I think they're gonna. But depending on how the NL turns out, I may not want them to.

No sarcasm...it looked legitimate. Good to see. Tigers have earned it.

I'm pretty sure he was being sincere because I didn't see anything unclassy about it. He was pointing at them as they were celebrating, as if to give them props.

I'm officially rooting for the Tigers. God knows if the Cardinals somehow win the NLCS, I expect another 4 game sweep

Remember in the 90's (or was it late 80's) when they rioted after the Pistons won the Championships?

I thought GF was being sarcastic, but it looked classy to me. I don't know who he was giving a thumbs up to or for what, but I thought he was saying good job to the Tigers.

Agreed. Impressive gesture from a guy who has done a lot of stupid things.

Did Ilitch have a stroke or something? He doesn't at all look like the Ilitch I remember from the early Red Wing championship years.

I'm very glad I left the house after the top of the 8th.

CONN CHRIS · 10-14-2006, 09:18 PM

Congratulations to Oakland on a great year. That was one heck of a game!

I was a little disappointed in Thomas. While I wanted a Detroit win, I would have loved seeing him be a factor for Oakland.

****ing Chokeland!!!

I'm pulling for a Cards-Tigers series.

That's what I gathered. Nothing about it looked anything but classy.

On another note, I have not seen much of Chavez' play over the years. Very impressive in the field.

Great job Detroit, that a way to represent the Central. Next year it's out turn.

Erik W. · 10-14-2006, 09:28 PM

I wish I had seen Bradley's thumbs up. He's such a good player, with a lot of heart. It'd be nice to see him do something classy rather than stupid. Maybe there's hope.

That was an entertaining series. I figured out that the Tigers were a team of destiny in Game 2. I expected them to win today's game. I told my wife that Magglio was going to hit a HR to end the game, and during the AB I had to get up to break up a commotion in my daughter's room. Halfway down the hall, my wife started shrieking.

I figured that either her water broke or Ordonez had homered.

Thankfully, she recorded the last bit of the game for me.

I expect the Tigers to win in 5 games against whoever from the NL.

My wife saw that, and I had to rewind to see it, and I am flabbergasted.

I think there is a chance that he gets press he does not deserve, or perhaps he's matured.

I think that was about a classy thing as possible.

Absolutely. The coffee thing with Loaiza is a perfect example of it. He didn't even know what had happened and when he was told he didn't believe it. Yet the asswipe announcers got all over him about it.

Half of the things he did in LA weren't that bad/weren't his fault, either.

The guy might be a little unstable, but I really don't think he's a bad guy. And he's apparently in a very good environment right now.

Bradley needs to be signed long term, like today.
