Before Game #1: “We’re gonna kill those Giants! It’s gonna be a four game sweeep!”
After Game #1: “OK, so we split out here, then take it back home and really sock it to ‘em. Tigers in five!”
After Game #2: “So, it’s gonna be that kind of series, eh? The home team wins all their games. We can do that. We just have to take one game out there when we get back to SF.”
After Game #3: “Good Lord in heaven, we’re gonna win one game at least, aren’t we?”
After Game #4: “Well that really sucked.”

Go get ‘em Tigers

Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. ~George F. Will
I’ll freely admit I wrote off the Tigers a few months back. They look out of sync, and couldn’t put together good pitching and good hitting at the same time.
But what do I know? They motored past the White Sox, grinded past the Athletics and swept aside the Yankees.
Bring on the Cardinals!!
