Looks like the Tigers are just waiting on the Cards and Giants to see who's next.

Delmon Young is the ALCS MVP, first player in MLB history to have 4 game winning RBIs in a series.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
I am hoping the Cards win in 5 now, so that they will have almost as much time off before the Series starts as the Tigers will.

Happy for the Tigers and hope the Cards get in for the fact that Pujols left for the money and they get back the World Series with out him.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
Congrats to the Tigers, and Tom!
I tend to think of myself as a pretty level headed Yankee fan. I try not to get too excited when they're up, and remain calm when they're low. Despite what the PR machine tells me, I don't consider "not winning the World series" a failure of a season. All that said, this is a disaster! I've seen the Yanks lose plenty of series. I've been sad, discouraged, and disappointed by past performances. They've let me down, and broken my heart. But never have they infuriated me, like they did in this postseason! From top to bottom, I've never seen a more gutless performance! I've never liked Girardi, and his performance here was awful! To try and lay this at the feet of A-rod, while continuing to give Cano, Swisher, and Grandy a reach around, makes me want to bite his face like Max Cady. If you want to bench A-rod, to make a point, Fine, but he was never going to win this series, under any circumstances, with A-rod on the bench! I have so much more to add, but the vein bulging out of my neck, is forcing me to step away from the keyboard!

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
I agree Dom, it seems like the "experts" are trying to pin this on A-Rod. Well, as bad as he may have played, he didn't play in a couple games that they lost. How can you pin that on him? I don't really care for the Yankees, or the Tigers for that matter, but to say that this was anything other than a collective team loss, is crazy. Of course you have to give props to the Tigers for the excellent starting pitching, the timely hitting, and some solid defense. I don't see how any NL team is going to beat the Tigers at this point.

BTW, the bolded statement was said in 2006 too. Not so thrilled with how that one worked out. This team is better than that one though IMO. Pitching is better and the middle of the lineup is better. Lineup 1-9 may not be quite what the '06 team was but overall a better team. What's sick is next year Delmon Young won't even be on the team. With V-Mart back as the DH, they won't need him. He's proven he can't play the field at all anymore. So, it wouldn't suprise me if the Tigers bench him in the NL park. It'll be him or Quentin Berry getting pined due to the Cards starters all being righties and no DH allowed. My bet is Leyland goes with the L-R matchup not Delmon due to his hot streak. At least that's been Leyland's leanings in the past anyway. Pulling for the Tigers or their opponents?

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
Looks like an all orange WS this year. I'm pulling for Detroit. Even though I'm a big NL fan, this will be the third year in a row that I've rooted for an AL team in the WS.
