Running World Series thread

Joe, I think we all overestimated the power of Anna Benson.

You were right on the mark. Pujols (if he hasn't already) cements his spot in Cooperstown if he wills this crappy 83-win team to a Series title.

If it even marginally matches up to the last two Tigers-Cards series, then I'll be delighted. Always love a classic.

 

For a running thread, this WS won't feature much running. Tigers stole just 60 bases all year, Cardinals 59. Carlos Guillen w/20 and So Taguchi w/11 are the only double-digit guys.

Only five teams stole less bases than either of these two.

 

The Tigers have a low on-base percentage offense built around hitting lots of home runs. Those kinds of teams are streaky. Maybe the Tigers ride this hot streak all the way to the title. Or maybe they go cold.

 

I could see this being a great Series. You can't go wrong with La Russa and Leyland in the dugout. Love the Cardinals, have all my life, but Tigers in 6.

 

Cardinals in 7

 

jag, again, with the truth.

 

To me... one of the best things about this series is that the uniforms for the games in Detroit will be virtually identical to the unis in that photo.

 

MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been wrong about everything except the ONE THING THAT'S IMPORTANT!!!! So I'm sure I'll be wrong when saying Tigers in 7.

 

Yee-Haw! Suck it AL Central defenders!

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe the AL East or West are anywhere to be seen in this World Series.

 

You are not wrong at all, but as an AL East fan it is OK for me to root against the Tigers, correct?

 

Sure. After all, the rest of America hates your team.
