And so it begins...

...the 2006 World Series.

The Tigers are rested and ready; the Cardinals just finished taking out the Mets in a prolonged series. Will the Tigers be rusty in Game One? Or will they pick up right where they left off?

My prediction? The Tigers in six.

GO TIGERS!

Sadly for some of my readers, it won't be a Mets-Tigers World Series. The Cardinals pulled it out in game seven in a classic fashion, winning the game 3-1. FOX isn't going to like an all-Midwest World Series. You could almost hear the disappointment that there wouldn't be a big market team like…
This is getting depressing. Last night, the Tigers lost a particularly heartbreaking game 5-4. It's heartbreaking because it's a game that they really should have won. Unfortunately errors and the two unearned runs that they allowed killed them. Now the 2006 World Series is at the same point that…
...Because the Tigers are actually going to the World Series! And they did it in fine style, too, with a come-from-behind victory in which Magglio Ordonez hit a three run homer with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning. I have to confess, I never quite believed they could get this far,…
Tom Verducci makes the case that the greated reversal in baseball history has just occurred with the Tigers making the World Series. Although they didn't have the worst record of any World Series team in the season before they reached the World Series (that "honor" belongs to the the 1991 Atlanta…

It looks like they are pretty rusty. Nothing else explains why the Cardinals have won game 1. It'll probably be the ONLY game they win. I wish the Mets would have made it. I've already seen enough of the Cards. And I'm a White Sox fan, not a Cubbie!

Yeah, I have to agree that the Tigers looked rusty and nervous. Their bats went cold, and they made some bad errors in the 6th inning that let the Cards blow the game wide open.

Here's hoping the jitters have settled down, or they could find themselves in a really bad situation after tonight.
