Gotta say something nasty. Must be a Yankees or Oakland fan.

I'm a Yankees fan. And the fact that the Tigers wallopped Oakland proves it was no fluke that they beat NY. I wouldn't have wanted to lose to a lesser team.

Incidentally, he said something true about Detroit. You responded with a shot at the other teams.

Who's nasty?

It is NOT true about Detroit...THAT was the issue. Detroit hasn't "rioted" due to winning any of our major sports achievements in the last several years: Red Wings, Pistons, etc. Don't know what people are talking about.

What? That some people burned a car in Detroit 22 years ago? And that 6 Detroit teams have won titles since then without any car burning incidents, yet people are still generalizing because some idiots set one car on fire one generation ago?

I was there today. There was no riot. There was no burning. There was nothing bad going on at all, just people running around slapping hands and hugging. Generalizations about a city should be based on actual facts, not ancient memories.

We Detroiters take that for a compliment.
