Tigers vs Cards
Can't wait. Finally a rematch of a great World Series in 1968.
I was but a wee lad in '68, growing up a 10 minute bus ride from Tiger Stadium. Here's what I remember. McLain... 31 game winner Gibson ... 22 game winner with 13 (13!!) complete game shutoutsand an ERA of 1.1. Tigers ... start CF Mickey Stanley at shortstop, getting more offense and bench weak-hit/great field SS Ray Oyler. Game 1... Gibson strikes out 17. Game 4... Gibson rolls again, CG struck out 10 or 11. SL leads Series 3-1. Game 5... Lou Brock forgets to slide.... out at home, barely. SL now 3-2. Game 6... After losing game 1 and after getting absolutely crushed in game 4 and not making it through the 3rd inning, McLain comes back on 2 DAYS REST, pitching a complete game. Series 3-3. Game 7 ... In St. Louis, Lolich comes back on 2 DAYS rest and dominates, pitching a 5 (or 6) hit CG to win his 3rd start of the series. Tigers finally got to Gibson sfter two outs in the 7th. Tigers win! Anything anywhere close to this will be good enough for me.

Tigers in 5 - regardless what Mike says. Detroit is the best team this year. I know! I know! A Wildcard team!
I was actually hoping the Mets will be there, so I can see Glavine pitch at Comamerica and NOT get that 6 inches to a foot off the plate strike call that he always seem to get. He's not good w/o it. Just don't touch Wainwright when he's in there.

Game 1: Bob Seger will sing "America the Beautiful." Al Kaline and Willie Horton will throw out the first pitch.
Game 2: Anita Baker will sing the National Anthem

I'm rooting for the Cradinals to win just to say I told you so.
Since the advent of the misguided playoff system in the 90's, the best team rarely wins. 5th best team in their own league is 3 wins away from being world champs, lol. What a joke.
