if i cheer for sport in general, it would technically be impossible to bandwagon...

I'm just glad that you finally fessed up to being a miserable old man that has nothing better to do than to pretend to like teams that i hate, just so you can come on here and try to piss me off...i think you should see a therapist...i think you might have some unresolved issues from childhood...that or you were repeatedly dropped as an infant...it's a coin toss.

Now with logic like that I can see why school was such a struggle for you.

Ouch.

Anyway, what's with the Cardinals' offence disappearing in the LCS? So far they've scored four tonight but they went completely flat in Game 1.

it's funny you'd say that, because i was using your faulty logic as my model for that obviously ridiculous statement...ya...that's fine, it's ok...no, really, it looks good on you :thumb: .

Ok so I was totally off, congrats to the Tigers!

All those long-suffering fans must be going bananas.

Long suffering fans? The Wings won three cups relatively recently and the Tigers won in 1984. I wouldn't call that too much suffering for the fans.

That homerun was the definition of clutch. And how about Suppan going yard in the Cardies' game? Man, this is great!

Looks like I'm going to have to eat some humble pie; I never thought that Detroit would sweep the A's! Magglio's walk off was simply clutch. I'm still hoping for the Mets to wake up and beat the tar out of St. Louis. IMO, the Cardinals weren't their usual dominating self and won the NL Central simply because the rest of the division was weak, with the exception of the Astros and Reds.

Tigers will be tough to beat especially sweepin so quickly, I can see the nlcs goin at least 6 (possibly 7) games, should be fun to watch

that whole steve lyons incident was bizarre i wish i would've seen it, those fox guys are useless (tim maciver anyone? argh)

The Wings championships don't do much to placate Tigers fans. If the Bengals win a Super Bowl (which isn't looking too likely right now), it won't do dick for my desire to see the Reds finally make the playoffs.

1984 was 22 years ago! Go back a look how horrid the Tigers have been since 1984. They lost 117 games a few years ago.....

Yes, I would agree that Tiger fans have suffered mightily.

Took the words out of my life. 2003 the Tigers had the... 3rd worst record in all-time baseball I believe? It's been 22 years with nothing to cheer about at all, really. If you're going to say at least the Red Wings have been good then you'd have to talk about the Pistons, as well. They've been to the Finals 5 times during that span.

I'm currently trying to get tix to Game 4 on Wednesday. MLB linked site is currently down. Wish me luck.

Currently in a "Virtual Waiting Room" for tickets. Very exciting!




Oh, here's some magazines....Home and Garden! Crap.

Good luck getting tickets! I've never had the good fortune of attending a division or league playoff game, let alone the Fall Classic!

Your starting pitching (namely Weaver and Suppan) are bringin' it at the best possible time, and the pressure is probably more on Tigers than your Cards. This is as good a scenario as any for winning a World Championship in the STL.....

This has the makings of a great Series. I love to see two historical franchises steeped in tradition representing each league, especially two that hail from media markets that are less-glamorous than Chicago, New York, San Francisco, L.A., etc.

The Cardinals franchise (originally the St. Louis Browns) joined the National League in 1891 after playing for about a decade in the American Associacion (whichfolded in 1891), and have now won 17 NL Pennants. They are vying for their 10th World Championship.

The Detroit Tigers were a charter member of the American League, officially formed in 1901. They have now won 10 AL Pennants and are hoping to win their 5th World Series.
