KowboyKoop 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 do u try to be a douche or does that just come naturally?If you crack jokes on my team being an easy sweep and then we are the ones who might be sweeping the Tigers, I'm gonna mention it, sorry. Trust me, I could be rubbing it in a LOT more while I have the chance. Nowhere have I said the Tigers suck. Nowhere have I said that KC is better. After ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL the crap I take as a Royals fan EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME, I'm gonna give some of it back when we win. Deal with it. The Royals are mocked more than any other organization in baseball, some of it deserved, some of it ignorant. When we prove those critics wrong, I'm gonna mention it.

Cleveland has a very very good offense as well and their pitching looks FAR superior.......things can change over the course of the season, but they are not the favorite. Too bad you simply believe the ESPN hype and nothing else. Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad you simply believe the ESPN hype and nothing else.Trouble is ESPN does not have them even getting into the playoffs. They have Cleveland, Sox, Mariners, and Yankees in the WC the last ESPN Baseball program I watched which was the night before opening day. That of course changed because a month or so ago at the beginning of spring training they had them going all the way.Anything can happen and no way am I throwing in the towel on this season like half of Detroit seems to be doing. But this will not be a cake walk as I have said time and time again, I still like our chances but the games have to be played. Link to post Share on other sites

KowboyKoop 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 We have a win, so that statement is false.So by that logic, the Royals are the best team in all of baseball? SWEET!!!!!Seriously though, the White Sox are in for a long year....offense is getting older and not enough young arms to save them....Danks did look good today though.....

JoeyJoJo 18 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Everyone's offense is older. Soooooo? How much older are they than the average?Cabrera, Konerko, Thome, and Dye are all in their 30's. When you are past your prime, that generally means you are declining with each passing year.A team with guys in their mid-20's will be improving as they move into their prime years.Theoretically.That's the point.

KowboyKoop 0 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Everyone's offense is older. Soooooo? How much older are they than the average?Come on. Thome is 37, Konerko is 32, Cabrera is 33, Dye is 34, AJ is 31........a lot of your biggest bats are getting older. No one is saying they are so old right now that they completely suck, but overall, your offensive roster is declining...you know, that offense that score only 693 runs last year, good for DEAD LAST in the American League. The offense was bad last year and is getting older..and the pitching staff was terrible last year and is pretty much comprised of the same people this year, minus Garland, a decent pitcher. Come on.....everyone can see this team is going the wrong way fast...too bad your GM can't see it and is still giving away prospects to acquire older players when they are nowhere close to competing, when they need those prospect oh so badly.Ozzie will be gone by the end of the year and they'll be calling for Williams job as well.

KowboyKoop 0 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Tigers down 8-5 right now......I am rooting for Detroit this series, I hate the ChiSox, but man oh man is Detroit pitching flat out brutal today. Link to post Share on other sites

Grilli is a donkey and it boggles my mind how he is still on the team. Their excuse all off season was that he was not in his usual role last year, having to pitch 3+ innings instead of 1. Pfft, can't seem to get one down today at all.At least the bats are going. One step at a time I guess...pfft. Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 LFTOh well. I got nothing interesting to say. I surely didn't predict this start but I believe it is fair to say no one thought they would start 0-6. I am glad they are going on the road. I think they need to get out of Detroit for a bit. Luckily they get to play a struggling Red Sox team who have lost 4 straight I believe, I could be wrong. Who knows. ergegr wg3art3q 4643 Link to post Share on other sites
jeff_536 3 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Ya, not the start the Tigers were hoping for. On the bright side, the Jays are playing well! Link to post Share on other sites
KowboyKoop 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Please win a game. You can't go 0-10 to start the year...you just can't. You gotta figure to win 90 (at least) to win the division....to start 0-10, you'd have to go AT LEAST 90-62....that's close to .600 baseball the rest of the way.......it's still early enough to think the Tigers can rebound, but time's running out.
