Anything anywhere close to this will be good enough for me.
Those were the great days of baseball. This year's Tigers are a lot like the 1984 team...the Cards on the other hand are nothing like the Gibson years.
Tigers in 5, I'll give one game to LaRussa and the Red Birds

Game 1: Bob Seger will sing "America the Beautiful." Al Kaline and Willie Horton will throw out the first pitch.

Game 2: Anita Baker will sing the National Anthem

I'm rooting for the Cradinals to win just to say I told you so.
Since the advent of the misguided playoff system in the 90's, the best team rarely wins.
5th best team in their own league is 3 wins away from being world champs, lol. What a joke.

Last I checked you said the AL team would crush the NL team. Don't see how you can be saying I told you so to anything. I guess if you say enough though you will always be able to say I told you so about something.

Who ever said anything about the best team winning the World Series?

It's 4 of 7 and that's just one game above .500 when it counts the most.

Let the best slightly above average team prevail.

GO CARDS !!!

How do you figure fifth best team? Only the Yanks and Twins had more wins in the AL, only the Mets in the NL.

Then the Cardinals? Are you kidding me?
In the NL:
Mets 97 wins
Padres 88wins
Dodgers 88 wins
Phillies 85 wins
Cardinals 83 wins

They were 5th best in their own league.

In the AL there were EIGHT TEAMS with more wins than the Cards.
So the team that was 13th best in regular season play is now 3 wins away from the trophy.
You telling me there isn't anything wrong with that?

And yeah, I'm rooting for the Cards. I hate cheaters. USC got theirs last year when Vinnie hugged the mascot and Pete carroll had a nervous breakdown on tv.
I just can't bear the thought of Rogers getting a ring now.
I will be rooting for the redbirds tonight.
