Watching and Listening to the Tigers:

1. The FS-D, Radio, and National broadcasting schedule for the Tigers is at this [Link].

2. Here's some places where you can watch and listen to the Cats online if you do not have cable (FS-D or a subscription to MLB Network), either live or at a later time:

A. MLB Gameday Audio is just $19.99/year, and I believe you can stream that to any device live... or listen later to the broadcast. ST, regular season, and post-season included. There's some in-market restrictions; check their FAQ's and terms of service.

B. MLB.tv is a much more pricier option, starting at $109.99/year ($19.99/month) for the standard version, which doesn't allow you to stream to devices. The premium, at $129.99/year ($24.99/month) does. You can watch the game at a time and place of your own choosing. There's some in-market restrictions; check their FAQ's and terms of service.

C. ESPN Gameday (available from the scores page), or the MLB GameDay page are online graphical versions of the game in progress.

I've found ESPN is slightly faster on updating (which doesn't say much, neither are particularly quick), but both services have intrusive, embedded flash ads that sometimes eat into the start of the next inning. Still, they're free.

D. There are two Detroit-area radio stations, run by CBSSports, that broadcast Tiger games over the internet as well. They have a "listen live" button that's worth checking out:

- 97.1 The Ticket (carries the majority of regular season games) and WXYT 1270 (mostly ST games). [Link]

Fan predictions for Tigers rank in the final standings:

- CephasJames: 1st place finish by 1-2 games; Win the WS against the Nats in 6 at Comerica Park. (At the trade deadline, they pick up a high-quality reliever for Dirks, The donkelly, and 2 high-end prospects.) (Post #27)

- Conn_Chris: 2nd or 3rd out of the money by a fair margin: Injuries of significance and Scherzer will be a distraction. (Post #21)

- DamPenguin: 2nd due to weak bullpen and lack of depth. (Post #32)

- David Watts: 3rd, due to injuries. (Post #33)

- Oman19: 1st place by at least 5 games; Beat Boston in ALCS in a 6-7 game series; Lose to Washington in 6 with Fister pitching 2 gems against them. (Post #25)

- Patrick_Richards1: Win division by 3; lose in ALCS by 6. Predict injury to one of the stars. (Post #30)

- RandyTiger: 2nd place by a game: Bullpen and injury issues. (Post #19)

- RchW: 1st, loss in ALDS. Mid-season trade may change everything. (Post #34)

- Tram2Whitaker: 1st place if they can stay healthy, 4th if not. (Post #39)
