Giants-Tigers could get intense. I'm sure that deep down, skitch hates himself.

Disappointing to see how poorly Koufax did. Thought he'd be one of the dominant aces.

He has disappointed in previous tournaments, too. Not sure what he ever did to piss off George Brett, but it must have been bad.

We should mail him a case of Hopslam if this happens and see if it's true.

Also, I'm assuming unless one of them shows up and says otherwise that the A's and Cards are running with the same rotations they've been using.

We're actually going with Clemens for game one.

Is George Brett anti-Semitic?

Truth be told, I don't think the Tigers have the starting pitching to make it to the World Series. And even if they were to, by some miracle, they've got nothing to combat the Keefe/Welch combo.

Thank you for having us to your dinner party. The wife and I had a truly nice time.

Hank Greenberg and his .990 OPS would say no.

Good point.

They fared pretty well against the A's in the regular season, didn't they? If I had to put money on it, I'd take the Tigers over the A's.

Nope. Clemens in game 1.

Well that sucked
I guess having my first player in 4 tournaments get ejected in the 1st inning of my first playoff game was a sign of bad things to come.

There should be more ejections.

We'll go Pedro in game two.

And HBP and home-plate collisions. Every now and then I'll see back-to-back batters get hit by pitches and I'm always hoping for retaliation or injuries or brawls or ejections or something, but nothing ever comes of it.

Holy crap guys, the Dodgers are going to win the World Series! And no, I am not getting ahead of myself.
