Paul: 5 ways Tigers flourish, 5 ways they fizzle

Detroit News predictions: Tigers season

Henning: Pitching, not Ausmus, will decide Tigers’ fate

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Sounds like today may get rained out.

[Floyd Robertson]

Nice touch.

[aualum06]

If Nick can handle the two hole it would help a lot. Haven't really had anyone that could hit there since Omar and Polanco

First one of the season! Here's your #OpeningDay lineup vs. the White Sox. #WhosYourTiger

[aualum06]

Omar to AAA. Machado is a solid defender but does little to excite anyone

[aualum06]

With the weather forecast why are they wasting time driving these guys around the field. Lol feels very awkward

1st opening day without my Dad. Kinda bittersweet.   He was a diehard Tigers  fan.    If you still can - call your Dad today.

[tGreenWay]

I see that the Sox are now playing in Guaranteed Rate Field, formerly Cellular One. What a stupid fucking name for a ballpark.

[aualum06]

And this music. Wtf

Baseball brings back father son memories, and it's tough. The last game I went to with my dad was game 5 of the '84 WS. I don't have kids to create lifetime memories with them, but I find it oddly comforting knowing the game will go on long after I'm gone, with other kids and their dads creating their own stories.

This sucks

[Floyd Robertson]

Season opener will have to wait 24 hrs.

[aualum06]

Of course a 2 start instead of 4. Going to miss it great.

[aualum06]

Chances they play tomorrow?

Chances they play tomorrow?

Weather radar shows more storms to the west, not sure how fast they're moving or if they can get it in between fronts.

Kyle Ryan going on paternity leave list tomorrow. He's available to pitch today. Blaine Hardy is in Chicago and will take his spot tomorrow.

The tigers are Charlie Brown free agent relievers are the football and the rest of the baseball universe is Lucy.

It's how I feel too

#Tigers lineup vs. the White Sox for #OpeningDay Pt. 2.

[aualum06]

Verlander's location awful in the first inning. Hopefully he settles in

[DWags]

Players who can help themselves get into the HOF this season:Verlander

Justin Verlander and Felix Hernandez: I think these two guys can help their cases more than any other players this season. They’re both above 50 career WAR and getting close to that gray area of viability, although Hall of Fame voters have certainly been tough on starting pitchers of late (see Mike Mussina and Curt Schilling). Unlike Mussina and Schilling, however, Verlander, 34, and Hernandez, 30, have each won a Cy Young Award and were recognized at some point as the best pitcher in the game. They’ve already been great; now they just need to be good.

That said, a few more good-to-great seasons are in order. Verlander’s comeback last season, when he led the American League in strikeouts and finished second in the Cy Young vote, was a huge positive sign that he has adapted to some loss in velocity and can still dominate. While Verlander sits at 173 career wins, Hernandez is at 154 -- thanks, Mariners offense! -- and coming off his worst season in a decade, so he’s trending down and needs to re-establish himself as somebody who isn’t going to flame out in his early 30s.

JaCoby bomb 3-1

JaCoby Jones is the first Tigers rookie to hit a home run on Opening Day since Kirk Gibson in 1980, according to @baseball_ref.

Big swinger.

Oh come on.....for all of his good points you know Kinsler's going to get picked off 5-7 times a year.

@JustinVerlander's 10 strikeouts are tied for the most by a #Tigers pitcher on #OpeningDay since 1913.

Jones was the first tiger to hit his first career home run on opening day since 1965

Justin Upton thinks knee injury 'not too severe'

JD and JUp both out would be bad news.
