Just read this article where Jim Leyland cracked the whip, saying the Tigers gave up. Are the Tiger's a play at -150. Hard to believe a (2-10) is a -150 favorite. Any thought?

Normally I would consider it but according to the advice i've been getting it's not wise to chase a team on a slump. While I think this is a good motivation tactic & the pitching matchup looks in Detroit's favor you are probably better off holding your chips until the Tigers actually get a few games in the win column.

I really like the over here. Bonderman is not a great pitcher and the Tigs bats are due to explode on someone. This Blackburn kid is a major leaguer but he is no Tim Lincecum.

whenever you have a team that was hyped up before the season , a team that aquires anothers teams cleanup hitter ... a team we had such high expectations for .... loses
you ALWAYS have to look for a winning streak to start . before we know it we will look up and see the Tigers have won 5 in a row.
will it be tonight they start a winning streak ?
if bonderman can pitch well then they most likely get the W
tonight , if Det pitchers give it up then just like any team they could lose . this doesn't help right , well , I say what has happened to Det thus far put them in THE SLOW STARTER CATEGORY and thats the only category it puts them in .
What Det has done so far means very little in how they will do the rest of the month of april .
If Det gets some quality pitching this week , they should be just fine , forget about their slow start .
We all know they have great players that make up their team and a passionate manager , at least I think he is

Tigers go to Clev for 2 wed thurs then they head to Canada .
Sabathia gets to show us why he is a dirty mo fo and will throw games whenever he likes . Indians will not be a big fav so he wont throw batting practice vs Det .
If the Tigers can beat Clev both games they should take 3 out of 4 from Tor , NO CLOSER FOR TOR IS A BEAATCHHH .
Tigers at BJays seems complicated on the surface because of the Tigers horrible start and the BJays inconsistent ways thus far .
BJays sweep the RSox then get swept by the As , then the BJays sweep the Rangers IN TEXAS . lmao
If anyone had those things occuring please message me , you are a bonafide guru and best ever .

So , back to the topic of the Tigers probable streaking , with the Tigers playing 6 games from now til sunday , imagine they win all 6 . Heads would be spinning and people would think mlb made no sense at all .
STREAK

Personal files . I have been on the $ with both AL games thus far so I need Det and Tor to give me a 4 - 0 AL sweep for tues.. fade me on 1 of those if you like either of those puppies .

I am staying away from tigers for now, they scare me...


Its a long season

right right , that would be one way of thinking I respect but totaly disagree with at the same time .
Tigers go on winning streak , when do you jump in the car ?
usually the average to above average capper will jump IN ONLY AFTER A TEAM STARTS WINNING .
So they win 3 or 4 in a row , you jump in on a fri or sat and catch an L and miss the 4 W$s .

examples are too many and vary to much to make any concrete ....
usually a team will switch gears and most will jump in the car when it's out of gas for a spell .

[Saunders FTW]

I def see your point, but as a very conservative gambla, I stay away if they are going through losses

[Cloak & Dagger]

last time they went on a tear when leyland said they needed to step up publicly

if there was any time to jump on DET it would be NOW

[Saunders FTW]

i guess we will see

[Cloak & Dagger]

i guess we will see

put it this way....if they lose the next few games even after the callout by leyland

then you will know they are a garbage team

and you go against them all year long...

[chipski]

to quote an announcer , "these guys are sleeping giants .

Have noticed Polanco , Renteria , others not getting the timely hits like they will eventually . Hell , the whole lineup will get hot . I see them taking 3 of 4 in Tor .
The Tigers at Indians is cold vs cold so that should be a very interesting 2 game series in Clev .
Galaragga vs Sabathia , now that is some funny shit there to the naked eye , but is a play on Tigers or no play at all .
Most def a play on the over as well .
If Sabat decides to pitch great then that's fine , if Tigers continue to not hit with men in scoring position , I will not mind the L too much .

Would seem a chase on Tigers to wake up sure , but this will only be true if they lose to Minn tonight , down 4 - 2 in 7th inn

If I could bet right now I would take the Tigers down 2 runs in the 7th

[Cloak & Dagger]

2 comeback wins on back to back nights....looks like leyland knows how to light a fire eh?

[Saunders FTW]

wow, even if the tigers have a horrible year, im just too scared to bet against them because of that powerful line up

feel ya , the way the tigers started so poorly will stick in people's minds for awhile , but will be a distant memory like most things overshadowed by their recent success .
this time next month it will be like it never happened .

though their pitching could be somewhat suspect , what AL teams isint , most are any given day questionable at best .
good AL pitcher gives up 3 in 5 or 6 inn , he did a good job .
