MCP, if you had to win your last game of the season to make the playoffs, who do you want starting...Beckett, Shilling, Rogers, Verlander, Robinson or Bonderman....?

(ans. is Beckett or Schilling)

BWAAAAAAAAA!

This is the same bunch of guys that last 100+ games a year ago and now you call them 'the team to beat'?

Wrong info...2 yrs ago...but the point is you can't expect this team to go from perennial losers to the team to beat in 1-2 seasons. Let them win a division or a playoff series first before you have these lofty expectations.

That would be 3 years ago 3Jack but really who cares.

I would pick Schilling or Beckett based on the fact that they have done it before........of the bunch I think Bonderman is the best pitcher with the most potential of anyone on that list including Verlander.

IF he doesnt become a flash in a pan he will be the next Rivera without a doubt.. Damn that makes me sick to type this but its the truth

Extremely premature to compare a rookie with the greatest reliever EVER.

BWAAAAAAAAA!

MCP, you are drinking way too much Tiger Koolaid! Tigers are a very nice team and obviously one of the best in baseball right now, but the team to beat? This is the same bunch of guys that last 100+ games a year ago and now you call them 'the team to beat'? Can they make the playoffs first and pop their cherry before you call them the king of the mountain? Give me a break! 'Schilling is hittable'? His numbers are as good if not better than each of the top 3 starters for Detroit...so are they all hittable? 'Beckett looks worse and worse'? His ERA has come down a half a run in the last month! And who do you want pitching in a big playoff game or a big game in September? Kenny Rogers or Beckett? You want a guy that has proven he cannot pitch under pressure or do you want a guy that was an World Series MVP? And as for your JOURNEYMAN closer...you want us to believe he will close games when it matters but yet Schilling his hittable and Beckett is getting worse...c'mon MCP...put the koolaid down! That is rather comical!

And on a seperate note that means nothing in the win column...still waiting for their fans to support their team! 16th in attendance and avg 32,000 for their last 3 game series...could they sell out a playoff game?

3J, you've made some great points. I can't argue with you at all. IMO what happens is long suffering fans get caught up in their teams success they lose touch with reality. Rogers will be good down the stretch then he'll fold in the playoffs.
