My world series Prediction is that the Tigers will play the Cardinals.
I'd like to see the Tigers vs. the Diamondbacks. We'd get to square off against our old buddy, Kirk Gibson.

Regrettably you're probably right. I just can't see how anyone can bet the Phillies!

The Yankees are doomed now. It'll be Tigers in four, just like in 2006.
Meant to ask you about Doug Fister.
Thought he was invincible???

I would not match Sabbathia against Verlander. I would throw Sabbathia in game four and then Nova in game 5 and
send the Tigers home in style....losers in a 5 game series. Let's see how it works out Joe's way.

Originally posted by shortcircuitI tend to agree with you about matching up to win games 4 and 5, but managers never want to tell their guy (Sabathia) that he's not as good as someone else's guy (Verlander) even if he obviously is not.
