Crowds filled the seats, and who could not pass up Arby's curly fries after the Tigers scored three runs in one game?

Baseball Talking Heads Say 81 Or Bust
Hold on, kids. There's a lot of baseball yet to play. It has been a few years since we were in this position. Remember the pain we felt when the Red Wings just missed the playoffs by inches? It was heartbreaking.
Something is coming around if you can feel it. We just slammed the White Sox for the third straight. We won in Chicago and didn't even mind staying up past my bedtime for a late-night win over the Angels, leaving less than 30 games left in the 2024 season.
Tigers Reached 500 For The First Time Since 2016
Combined with a five game winning streak when I wrote this for all of you. The Detroit Tigers hit three homers in a five-batter span to break open a tie game and beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-2 on Tuesday night at Comerica Park.

There is a real possibility that the Tigers will get a Wild Card Birth. Why not start thinking about it? This city has been waiting on this for a while. There are no more talks of fire sales or another build-back year.
I'm amazed how the lack of confidence in the sports-talking bobbleheads shot this all down. Can we just be positive sometimes? It's not 1984, and we didn't go 35-5 to start. This team fights for every baseball, every home run, and more.
100% of our own destiny is up to the players against Tampa. We do play Boston as well, and we’re, I think, four back. I feel like if we play well enough to sniff the Royals, we’ll also be able to pass Seattle.
So Fans Dont Be A Debbie Downer
So it's not a Bless You Boys year. . . . yet. If we play our bases right, there may be a surprise in September.
We used to say, " Let's All Get Behind Our Baseball Team. Go Get Em Tigers!"
