OK, folks. This is the beginning.
I am an avid Tigers fan and this will be my first season watching nightly in HD. I bought a 50" Visio HDTV in late November after my wife and I moved into our new house. I love the TV, and love watching almost anything in HD. I think the HD difference is more evident with sporting events, but even normal programming is better.
I purchased tickets to 6 Tigers games this past Saturday morning at 10am when they went on sale. First game of the year I will be attending is April 13, 2009. Can't wait!
My lineup:
Granderson
Polanco
Mags
Cabrera
Guillen
Sheffield
Laird
Inge
Everett
PH: Thames
Rotation:
Verlander
Galarraga
Bonderman
Jackson
#5 starter is up in the air. Willis? Robertson? Porcello?
I think Porcello is a long shot, even though he pitched well the other day. I'll bet he starts the year in AAA or AA. If anybody falters, he'll be with the team before the weather breaks.
The season hinges on the rotation and the bullpen. If Zumaya is healthy and effective, it will make a huge difference. Also, if the closer role is in good hands with Lyon. These are the big question marks. #5 starter is important, but the rotation and the pen will make the difference. The offense will score tons of runs and the defense will be solid.
27 days until the opener in Toronto. 31 days until the home opener!

About Me
- Chelsea Chris
- I grew up in Ann Arbor, MI and have been a Tigers fan my whole life. I remember listening to Ernie Harwell as a young boy with the Bird pitching. My fist game was in the mid to late 1970's and Rusty Staub hit a HR in the 10th inning. It was a walk-off HR before the term "walk-off" even existed. On the day of the 5th game of the World Series in 1984, I was 17 and was supposed to work at Wendy's. It was the only day I have ever blown off work. When Gibby hit his second HR (the famous one), it was a great feeling to know my team was the best...was world champions. In 2006, I attended game 3 versus the Yankees when Kenny Rogers shutdown the hated Yanks. I was supposed to go to game 3 versus the Athletics, but had to work. So, the next day, a friend of mine and I went up to the stadium for game 4 without tickets. We found some for around $120 each and got to see the most amazing sporting event of my life!
