Hey OldCPer, that's a nice story. :) Though I've never been much of a pro baseball fan, I grew up in Cleveland and sometimes I followed the Indians. Well I'm rooting for a Tiger win, since that's the closest I can get! I hope I can see some of the game from the dragster line, maybe all that wind last weekend blew the leaves off the trees. :)
I actually know very few "bandwagon" jumpers in Detroit. The Tigers have always been a huge force in the city, they've just sucked for as long as I've been alive. I've been a Tigers fan my whole life, and I've waited 21 years to say "The Tigers are going to the World Series!"
I'll be there first pitch on Saturday, in front of the big screen!

Well, I was 4 when they last won it, 7 when they last made it to the playoffs and 13 when they last had a winning season.
Just remember, the Cards were under .500 against their own division. And the AL smoked the NL in interleague this year (including the Tigers going 3-0 against STL).
Not saying the Tigers will sweep (though it would be nice) but I don't give the cards more than 1, maybe 2 wins.
Goodbye MrScott

I find myself totally disappointed that my Mets didn't make it this year :(
The Cards pitching was outstanding last night (game 7) and the Mets really blew a couple of great opportunities.
Oh well-nice to see I wasn't the only Mets fan left out there!! :)
But on the flip side, at least it wasn't the Yankees!!!
I can't help but remember the '03 Series and think the Cards are in for the same fate from the Tigers.
I will be have to check out the score at CP on occasion tomorrow to see what's happening since my hubby (a Reds fan) and I will be enjoying BooBuzz.

It's all about getting around the barrels, or over the fences, right leads, no faults, fastest time and looking pretty when done. What's so hard about that? 
Let's go Cardinals! Shut um down in game 1 Weaver!!
You're right Raptor Jo, are pitching was outstanding, especially Suppan. Supppppppppppe.
It was the '04 series when we were swept against the Red Sox Jo.
