Cards a nice story, but will be overmatched by Tigers

Understandably, there is talk of a miracle in St. Louis now. But there is talk of destiny in Detroit, too. And no one should blame them for that. The Tigers’ regular season was fabulous, their postseason even better. Their path has started to resemble that of the 2005 White Sox.

There isn’t any reason to think the AL is ready to abdicate. The NL entry hasn’t won a World Series game since 2003, and there isn’t any compelling reason to think they will win four games this time. My cardinal rule when the leagues are in a period where one’s dominating the other: stick with the superior league.

As for the teams, this looks like a mismatch. The Tigers have the best starting rotation in baseball, and it isn’t even close. They have two lights-out relief pitchers, and neither one of them is even their closer. Plus, they have power threats from the top to the very bottom of the lineup. The last three hitters in the Tigers lineup all hit at least 25 home runs. Top to bottom, they can overpower anyone.

Wow, first time to the series in forever and Tiger fans are sure as hell overconfident.

Shit, lets just engrave the trophy and get it over with.

Nothing sweeter than knocking the king off of his self-proclaimed mountain.

Hey my friend, I didnt write this, a Sports Illustrated writer did. I just posted it.

Im not upset. Thats just the way I talk. Too aggressive at times I guess. I can tell you are a true, courteous, Tiger fan. Trash talk is all part of the fun for me.
