"Evans, Leitner, and Lindeman gave us fits, that's for sure," said Tiger Manager Arkham "Arky" Winters. "And we couldn't compete with their starting pitching - especially Olsen Jr. - but I do believe our bullpen came through for us in this series, and that essentially made the difference. Especially in that last 13-inning game, where they gave us five shutout innings."
Congratulations to CrazyCougars who will be back and beating up on the AL next year, for sure.

The Detroit Tigers, on a pair of key hits from platoon infielder Cory Miller, and a gutsy bounce-back performance by P Bill West - after getting trounced in Game 1 out in Oakland - have stunned and upset the Oakland A's to advance into the World Series for the first time in 24 years!"Evans, Leitner, and Lindeman gave us fits, that's for sure," said Tiger Manager Arkham "Arky" Winters.

Side note, that's exactly what LindeLeit (what I call the duo, although it sounds more like a beer) does. Two of the better hitters I've ever had, they both place top 5 in career AVG, OPS, SLG, and Leitner is top 12 in OBP. Lindeman leads in all-time AVG and OPS. 9 MVP's between both.

Damn. Props to you and Detroit, I won't lie that after this dominant of a season I wasn't expecting it. My "elite" pitching just didn't hold up. So congratulations, good luck in the WS!Side note, that's exactly what LindeLeit (what I call the duo, although it sounds more like a beer) does.

The Cards went 14-7 vs the Cubs head to head this season and yet we sit home watching the playoffs. Such is life.

ABE can be so cruel. Can't tell you the number of times this kind of stuff happens. The old curse, "Anything can happen in a short series"The Cards went 14-7 vs the Cubs head to head this season and yet we sit home watching the playoffs. Such is life.

I just read a quote from Al Lopez the other day:"Anything can happen in a short series. I just didn't realize it would be that short."
