Guest Smues Report post Posted October 7, 2006 On my drive up to work I had the game on the radio (why the fuck I get the Yankee network in Anchorage I have no idea) and the female announcer they have said if the Yankees lose this series it's much worse than losing 4 in a row to Boston 2004. Because losing to a team that won 95 games and was at the top of the league most of the year is so much worse then being the only team in history to blow a 3-0 series lead, and doing it to your arch rival. Sheesh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2006 looks like sitting out for such a long time made Bonderman a bit cold. the no-hitter streak gets broken, but rest of the team keeping anybody from going past 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2006 That's a shame (losing the no hitter). I'm really glad I was able to get home from work around 4:30 to watch this game. As someone who more or less stopped watching baseball by 1995 after following it a great deal as a child (I still followed the standings and went to games with people, but I didn't spend time watching it on TV to see the Tigers lose) I'm really happy to see people excited about baseball in the area. A friend of mine got me back into the game big time recently, so it's been a great season to be a Tiger's fan. It's also funny that early in what I remember being the 2004 season, a friend and I went to Comerica Park and saw Bonderman start a game the Tiger's badly lost. This turnaround is great.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2006 this one will hurt almost as much as the sox comeback. this is a first round loss to a team they underestimated & thought shouldn't even be in the playoffs. its been 6 years now since they've won. for yank fans, i don't think its "oh well, next year" anymore like it has been in the past. I actually agree with this. This supposed "Greatest Offense Ever" has, outside of one 5-run inning, done bupkis this series and have looked absolutely putrid these last two games. Hey Bob, where'd you get that Red Sox hat in '04? I'm grabbing me a Tigers hat and jumping my ass on the bandwagon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. This could never reach 2004 levels. Not even a 3 game sweep would have been like that. I'm not so sure the Yankees underestimated this team at all, or claimed they shouldn't be in the playoffs. That's just some Leyland kool-aid. edit: And it was all a media swirl with the "best lineup ever" stuff. That had yet to be proven, and was proven false.

Exactly. The media underestimated the Tigers. The media said they were "lucky." This hasn't come out of any Yankee mouths, has it? If so, I must've missed it. It's a shame you wrote your team off so early, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Paul Report post Posted October 7, 2006 Agreed. They did have a swagger, as they came out swinging in game 1. I'm sure after that game, a few of them thought it would be easy. But the swagger has been gone since game 1. I never even saw it when they were ahead in game 2. My hat's off to Tigers pitching. I thought Oakland may have had the best rotation in the post-season. But man, Detroit is really tearing shit up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
