fivestarjake said:yes there seems to be no fading in the regular season but will the team fold in the playoffs against the more playoff tested teams will be the question. a great regular season doesnt mean automatic success in the playoffs
The_Man said:Yeah, best team in baseball. A magic/swager about this team and they are something special this year. Hope they win the World Series. I love Tigers and Jim Leyland also.
Only player I don't like on that team is Craig Monroe because he has underachieved so bad in the past and has always come up short in the cluth.
That is until recently as he has been on fire since the break and has come up big in the clutch. Still would have liked to package him along with Tata and Sanchez to Wash for Soriano though.
Charlie Maxwell said:Don't put the Tigers in the playoffs just yet. Their August schedule looks like this:
White Sox - 7 times
Twins - 3 times
Yanks - 3 times
Red Sox - 3 times
Rangers - 4 times
Then they play the Angels the first three days in September.
That's 23 games versus teams with winning records. In addition, they have a losing record against three of those teams (White Sox, Red Sox and Yanks)
