Can The Tigers Steal The Wild Card Away From Boston?
We need to go on a 9 game winning streak. The Tigers can still make the wild card (via stealing it from boston); what do you think will happen?

The way the Sox are hurting these days, nothing would surprise me.
Georgie, Georgie.Grasping at straws are we??
I love you sweetie, but unless Boston starts playing some horrible ball, The Tigers will not have a chance at the WC.But sadly it is September, and anything can happen.
Like the fact that the Yankees are only down a game and a half, never thought I would see this day, so as I said anything can happen, but I doubt it.
Anything can happen,,you never know who’s gonna get hot,,and who’s gonna get cold,,Hell look at what’s happened to the METS!!!
OMG That would be poetic justice. Especially for certain loud mouthed Redsox fans. I would laugh my butt off. But really, is it gonna happen?, nah.
Sorry see ya next year Detroit.
If you guys win out the season and the Red Sox lose out the season, then yes. I hope it happens too, because my Indians have been playing pretty good against the Tigers this year and it would be nice if we played them in the playoffs.
Im liking the Indians picture buddy.
It would please me immensely if Red Sox would miss the playoffs altogether. Wouldn’t that be the funniest thing like EVER!?!?!?!?!
I was having a wet dream about that last night. I wonder what all these Red Sux fans would say then, if they miss the playoffs.
wait, did I miss something? Aren’t the Red Sox still 1 1/2 games ahead of the yankees? Now we are talking about them losing the wild card? Lets not get too ahead of ourselves
It’s not impossible. . .It’s also very possible they won’t be stealing it away from Boston. . . These last games count! Boston could win the division still, and they also could lose enough games that it won’t even be an issue of “stealing” anything away! It IS a long shot, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all really.
Would be funny if it happened but i doubt it.
Anything is possible, but I doubt it. Yankees win the Division and Sox take the wild card.
I like both teams but i think Boston will win the series. I hate them more than Detroit. They hate the Yankees, i hate them.
My guess is no…but if the Red Sox can’t win at least 3 of their last 9 games they don’t deserve to be in the playoffs….I still think the Sox will take the division by sweeping the the Rays and then taking care of business at home. Tigers fans should root for the Blue Jays right now because the Tigers are closer to the Yanks than they are to the Sox.
Probably not but it’s not impossible.
It is possible and would be HILARIOUS since Boston is setting up it’s pitching staff for the playoffs before clinching and talking to everyone about it. I would not stand in wet cement and wait for it to happen though.
If Boston cannot figure out how to win soon – that could happen
OK Georgie, as of this morning, the Sox still lead the division. So the Tigers wouldnt be stealing it from them yet. If it comes down to it, I sure hope the Sox can win at least 3 out of their last 9 games. If they can’t, then the Tigers will deserve the Wild Card. I still havent given up on the Red Sox and I just hope they can hold on to a playoff berth.
It’s time to start thinking about your game plan for next year GP.
In baseball – like life -anything is possible. But not probable. Georgie – it looks like it is over. They gave it a good run last weekend, but NY did not cooperate and lose. I am sorry man.
On a side note – I fully expect Cleveland to win the AL. I hope so anyway. This year has taught me that Yankee fans have 100 times more class than Boston fans (go to a game at US Cellular – Yankee fans were fun – Boston fans were idiots). I can’t believe I would say this – but If not the Indians – go Yankees.
Tigers are done for the year…bless you boys
I’m a RedSox fan… and right now the Sox can’t find a win… and were about to play Tampa Bay.. one of the worst teams but for some reason they normally beat us… I’m gonna say the tigers most likely won’t.. but it is September and that is never good for the sox… i still think the sox may win the pennant.. so take it from the Yankees
As of today 9/21/07:
Boston 90 – 63 = 153
Yankees 88 – 64 = 152
Tigers 83 – 70 = 153
Any combination of 3 Boston wins or 3 Tiger loses knocks you out. It’s possible but not likely. Personally I’d love to see it happen!!
I not an optimist. It’s possible. But not likely. Well, at least you did better than my White Sox!
Georgie,our Tigers are done my friend.It would take a MAJOR miracle for our beloved Boys to get it in-but?-who knows?-stranger things have happened in MLB!
