That stadium has the most beautiful empty seats, thousands and thousands of them.

Well at least us (transplanted) fans have the Wings.
Go WIngs!

The headline is misleading because the Tigers have scored 6 runs this season, which means that they have had at least 6 guys who have touched 3rd base and kept going. They've also had 3 doubles and 2 home runs, so it's not like they are doing horrible, they just have had one guy actually stop when he got to third base. They still suck though.

Nothing to see here, move along...

If I had 'played six games' and only gotten to third once --- I would have moved to a monestary.

Wait a sec.... *pulls out calculator..*
Six runs/Six games = Major suckage.

Wonder if they would let me play left field? I'd be a great DH too. :)

They aren't hitting it.

Those damn Yankees!

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

Ahh.....but the real question is. "Whose on first?"

close behind them in suckness are the Brew-crew, with a 0-6 record.

Meanwhile, what's going on in KC? Don't those guys know they're not supposed to go 5-0 at the start?

There's no way I can filter out sports news from showing up on the main page, is there?

Go Yanks.

Why the fark do we always end up with some loser complaining about sports on Fark? If you don't like it don't click it.

Life is really simple when you break it down.

The only thing detroiters use is the tigers logo, without the tiger. 313 Representing

Duke sucks?

The only thing I can say after looking at that lineup is, the payroll should be about $2 million. Most of those guys should be flipping burgers.

6 games into the season the detroit lions won't have made a third down.

Moonman9j9: Why the fark do we always end up with some loser complaining about sports on Fark? If you don't like it don't click it.

Yeah, but it sort of takes up a slot that could have been used for a non-sports related article.

0-162! 0-162! Oh wait... that's Selig's great team! Never mind...

Hey Moonman9j9, suck my butt. I don't click on them. I'm sick of seeing them. Forgive me for only wanting news about stuff that actually matters.

Go back to wasting your life watching men in tight pants chase balls around.

That too, Lordargent. Plus it takes bandwidth. If we could pick the types of news we want to see, the pages would load a lot faster. It's often kinda slow, and I'm on a T1.

[b]Whose on first?[/b]

Your definately rediculous!

Forgive me for only wanting news about stuff that actually matters.

Obviously, someone doesn't know how to read the top of the page, where it says very clearly:

complelety unrelated, but still great to see...Krause resigned today

/threadjack

RoastBeef,

I vote, all Boobies and Florida.

Meanwhile, what's going on in KC? Don't those guys know they're not supposed to go 5-0 at the start?

Say hello to 8-0, Kansas City's playing in Detroit this week.

Hahaha..

Go Royals, Screw Selig

RF

Something, right?

Brewerfanforlife: Knowing the Brewcrew that's solo shots, and the club ERA is at 10.
[/bitter Milwaukee fan]

Hahahaha. RoastBeef thinks Fark is for news that really matters. Man, I don't know if I ever could have made it through my day not knowing about that overturned bee truck in Florida.

Can't say I'm suprised, Brewerfanforlife... WI deserves a better baseball team. :-(

If I want to see news that matters, I go to Google News.

If I want b00bies and funny crap, I come here.

Brewerfanforlife, if we could select what categories we want to see, then you could unselect all except sports if you want.

Greasedninja, sounds good.

Miles_OToole, right, Fark isn't a news site.

By the way, your Tampa Bay Devil Rays are 2-5... woo-HAH!

PlatinumDragon, sports news is neither boobies nor funny. Except for the occasional Kournikova nip shot or whatever.

Anyone blaming Bush for this yet?

It was fun being in Detroit when they won is 84 tho... almost burned the city down.

XDa,

As a former St Louisan, consider the football cardinals our gift to you. Sorry that Bill Bidwell came attached.

A SPORTS LINK?!?
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Who?

Some other fun facts about my Tigers that should be noted:

They are the first team to go 0-6 in back-to-back seasons since the woeful NY Mets' first two seasons of existence.

The teams that have feasted on them thus far this year have a combined 0-6 record against everybody else.

As was noted in an earlier thread on the Motown Kittens, their starting pitching corps has a combined lifetime Major League victory total of 8.

The Tigers now have the distinction of eating the largest contract in baseball history. They gave Damion Easley $14 million in guaranteed contract money when they told him to go away, releasing him in spring training. Although Tampa Bay has since signed Easley to the league minimum salary (guess they haven't quite filled their quota of sucky players, unlike the Tig's), Detroit must still pay the remainder of Easley's guaranteed money.

Oh, it's bad. You have no idea how bad. Actually, I guess now you do.

red wings suck

Tigers, Bengals, Tigers, Bengals...

Pattern, anyone?

RoastBeef: I don't click on them.

I have evidence to the contrary. You clicked on this one.

Detroit was leading 2-1 against the white sox at the top of eight. Oh, then the sox scored 8 runs in the bottom of the eight. Go pistons!

Gee I'm in England so therefore,


I DON'T CARE.



ps. Just watched Bowling for Columbine. I will NEVER move back to the states.

Detroit is not only 0-6, but the teams they have lost to HAVEN'T WON ANY OTHER GAMES, except for their victories over Detroit. Ouch!

Impromptu poll:

Who's worse...

or

True the Tigers suck, but here we have the ultimate in suck



Whoo hooo almost 100 years since a world series win!!

why cant we talk about a good Team, like The Red Sox

roastbeef Forgive me for only wanting news about stuff that actually matters.

You come to fark to read only about news that actually matters? Um right, because headlines like "heres some pics to kill some kittens too" or "old man finally finds his butt" yea thats stuff that really matters. Relax fark was intended to be a "fun" page not an "informative" page. some people find sports fun, so deal with it.

RoastBeef:

Listen, dicksuck, just because your sorry-ass is too goofy to play and/or care about sports doesn't make you the authority on what should or should not be posted on Fark.

Sports are a form of entertainment. People tend to care about sports. Sports are cool. They're not scripted, crappy-ass corporate TV, they're unpredictable. Get it? Probably not...

Yes, the Cubs do suck, but ya gotta love their fans. Eternal optimism is almost admirable. The Red Sox are just plain chokers. They consistently have a good team, and yet they consistently choke when it matters. Two words: Bucky Dent. But the Tigers may set a new standard in suckitude this year.

and...the last survey we took said we liiiiked sports. Dicksuck. Hah.

Sports are cool. They're not scripted, crappy-ass corporate TV, they're unpredictable.

Unpredictable? Not always. I feel pretty safe predicting that the Tigers will continue to suck.

Brewerfanforlife: They said that three years ago. :-P

"We'll get 'em next season!"

LOL OK. Who's gunna win, Kansas or 'Cuse?

Sorry, Html confuses me.

Thousands of empty seats maybe...but chilling at Comerica, where you can buy 5 dollar upper deck tickets, move down to 3rd row in left field, put your feet up on the seats in front of you, and relax on a warm sunday evening off of work with a warm hotdog in one hand and a cold brew in the other...

well, that my friends, is the life

PS - i hate baseball

Hey, shut up about the Cubs...this is our year or somethin'...

I vote that the Tigers are actually worse than the Bengals...the Bengals seemed to make a stride towards decency by hiring Marvin Lewis...sorry, Detroit, no points for Tram...shiat, suit him up and give him a bat with the way things are looking.

It's amazing how the total suckage of the Tigers can start a flame war.

Like sports or not like sports when a 'pro' sports team has a worse record then the worst team in a seniors league then you know there needs to be a 'Running of the Bulls' Day. The team are the only ones who get to participate.

Where do you start?

Sad when you winning percentage is a good batting average!!!
TIGERS = R.I.P

Then again, the brain trust called MLB, had Detroit starting AT HOME in Detroit on March 31st against Minnosota....gee doesn't the Twins have a covered dome?? DOH!!!!

/closet (ex) Tiger Fan....

Quarlie, I clicked on the comments link to ask the above question. I did not click on the article link.

I think the Tigers are just holding back until later in the season. They're trying to hustle everybody, and catch everybody off-guard when they're not looking.

Yeah, that's it.

Haplo53, wow, that was clever.

Guess they should go back and call the ball park what it was being nicked named the first season:

Coma Park.....

Mark it down now: Oakland goes all the way this year. But then, of course, Miggy leaves :(

/Tigers suck

It is somewhat sad, though. This used to be a baseball town. No one's ever started a season 35-5 like the 84 Tigers did.

The Tigers have been bad for more than a decade - before that, however, they had the second highest winning percentage in the AL, behind the Yankees. How the mighty have fallen. :(

Actually, the line says 'The Tigers still don't have an at-bat in baseball's prime offensive situation: a runner on third with fewer than two out,' not that they haven't had a runner on third base.

Idiot headline writer. Get it straight! They suck bad enough that you don't have to make shiat up!

Tigers are the only team with some sort of soul left though...

So they've been to third base one more time then me this year.

(Did you see what I did? I juxtaposed the literal 'getting to third base' with the figurative 'third base'. It's funny because it's true)

Well actually the Tigers were the most winningest team in the 80's.

Restore the Roar from 84!

Tigers = 2003 World Series Champs.

Representin the 734.

:-p

fark all of you all.....How many times have you been on base in a major league game? That's what I thought.

I Don't Know is on third.

Idiot headline writer. Get it straight! They suck bad enough that you don't have to make shiat up!

The previous sentence to your quote:
That gave Shane Halter the only Tigers at-bat this season with a runner on third base.

The headline is correct.

So what. I've been in "games" countless times and I've never been to third, and only once to second! Hah! Beat that!

... please kill me

In other news, Giants remain only undefeated team in MLB, with five (count'em) homers against the Pads. And Bonds haters may also rejoice--none were from Barry.


Psst: The Royals are 5-0, and last I checked, that makes them undefeated.

have they decided when the next strike/lockout will be?

1) It's a weird sports scene in Detroit right now. The Pistons and Wings are likely to both go into the playoffs as the #2 seeds in their conferences, and when those seasons wrap up, we get...the Tigers, and then the Lions. Ugh.
2) What's with biatching about the 2 sq. inches of screen real estate a sports link takes up? Sounds to me like somebody's overclocking or on-line role-playing isn't going too well...
3) Go Blue in Buffalo this weekend!

Yeah they really sucks.
But not as bad Boston. I mean, sure they win a pennant or two, but then they choke in the series. They haven't won since 1918 for fark sake's.
They should be called the Bosucks...

Fine by me - three of those games were against the Sox.

DariusMDeV, two and a half.

Quick1:

and the Royals could go all the way to 8-0 or 9-0, since they have three games this week with the Tigers

RF

Yeah, they suck. That's a fact.

Six runs in six games is never, ever good.

Quick1, your wit is almost on the level of Haplo's.

Amosite, is TotalFark just every link that gets submitted?

Moonman9j9, I like playing sports just fine. It's spectating I don't like, watching a bunch or steroid pumped millionaires play with each other doesn't do it for me. I didn't say that sports shouldn't be posted on Fark, I'd just prefer not to see them.

Sports are a form of entertainment. People tend to care about sports. Sports are cool. They're not scripted, crappy-ass corporate TV, they're unpredictable. Get it? Probably not...

I guess I'm not as easily entertained as some people. And sports are often very predictable. Ask a bookie or professional bettor, or just look at the article this thread is for; do you think the Tigers are going to win the World Series?

While the vast majority of television is wasteland, there are several bright spots. But that's irrelevant.

You're right, though; I don't get it. I don't get why watching other people play a game is entertaining, especially when you could actually be playing yourself. I don't get why I'm supposed to prefer one team over the others simply because they happen to play closest to where I live. I don't get why I should care. Can you explain it to me?

You know, you guys don't have to be retards 24/7. You can give it a break once in a while and say, "Yeah, Beef, it would be sweet to customize Fark." That's one of the cool things about this "inter-net" doodad.

04-07-03 06:29:04 PM Brewerfanforlife
I love it when people don't understand MLBs position on contraction.

The TWINS don't make $$$$. The Expos don't make $$$$.

Do you know how many sports teams actually DO make money? The Yankees and their massive empire are the exception, not the rule. The fact is, you should not expect a sports franchise to run at a profit. They are not investments. They are toys for the very rich. Bill Wirtz (Blackhawks) said, "If you put a gun to my head, I wouldn't buy any team in the NHL, even my own." And he's a cheap bastard in the #3 market in the country.

Even the NFL and its revenue sharing do not guarantee profit.

Eraser8:

wage on the Tigers-Royals game- I think the Royals defense (giving up 2.4 runs a game [12 in 5 games]) will beat the Tigers offense (1 run a game).

the Royals will ream Bonderman tomorrow night.

RF

Beef,
Do everyone a favor and go join Total Fark. Then, surf the web until the wee hours of the morning submitting links to web pages that you would love to see here. Now, log into Total Fark, reread your newly submitted links, and Bingo! Your very own customized Fark!

I think you've spent quite enough time in a thread about a topic that you have no interest in.

Darius: I don't gotta be a fricking chicken to critique a fricking omelet.

Hear those tigers roar, baby. Rawr, baby. Rawr.

Well it's football, but it still seems appropriate

Eraser said 'is it really a wager to bet that the Tigers are going to lose?'

Hows this for a wager?

Royals score seven runs on Bonderman. Including home runs by Sweeney, Ken Harvey and another player

Final Score: Royals 11, Tigers 1.

RF

Yeah, Beef, it would be sweet if you would shut the fark up.

Syndre

/looking forward to wings / blues this year.

Let's just say, for a moment, that all 4 top seeds advance. That would mean the Red Wings would play the Avalanche, and the Blues would play Dallas in the second round. The chances of both the red wings and the Blues going to the WCF are slim to none.

When I was a kid the Tigers were awesome. They won the World Series in 84'. Sparky Anderson as manager, Allan Trammel, Lou Whitiker, Kurt Gibson. They were a great team.... then they went down hill. Really sad, but they have a nice new field. Comerica Park is really nice. I saw it when I went home to visit family. Too bad....one day Detroit will turn around and have a decent sports team again (excluding the Red Wings!).

umm try it again i guess??

Oh yeah, go Expos. Heh heh.

Kibo: Unless you're the real Kibo by some weird chance, I must ask you to cease and desist using his name.

And anyway, Q1, I did say Major League baseball.

Last I checked, the Royals were a farm team for the A's.

Yeah, but the A's are just a farm team for the Yankees. I bet now that Derek Jeter is hurt they'll just go ahead and get Miguel Tejada since Oakland already said they can't resign him.

I'm SO glad that near-strike fixed baseball's competitive balance problem.

Wow, close to the first week of the season. Must be nice hearing that kind of stuff so early in the season. Will take the pressure off to do well.

I read this and I'm still not sure if my above post should read 'well' or 'good'.

Need...new....links......dangerously close....to becoming.....productive!

anybody remember the login info for the fark fantasy baseball game? i set up a team a few weeks ago, then forgot about the whole thing... including which website it was...

delevation = not a fantasy sports devotee

we need a link that tells how the Packers are going to whoop all over the NFC North, breeze through the playoffs and wallup all over whatever 2nd rate AFC team shows up.

damn, I need football. I even watched NFL the otherday.

a 100+ posts abot the Tigers? Time for new links.

3) Go Blue in Buffalo this weekend!



You have no chance to survive, make your time.

REPEAT!

Halpas, I agree.

New Link! Please!


I'm dying here.

Only two links coming up in the queue for the next hour. Don't get your hopes up.

Damn...somebody beat me to the "I Don't Know" joke. :(

Er...uh...

"You liberals just don't get it!"

Meh...the Tigers suck anyway. Apparently, any pro sports team in the Big Four with a tiger-like logo is prone to sucking. The Detroit Tigers, the Cincinnati Bengals (that one's a given), the Nashville Predators....

Think about it.

Man, Illich needs to sell them quick. It'd put more money into the red wings and shake up the front office enough that we could avoid getting on leno or starting Fark flame wars.

MelissaX, don't be fatuous. And I'll thank you for not telling me how I should spend my time.

Hey, the Royals' magic number is 155!

Seriously, the White Sox will win the AL Central this year. You heard it here first--from the guy the said Marquette would suprise everybody (by going deep, not by getting spanked against Kansas).

At least they don't lead you on all season to fold in September...

/Red Sox fan

Can't believe no one's done this yet:



THEY'RE (not) GRRRRRREAT!

Ku_No_Ichi:

"When was the last time Cecil Fielder played for the Tigers?
What's he up to now?"

Probably having an eating contest with Rich Garces.

Sorry for the poorly-written transition, there.
I've been spending too much time in the Department of Redundancy Department.

No, thing is, Pohlao is a greedy bastard of a fair-weather fan. The guy's got BILLIONS of dollars to invest in the Twins, and yet he does nothing.
No matter, they had Ton Kelly and Terry Ryan to solve their problems without signing any pivotal free agents. Kudos to them.

The tigers have gotten to 3rd base once this season? Better than I'm doing...

Sounds like my sophmore year of highschool.
