TIGERS!

Yes, dear readers, it's time once again for the World Series. And this one has the makings of being a classic. The Tigers look to win their first series since '84, while the Cardinals look for their first under Tony LaRussa. My prediction: all Tigers. They have a great combination of lights-out pitching and big bats. Although the Cards have a good rotation, I'm much less impressed offensively. When you factor Albert Pujols out of the equation, there's not a lot left. Not to mention that the Tigers swept the A's in the ALCS, while the Cards squeaked one past the Mets in 7 games. I know some people might not like the analogy, but the Tigers are coming into this series looking a lot like the Red Sox in '04. I pick Detroit in six.
