Seriously starting to look like the Tigers will win. Pitching is an a tear...
St. Louis Cardinals say o.
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.
Healthy VMart and this thing wouldn't even be a discussion.
Holy
The Tigers are really gonna win the World Series this year
Too good, too deep, too confident
Yup Tigers all the way
Bats are REALLY coming alive right now. Peralta, Delmon and AJax are all in a zone right now.
I should become the MLB forum mod if it comes true.

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.
WS will probably go to a 7th and deciding game.
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.
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 them over with a late inning comeback. If Verlander is great, the Tigers will likely win. If Verlander sucks, the Tigers are ed.
There's no sucking in Verlander. It depends on whether the bullpen is as good as they were in the CS.
Is this a jinx thread?
Al Al, Dotel, and Coke have been solid. Leland claims Valverde hasn't lost his job, but he'd better not F around in the series trying to restore his confidence at the expense of a critical game.
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 les 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.
I made it before the Tigers even clinched the playoffs, genius.
Last year eludes you it seems.
Lol comparing beast Verlander and young VerlanderLast year eludes you it seems.
Are you seriously going to play that card?
at least I have a card to play withAre you seriously going to play that card?
He wasn't even that bad last year, but he sucked enough to lose.at least I have a card to play with
Oh and BTW I'm a Red Sox fan. rofl
Not a Knicks fan either. Spurs
Tiger fans are scared of the Cards. They are praying the Giants win in 7.
