Conquer Club

well do you

What do you think I chose?

And how 'bout Verlander's no hitter yesterday?

Verlander was awesome yesterday, that was out of the ordinary. The Tigers are also the team with the highest run total in the majors. I think, barring some disaster, they will make it to postseason no swea. A world series ring though? perhaps, its debatable.

oya he was graet and the cool thing obout it he was throwing 102mph in the last out

i allso think we should get a new closing pitcher jones plows it way to meny times




P.S. gary s. is a big jurk

their numbers are dwindling, but i have faith in efforts in india to stop the poachers in the wildlife sanctuaries there. Stop buying tiger products - tiger balm, for example. You are fuelling an evil trade.

tts ridiculis the tigrs OWN! they wil definetly make it 2 the world series! with maglio ordonez they wil definetly make it !

I have to agree with Heavycola with this one.

i also agree with hevycola but should climate change happen their chanses will be greatly lowerd as their habitat is destroyed

my dad says last year was a fluke but i say thats crap










GO TIGERS

Hell yeah i do.. Go shefield.

INDIANS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!

yaright

No, they're already too close to extinction and their natural habitat is shrinking rapidly, within 30 years they will have died out. With a lot of luck there might be some living in zoos.

I think they will make it.

Both of them.

Well, unless either me and my army of Pikachu's or the Evil Sunflora Nazis kill them.

Will people stop taking the piss, and stick to the original point of the thread?

Personally, while I'm not in favour of preserving tigers in captivity, partly because it leads to complacency on the part of those who are supposed to have the responsibility of preserving wild tiger numbers - such as governments - I feel that keeping a number in captivity is only a sensible safeguard against catastrophe.

ya thats the same with red wing thows guys are getting too old and will suck u 10 years

world series? im not sure they have to compete with the Indians, Red Sox, Angels and possibly the Yanks (boo). they will have trouble making the playoffs.

r u ciding they will most defenitly make the playoffs

The Indians will win th edivision and the Jankees will get the wildcard. No playoffs for Detroit.

Good point, very good point. But then, you can't entirily trust governments.

I agree that preserving them only in captivity and letting them be killed off in the wilderness is no solution at all, however, I think there is a sufficiently large group of people that is prepared to, and indeed already does, speak up for the preservation of natural habitats where tigers can continue to live and evolve in a way not overly influenced by humans, to prevent governments from growing complacent. Even though these groups might not be located in the same countries as the tigers, they can pressurise their own governments to protest against unethical treatment of tigers and they can raise awareness and even try to convince others to boycott products from this country. Economical warfare has ever been the most efficient kind, and when coming from the basis of society it's most effective, though "warfare" might be too strong a word in this context.

Even so, it might be just enough action too late. And it is hard to convince a farmer that tigers are entitled to more protection than his cattle, say, so any long-term solution must also address the fears and worries of the local populations. If they keep killing tigers to protect their economic interests, their own survival even, I fear that all efforts might be in vain. Tigers roam vast areas and seldom meet, and every dead tiger decreases the chance of a meeting and maybe mating more than a dead lion (to stay within the area of feline animals) does.

go tigers

It just wouldn't work the same way if we were to make fun of Manchester United or some such team, would it now!
