Ok, let's talk about the World Series

Who's going to win? Why?
I think the Tigers will trounce the Cardinals with superior hitting and pitching. I haven't seen the pitching roster yet, but hopefully Kenny Rogers is pitching at home (he's been thriving there).
Tigers in 4.

I just don't really think it even made a difference who won the NLC. The NL is weak this year. Last night's game was good baseball, though. |

Probably true, but I think the Mets could have at least given the Tigers a bit of a challenge, maybe taken them to a game 6 or 7. Last night's game was good, but I hated the way it ended. I can't believe with bases loaded, 2 outs and 2 strikes they struck him out looking. Very sad way to go out, IMO. |

Yeah, it was very anticlimactic. If Beltran had struck out swinging, then at least it would have been a failed try. As it stands, he just looked like a deer in headlights.

It's Detroit's year. Though I fear for the city if they win.
Tigers in six, and a couple of city blocks of Detroit store fronts smashed, looted and burned.

I just got home and turned this on. Looks like this might be an exciting series.  |

What an ugly game for Detroit. It seems the time off made them rusty both defensively and with the bats.   Hopefully they take Game 2 and head into St. Louis with a tied series.  |

Ok, Rogers was on fire last night (the man has now pitched 23 innings in the playoffs without giving up a run), and in general the Tigers looked to be their old (new) selves.
Clearly the Cards are tougher than I anticipated, though.

Yeah, but he's got smudgey stuff on his hand(I'm being sarcastic). I really dislike Tony LaRussa. He comes up with crap like this every time the Cards don't win. |
