I gotta believe because hope is all that we Tigers fans have.
Hopefully Jim Leyland goes over the Tom Emansky Defensive Drills video with Verlander and the rest of the bully today.
Even if the Tigers can't pull it off, thanks to the Tigers for finally giving us a summer of baseball and congrats to the Cards on getting the clutch hits.
I hate it when people say the better team didn't win and if the Cardinals win the WS, they will have proven they are the better team. I just don't believe it will be happening.

The better team ALWAYS wins in the playoffs. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS!!!!
The same people that do not think the better team ALWAYS wins probably believe the Lakers were the better TEAM in '04 when they lost to the Pistons, or that the Rams in SB XXXVI were better then the Patriots.
THE BETTER TEAM ALWAYS WINS!!!!!!
Now, the team with better TALENT may lose in the playoffs, but better talent does not make a group of players the better TEAM.
If that were the case, the NYY would win about 130 games every year followed by Boston then the White Sox.
I am so utterly fed up with people not understanding that a team is not made up of only individual talent, but how that talent works together.
Do you think a team with 25 players that are like Barry Bonds or T.O. would succeed? NO. They may have more talent, but they would lack character and chemistry

the better TEAM always wins. AGAIN, let me restate my points since you seemingly don't understand reasoning!!!!!!
Being a TEAM is not about having the most talent. It is preparation, chemistry, positive roll, negative role, talent, injuries, home field advantage, midst of a road trip, believing hype, underdog status, and a number of other things that place in to which team will win.
You proved your own point by basically stating "Any Given Sunday." Any given Sunday, a team with lesser talent can beat a team with better talent because the team with lesser talent comes out more prepared, hungrier for a win then the team with the lesser talent. It is an upset because the team with the better talent should be better, but it doesnt guarantee they will.
Why are so few unable to differentiate the two?
By your standards, Indy should have rolled through the playoffs the last 3 years, but they were not the better team because they weren't as prepared as the team that beat them!

Fat chance sucka! We got this locked up tonight!
But seriously, both teams have truly made this a great series. Last nights game was intense! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Seeing the Tigers and Cards has made Baseball worth watching again. I'm sick of seeing the same teams over and over again. I loved seeing the Tigers do well this season and wish them luck tonight. No rain! GO CARDS!

The Yankees will simply begin a brand new successful streak now. They were notable due to the fact that the All Star Break. They are a far greater group after the moment part of the season. They have skills to win the arena sequence if they may be able to always rating runs and play well security. They need to play their quality towards the Red Sux on the grounds that the final eight occasions they obtained powerhoused. The Yankees seem like a brand new group despite the fact that. Good Luck

No they wont, and the so-called better team doesn't always Win.If that was true then every favored team would win. Look at the NFL every week there are upsets, that's what makes the game so interesting,(any pro sport) is that on any day any team can beat any other team.
That being said I do agree with you about the Tigers they have had a great season,and will be back for more,but it will have to be next year

The tigers have no chance of winning three straight, the cardinals are hot and have basically everything on there side, including the fact that they are on a role. And even if they win 1 or 2, they rn't winning the 3rd. It seems to me that, quite like the Yankees, the tigers fell apart
And the comment about the better team losing= That's pretty much what has happened this postseason: 1:Mets losing to Cards, 2:Yankees losing to tigers (who thought that that would happen?) 3:Twins losing to the A's 4:Padres losing to Cards....
Every one of these cases shows the better team losing...

I can only hope.
On TV they said that every other time these teams played each other in the world series the team that won the 4th game went on to loose the series.
I am praying hard that this trend will continue this year.

Believe... of course, but it will be a great comeback for the baseball Gods. They just need to stiffen up their D and quit committing the extremely costly errors. Something that youth and inexperience can attest to... mistakes!
If they can rid themselves of the errors (especially when runs score) and keep the sticks goin' I think that it is definitely possible.
Anything can happen, right!

I think it could happen.
I'll be rooting for The Tigers 100%.
But if they lose, at least it will be to a team that deserves it.
(unlike the ny muts).

I agree. Win or lose, we couldn't have asked for a more amazing season. Baseball is finally back in the Motor City, and that's a marvel in itself.
BTW, the Cardinals will do what they do best and choke. Tigers in 7;-)

Boo tigers.....Go Cards.....Boo Tigers.....Go Cards
I wish them both luck but 60% of that luck goes to the Cardinals and 30% of that luck goes to the Tigers....the 10% that is left is my margin of error.
