Season Preview: Detroit Tigers

Now that Spring Training has started, we're continuing on with Season Previews. Last year, they began as a serious analysis and ended as half-assed haiku, which we're just gonna keep rolling with.

The Detroit Tigers
Are going to dominate
Baseball this season

Their batting order?
Hardcore from top to bottom
Their pitching? Watch out!

D-Train is in town
Bonderman and Verlander
Zoom out 'til July

Gambler is old
Doesn't know when to fold 'em
Still gas in that tank

Maggs is so pretty
Best hair in Motor City
Granderson is tough

Watch out for Detroit
Cause they might go all the way
Quote me on that one

I hate the Tigers
But not as much as Cleveland
Go Twins! Go Twins! Go!

Maggs scares me a lot
So does the rest of the team
Your haiku is cool

That has got to be about the greatest thing I have read about my kitties since last season!!! Especially that part about Maggs... so wonderful he is! Watch out American League... this is the year of the TIGER!!!

It was really hard to write... as a Twins fan. But I really do think they're gonna dominate. They saw a window of opportunity (with Willis and Cabrera) and took it. Their future is now - and I like how they operate that way.

Having been a Tigers fan from birth, I can;t tell you how refreshing this is. Not since '84 have we felt this way, and I love this team so, so much. They have lots of charatcer, and Leyland is the man.

Oh, Maggs.

Thanks, Sooze. He sure did enjoy his hot oil treatment.

You know, I have to wonder if this picture was taken after I yelled really loud from a few rows above the dugout, "What're you doing after the game, Maggs?"
