Re: Detroit Tigers 35-14 (.714)
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] What were the odds that they'd have this record or better before the season? 1,000-1? Pretty amazing. Yeah, they've only played 2 games against the East so far, but it's still pretty amazing for a team that's been among the worst in MLB for quite some time. Good for them. [/ QUOTE ] Don't feel like going through a detailed analysis, but a quick run-through of the #s makes 250-1 seem a lot closer than 1000-1. [/ QUOTE ] this is why clarkmeister should consider staying out of baseball threads. i guessed 150-1 and it's much closer to 250-1 than 1000 to 1 is. I'll also bet anyone even money that the Tigers don't finish in first. [/ QUOTE ] Sweet jesus you are an idiot. If I had instead said 1,000,000 to one instead of 1,000 to one would you still be whipping out a calculator? I suppose that if someone said before the season they had "no chance" of going to the playoffs, you'd have also said they, in fact, had some nonzero chance? LOL. You must suck at real life conversation. [/ QUOTE ] looks like Hack will become #164

Re: Detroit Tigers 35-14 (.714)
good for the Tigers
I have this lovely dream of the White Sox winning 95+ games and not making the playoffs. It will be fun to live in Illinois again.

As for the Tigers, between this and the Pistons, it's almost enough for my die-hard Detroit father to forget about the Red Wings. Next thing you know, he'll expect something out of the Lions...

Re: Detroit Tigers 35-14 (.714)
nolanfan, I 100% expect the Lions to win five games this year. Anything more is completely unacceptable, and would probably result in a mass riot until Millen is fired. This team has such a strong tradition deep-rooted in losing, anything straying from the norm will NOT be tolerated.
