I believed they were a better team.
I had hopes they would make the playoffs.
But back in May, if you had told me The Tigers would beat the yankees in post season, and be 2 games away form being American League Champions, I would have laughed at you and asked what the heck are you smoking!
I love your avatar! Very CLASSIC!

Michigan native here. Lived in San Jose, CA since '77. Became a S.F. Giants fan over the course, but I never leave the A.L. "Motor City Madmen Tigers" out in the cold. I was age 14 when they took the World Series in '68, and just from memory can still name every player/position from that winning team! Tigers in '06 baby!! Could be a repeat performance against the Cards just like in '68. ***My son & I were at the 5/28/06 Giants/Rockies game when Bonds hit #715...yeehaw!!

after they were swept by the lowly royals at the end of the season, i would never have believed that they would take the yankees 3-1....but you have to admit they were hot to start the season and they did win 95 games so they have the capacity to whip it up against any team.

I knew their pitching was top notch and they'd do better this year.. that they'd have a winning season after watching them the first 3 months, and going to 12 games this summer... I believed they'd make it to the playoffs.. but to destroy the Yankee's line up in 3 straight games, I had doubts... everyone did.. i'm glad they proved me wrong!! GO TIGERS!!!

Sure was a believer. Just ask Georgie Porgie. I picked Tigers
to march right over the A's...left right left right. Today Kenny
Rogers is going to piss off Milton Bradley and pitch a great game.

I'm a Yankee fan and I give the Tigers all the credit, they deserve it. Now go win the World Series.

If the A's get eliminated, it's their own fault for starting Loaiza in game 2...that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me when you have Haren and Hardin...I'm not very high on Zito, but you kind of have to start him in game 1

By the All-Star game, I figured they were no fluke.
Were I a betting man, my money would be on the Tigers.
