Tigers are winning the World Series. Deal With It.

[irishock]

A healthy Verlander, Fister, Max and Sanchez rotation with the MVP and King Fielder after him, no team wants to see the Tigers in the postseason. Cruz won't bat .750 in a 7 game ALCS again.

[symple19]

No they aren't

[irishock]

lol losing to the vikings

[Heath Ledger]

1. Verlander is not the same Verlander he was last year.
2. Scherzer is not 100 percent right now, he's lost some velocity on his fastball
3. Cabrera's sphincter is tightening up right now as he deals with the pressure of trying to get the triple crown.
4. Papa Grande,,,, do i have to say anything?

I love the Tigers however aside from Cabrera who is struggling right now and Fielder, other Tigers bats are not really hot right now down the stretch like they were last year. Especially Young and Avilla.
Good news is Cabrera is still Cabrera and can go back into beast mode at any time.

1. BS, Verlander's been dealing with some injuries throughout the season, that's it.
2. Tigers will clinch before Wednesday and he'll get that final game off to heal
3. Cabrera will light it up when it matters the most
4. The only problem imo; the bullpen.

Thanks for dropping in after the Yanks have it wrapped up

[irishock]

1 win from sweeping the Yanks and facing either the Cards or the Giants. Both bats won't come alive against our starting pitching, but the Cards have a weaker pitching staff, so I'd hope for an 06 rematch.

This is a MUCH better Tigers team than 2006. They didn't have Cabrera OR Fielder, and StL had Pujols at the time.
Also, replace rookie Verlander with monster Verlander.

I would have agreed with you, actually thought the east had a free ride just a few days ago but watching the Cards play has changed my mind a little.

With 6 days off it's possible Verlander will start games 1, 4 and 7. No way the Cards win if it goes full 7.

:lol Cards are a proven championship team. While my MLB team predictions for my own team have failed (Ryan Howard, raped with injuries for most of the 2012 season), I have been dead on in the World Series. Go ahead and check last years game thread, when the Rangers were 1 strike away. I said they would fail. The same applies to the Tigers. They are going to fail to the Cards who are in the midst of a dynasty.

Tigers better play their best and not the lucky ass Cardinals fuck them over with a late inning comeback. If Verlander is great, the Tigers will likely win. If Verlander sucks, the Tigers are fucked.

There's no sucking in Verlander. It depends on whether the bullpen is as good as they were in the CS.

If the Cardinals make the World Series -- or win it, for that matter -- they're going to be a hard team to define historically. Since MLB added even a single Wild Card team in 1995, only 3 teams have appeared in consecutive World Series -- the 1995-96 Braves, the 1998-2001 Yankees, and the 2008-09 Phillies. None of those teams, in any of those years, qualified for the playoffs as a wild card. Thus, no team in MLB history has ever made consecutive World Series appearances without being a regular season division (or league, pre-1968) champion. It goes without saying that no team with consecutive titles has ever done that. Thus, if the Cardinals pull off a repeat as NL champion (or World Series champion), they'll be the only team to ever repeat without a division crown to show for it.

Not too many years ago, that means that these Cardinals wouldn't have even qualified for the playoffs in either year. For that matter, without the second wild card this year, they would have been fishing two weeks ago. The system is what it is, and the Cardinals have undoubtedly played their best when it mattered most. But the historian in me thinks that even if they manage to repeat, they have to be viewed as one of the weakest repeat champions (still not bad company to be in) and more of an historical anomaly than a dynastic team of greatness.

Gotta say, the Tigers definitely look unbeatable. Just got done saying in another thread how I think the Cards match up better than the Giants, especially offensively. IF the Giants can get it done, the only real advantage I see is their bullpen. If teams can somehow get to the Tigers pen, then they definitely have a shot. But, you can pretty much pencil in two wins when alien V goes out to the mound... Tough
