BREAKING NEWS:

For the 16,696th consecutive game the Tigers starting pitcher is unable to pitch a perfect game.

Like the old saying goes, 16,697th time is a charm!

Wait. I swear JV did it earlier this year...

No problem. Complete games are pretty amazing nowadays but still way behind perfectos.

Might be a long time before we see them


CG and Perfect Games for Tigers

Complete Games shouldn't be so!


But Leyland won't allow it!


Because he sucks

You should go to Tiger Fest and ask him why no CG, GS!

I need to go to Tigerfest


I missed it this year

I need to go too! It's gotta be better than Fandemonium! Where do you park? ford field?

Maybe I can go to Tigerfest!!!

That wont work...

Why won't that work?

I was at the mall shopping. And my sister went up to some random guy in a Maggs jersey and asked him who won the game today (because i kept bugging her about how i was missing it). He had no idea. So we went into one of the sports stores where they sell all kinds of tigers stuff, and asked the guy in there. He told us tigers won and I got all happy

Yep, Tigers on their first of many!

GO TIGERS!!!
