Alright, so I've been considering this for awhile now, and especially after the legendary battle of Game 163 last year, I want to determine once and for all: Are the Detroit Tigers a truly HATED rival, or just a divisional adversary we find ourselves in a tight race with year after year? 

I guess it's fairly subjective, but some of the criteria to consider would be public comments and smack talk, on-field scuffles, mutual hatred between the fan bases, intense head-to-head match-ups, and any sort of rivalry between the cities. The White Sox obviously fit all these requirements. So...do the Tigers?

Discuss.
