    The Tigers have looked sharp with there 3-1 win on Monday and there 14-3 stomping today. Although the two wins may have come against the lowly Royals, that doesn't mean us Tigers fans don't have anything to talk about. Sure we may have been in the cellar of the league in the past, things are now looking bright for the Tiges. I would'nt be suprised if they at least made the wild card or maybe even win the central division.

    Win Central Division? I highly doubt they would finish over the Sox, Indians, or even the Twins. Some people have the Tigers as being the AL's suprise team. I have the Mariners, but Tigers could turn some heads as well. Losing Closer Todd Jones isn't going to help.

    It's not going to be a surprise that they finish second. Not that big of one. They got Lyle Overbay, AJ Burnett, BJ Ryan, and Troy Glaus, to go along with Vernon Wells and Roy Halladay.

    Winning 10-6 against the Rangers. Hitting 6 HRs two of which were Chris Shelton's who now has 4 on the seaon. This team is going to do something this year I'm telling you.

    Once again Tigers in a 5-2 win. Chris Shelton hit another homer now he has 5 on the season. He should be American League player of the week.

    Tigers are off to a fast start and we are doing it with the bats... not to say that is bad, but to keep playing well we need our pitching to improve every night as well.

    They've been disappointing lately with 4 straight losses, maybe I spoke to soon.

    He is the hottest player in the majors right now. He is on pace to hit like 160 something homeruns, and is tied for second place all time as the fastest player to 7 homeruns. He will be an all-star this year and the best part is, he is young.

    It is a stupid thing to even consider... I think the pitching has taken a dive. The ball parks are also hitters parks so there is another advantage for the hitters..

    Tigers got a win last night. 6-4. Shelton has a .515 batting average, and is the quickest person to get 50 total bases in one season, he got that in 10 games.

    We win again we our on fire a 2-1 victory against the Angels. 1/2 game back from the White Sox. If we play like this we can definetly get the wild card and maybe contend for a Division title.

    I dont see them making the playoffs. Sorry. If you remember the Orioles were red hot coming out of the gate last year, but then they slowed down in finished 4th in the AL East. I see the same thing happening to the Tigers. They started out fast out of the gate but they are going to slow down. Mark my words.

    ^ ESPN disagrees. Last year they all said that the Orioles would slow down too, but this year they think the Tigers are deep enough to make a postseason apperance. We have a couple of vets out there with three great yuong pitchers, Verlander, Zumaya, and of course Jeremy Bonderman. We have the lowest ERA in the AL by far, our pitching is great this year and we can and will make the postseason.

    We did come out fast at the gate, but we're keeping it up - we haven't slowed down or anything. I think we can get the wild car, or even better.
