    People keep bringing up the AL Central being weak to explain what the Tigers have been doing. But, when you look at the other numbers, it shows that's not the case. The Tigers have a really good record against all teams over .500, a winning record against the AL East, a winning record against the Yankees, the Rangers, and the Rays. Et cetera. I saw this info and all the specific numbers in an article last week, I think. But hell if I can remember them.
    All those numbers don't mean anything once the postseason starts.

    Their winning pct. vs. the AL Central is about .690. Vs. everyone else it's .500.

    And Chris is right, of course.

    "Rookie of the Year" "Closer" Craig Kimbrell blew his 7th save of the year last night in devastating fashion. He's 4 away from Brad Lidge's 11 in 2009, what might be considered the worst year for a closer ever.

    The Tigers have a couple issues going into the post season...

    They are not the best at fundamentals of baseballs, they were commiting a lot of errors and don't move runners along as well as you should for a championship team. Now maybe they corrected this in the last couple months or so.

    There 3rd and 4th starters are inconsistent...thats why I think in the opening round whether they have home field or not they have to start Verlander and Fister in 1 and 2...need to get a 2-0 and if it comes to game 5 you got Verlander.

    06 WS they absolutely fell apart...Polanco (best hitter on the team) was "0 for"...and our pitchers could only throw to home...anywhere else seemed to be a problem.

    Thats why I'm not a big fan of Jim Leyland...these issues have been around long enough...he's had plenty of time to fix them.

    Yes they did...I guess there is talk of starting sherzer in game 2 if they get home field...I think they have to go with Verlander and Fister 1 and 2 to try to get a 2-0 lead and then Porcello in game 3.

    After the 2006 season every baseball fan in Philly was saying "I told you so" about the Phils hiring Charlie instead of Jim Leyland.

    if timmy didn't match up against kershaw so many times, maybe HE wins the cy :?

    I guess you LA fuckers will have one bright spot :x . kemp, too?

    edit: from the SF Chronicle

    If Clayton Kershaw wins the Cy Young Award, he might ask the trophy manufacturers to add an engraving of his foot standing on a Giant's throat.
