bottle, please.
(That's such an obscure joke, I'm thinking 3 people might get it out of 1,000)

I hear they beat the Yankees?
and the world rejoiced.
You wouldnt know it from watching ESPN or listening to sports radio. You'd think that Alex Rodriguez and Joe Torre personally forfieted each game in an effort to spite their owner. It's all "Yankees this, Yankees that, torre this, A Rod that," like the Tigers werent even involved.I hear they beat the Yankees?
It's ok though because all the Yankee info that is filling sports news is about how much the Yankees suck. How can you get sick of hearing that?
I dunno. I just think its crap. Maybe you guys dont notice it much because where you live, but all I hear all season is Yanks and Redsox news ALL THE TIME. There are, believe it or not, several other teams out there. I feel bad for the Detroit fans. Even when the White Sox won it all last year, it was a story for about a day, and then back to the Yankees. WTF?
Bears coming up on Mike and Mike right now though...
I can understand the rest of country getting sick of Yankees/Red Sox. I guess I don't notice it as much because it's actually relative in the northeast. At least when I travel for work, I always know what's going on with the Sox.
Edit: Mike and Mike love the Bears. The question is, who loves them more?
Don't feel bad for Detroit fans. They're a tough lot what with the Lions and all.
