World Series Bound And Picking Up Steam

Congratulations to American League champs the Detroit Tigers!

For a team I didn't think would even make the playoffs, they disposed of the Yankees--probably the best team in the AL--without much fuss. It wasn't just four straight wins--the Yankees were never even in the lead.  New York scored only two runs in the last three game, and the finale was an 8-1 blowout.  Okay, the Yanks weren't at full strength, but they had plenty of depth and should have at least made the series close.

So it's on to the World Series.  If the Tigers keep this up I think they can take on anyone.  They'll either face the Giants--2010 champs--or the Cardinals--2011 champs.  I hope it's the Giants.  They're probably the better team, but there's a long history of playing the Cardinals and it'd be nice to try something new.
