chelios4eva 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 ARE YOU F-ING KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!? I'm in Chigago right now and didn't have time at all today to see the game, I went to MLB.com and saw how we freaking won. HOLY CRAP, this is the most amazing season for any team and for any sport. A cindeella team that no one thought would even make the playoffs, who had the worst A.L record in history 3 years ago, going to the world series by a walk off in the bottom of the 9th... wow just wow.

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 I didn't see any of the game either but I couldn't believe how the game ended when I saw the highlights tonight out at dinner. You knew that ball was gone once it struck the bat. It was just tagged. What a way to advance to the World Series, a walk-off home run. I'm not a big baseball fan, but my family is huge on the Astros so I kinda side to them. They've had a lot of good games against the Cardinals in recent years so if the Cards advance to the World Series, I'll be rooting for the Tigers even harder. Congrats Tigers, Congrats Fans, Congrats City of Detroit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gowingsgo 3 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 My first baseball memories are of my dad telling me of the times he played hookey from school to go watch the Tigers play in Tiger Stadium. This is cool for my dad to see his team make it to the WS. I think the Tigers will win it all, but St. Louis wont be easy if thats who they play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heaton 1 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 I'm going to be at the game tomorrow and I have tickets for Sunday but I hope I won't have to use them. We got standing room only and we're leaving at noon, I'm glad I bought new shoes this week! The game was unbelievable, was the best experience I've ever had at a sporting event.

gowingsgo 3 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 The game was unbelievable, was the best experience I've ever had at a sporting event. I bet man.

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 Cardinals take a 2-1 lead tonight. Either way the NLCS goes, the Tigers would have to be considered huge favorites. The pitching the Cardinals and Mets have doesn't even come close to what the Tigers have. Bummer for the Mets that Pedro and El Duque are hurt, otherwise we might already be looking forward to a Tigers-Mets series. I can't decide who I'd rather face. It'd be fun to do the "rubber series", so to speak, with the Cards, them having beaten us in 1934 and the Tigers getting revenge in 1968. Tigers/Cardinals is definitely a great old-school matchup, plus I think the Cardinals have the weaker lineup. But it would also be fun to beat both New York teams in the same postseason, and new WS combinations are also fun. I think my slight preference goes to the Cardinals for being old-school, or at least older-school than the Mets. It comes down to the fact that if the Tigers lose, I'd rather lose to the Cards than a team from New York. And when in doubt, root for the team that hasn't been to the Series in a longer time - the Mets went in 2000. Also, the Cards have cooler unis. WAY cooler.

Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 Damn that sucks. We're so hot right now and we gotta wait a week to play?! Probably good for the pitching, but I really really want this to just keep on rolling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 Damn that sucks. We're so hot right now and we gotta wait a week to play?! Probably good for the pitching, but I really really want this to just keep on rolling. No worries. IMO, we're light-years ahead of either NL team, so it won't matter. Look at the pitching matchups today and yesterday. Jeff Suppan? Steve Trachsel? Oliver Perez? Casey and Zumaya can get healthy in a week, and besides, now we get a whole week to savor this. 'Cause I dunno about everyone else, but I was watching BBTN last night, and got all kinds of chills and butterflies looking at the player pictures and press conferences, all with the beautiful Olde English D on the cap, and hearing the words World Series said over and over in conjunction. I've spent my whole life following the Tigers 11 months out of the year, and then having to step aside while other teams take the big stage with the bright lights in October. Kept having to watch arrogant empires like the Yankees or uppity little punk upstarts like the D-Backs or Marlins take the limelight. Since I started following baseball ('89 was the first World Series I saw - it was the earthquake series, I was seven years old) there's only a small handful of teams that haven't been to the postseason: Expos/Nationals, Devil Rays, Brewers, Royals, Rockies, and of course, Tigers. So I have basically been on Cloud 9 all month, and I am absolutely going to enjoy this next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrie 900 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) I've been a Baseball and Tiger fan my whole life, but Magg's HR was to me as exciting as when Shanny put it in the empty net in 1997 vs. Colorado to eliminate them from the playoffs. What a great moment! One more round to go, and we can really party ! I watched the game with my Dad and Uncle at my Uncle's house. When Magg's hit it, we all jumped out of our chairs, arms raised, yelling/screaming, etc... My Uncle was yelling pointing at the tv, "It's going out, it's going out, it's going out!!". Man, my stomic was in knots the entire game. I said to my Dad and Uncle, near the end of it when it was really close, "I haven't had this tense feeling since the 2002 Stanley Cup run". You gotta love sports!! Mets, Cards, doesn't matter. Right now nothing can stop this team. Those 'Destiny' signs people hold up really are true. Right. I think the 2006 Tigers are a lot like the 1997 Red Wings. They are unbeatable right now! Edited October 15, 2006 by Barrie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's exactly how I was feeling. I was so excited when we tied the game at 3, but in the 9th with 2 outs I got soooo nervous and my palms were sweating, and heart was racing. When Maggs stepped up to the plate I thought wow wouldn't it be just perfect for him to hit a homer right now. And after he hit it we all went NUTS. I got up screaming and jumping up and down then I hugged my sister and Dad and we all were just amazed! It was just such an adrenaline rush! I haven't felt that way since 2002 either! It's definitely something I'll never ever forget. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's definitely something I'll never ever forget. I actually called out and said to everyone here watching the game that Tigers were going to win on a walk off HR. I thought for sure tho that it would be Monroe hitting it tho. I agree with you completely. I leaped off my chair and to this day, I still dont know what the announcers on tv said. Ordonez's HR is etched in my sports history memory banks for life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
