Ya Think The Tigers can still make the play-offs?

Question

There's not too much time left. I believe they can, but they need to hurry up and put a nice 10 game winning streak together.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Answer 1

There's a chance dude.  I'll root for them and the Mets for the world series

Answer 2

There will never be another playoff game in the "house that Ruth built."

The new stadium will have a playoff series one of these years.

Answer 3

They have an outside shot, problem is there are two teams ahead of them in the Central (Twins White Sox), then the Sox, Rays, Yankees and Angels.     Angels are way up in the West, so that only leaves 3 spots... East, Central and Wild Card.

Answer 4

Being the objective fan that I am, you do realize that I picked your Tigers to win the AL Central before the season started.  After the slower that slow start I began to think, "What was I thinking"?  However, I still think they are the best overall team in the division.  Therefore I am sticking with my original pick.  The Tigers will win the division.

Answer 5

First if you want that to happen,you better pray that Carlos Quentin needs some kinda injury that will keep him out for the rest of the season.He has been carrying the White Sox to so many victories this season,and has been on his top game and has been so consistent ever since day 1.

It's just not him though.The whole team is doing well altogether.

Same with the Twins.I give them credit for what they've been able to do this season.I thought their pitching was going to be so poor since Johan Santana got traded to New York,but I guess they didn't need him to be where they are now.

Answer 6

I do, but they really need to keep their bats swinging, and hold their starting pitchers together.  They have looked really good lately ...gives me hope !

Answer 7

TIGERS FAN HERE!!!! h**l yes they can.......they have the biggest series of the season coming up make or break against the whitesox...i will be in the crowd and pulling for them.....TIGERS 4 LIFE

Answer 8

maybe

Answer 9

They Are still my Pick to win the World Series, they still have a stellar lineup

They will make a huge push in the second half

Tigers Win the World Series - "Im a Man of My Word" - The Joker

Answer 10

I think they are done. Maybe next year.

Answer 11

There's no way the Tigers rattle off anywhere near close to 10 straight this season.

I like the team going forward though. They'll compete next year.

Answer 12

I'm a White Sox fan, but sure they can

this is baseball and 5 games isn't too much, but no one will give the Tigers anything not the White Sox or the Twins

the Tigers have such an explosive offense that anything is possiable, but they will need a couple 10 game winning streaks

Answer 13

its a long season and one 10 game win streak can change it all but unless that bullpen gets straighten out and theryre starters become consistant then no cuz u cant bash ur way too the post season

Answer 14

I believe they can the white sox are beginning to slip a bit and the tigers have the highest salary cap in the majors. The talent they have on the team has not been revealed yet but i see them as a silent contender for the al central or wild card. the tigers will make the playoffs.

Answer 15

no !! ...the white sox are gonna win it

Answer 16

Well, if they sweep the White Sox they will have a seven game streak and move up 3 games in the AL Central.  My answer is yes.

Answer 17

Nah, the Indians are going to beat them to it. The Indians are hot, they're going to go on a nice 20 game winning streak. Well, maybe I'm too optimistic.

Answer 18

If you dream hard enough, all your dreams will come true!

So I recommend going to bed and get dreaming because the White Sox have got it in their hands!

The sweep (the one that's going to happen soon; when the White Sox come to Detroit to break some hearts) will keep them down for a while.

Answer 19

these are the teams thy have to get over

DIVISION- twins, WSox

Wildcard- Rays, Yankees,Rangers, Red Sox, A's

sorry its to much

Answer 20

There are 60 games left and they are what 5.5 games out. There is plenty of time left to gain 6 games. How many games out where the Phillies last year with 3 weeks left in the season? What were they 7 games out with 17 games to play or something like that. Its possible. The way they have been playing the last 40 games it is very possible.

Answer 21

I don't see why not.  Their hitting is picking up at the right time, and their players are finally healthy.  Look at the teams of the AL Central - every one of them has gone on some sort of win streak this year.  The Twins recently had a good month, the White Sox started out strong, and heck, even KC did okay for a while early on.  The AL Central has been a pretty tight division these past couple years. If Detroit's pitching can keep it up down the stretch, they definitely "can" make the playoffs. I don't think they "will" make it, though, because their rotation isn't as solid as other teams', and their bullpen isn't as good, either.

Answer 22

Sure.  5.5 games is nothing.

Answer 23

well, losing two out of three to the chicago smelly sox didnt help their cause much. neither did losing to the dismal yahoos tonight.  they are not a long way out, but considering that they are having a tough time beating teams that are over .500,  have a crappy record in the division, and the benching of todd jones, the sore arm of joel zumaya(right tricep), and freddie dolsi's tired arm, i am beginning to think maybe this is not the year.  but that being said, i hope that i am very much wrong. i know this probably isnt what you want to hear, but it is my gut feeling on the 08 tigers after this weekend. who knows maybe dd can find a season savior by the trade deadline.

Answer 24

Sure do if they keep playing the way they have been!!!

Answer 25

Yeah I think they can make The Playoffs.

Answer 26

They are only 5.5 games back of the White Sox, who are not that dominant of a team to begin with.  If the Tigers can take 2 out of 3 this weekend from the White Sox, then it could be a very interesting couple of months. As of now, I say they just miss the playoffs, but I can also see them getting in by a game or two.

Answer 27

Why not its Baseball anything can happen

Answer 28

Of course, simply put, anything can happen, there's still 60 games....the Tigers are a force, they just haven't been playing up to their potential. You're right, they could easily go on a 10 game winning streak with the team that they have and be right in it.
