Tigers Sweep!!!

The Yankees looked pathetic, it wasn't even close.

The Tigers did look good today!! Pitching was great and the bats were hot. Yankees go home.

Now, is the Birds gonna eat the Cats, or is the Cats gonna smoke the Birds?

Should be a good series. I am a little suspect of the Tigers Bullpen. However,..Detroit has better starting pitchers than St. Louis.

Last time the Tigers won the Pennant was in '68 when Kaline, Mclain, Gibson, and Lolich won against the Cardinals with an 8 to 1 final.

And don't forget Willie Horton, Norm Cash, Dick McAuliff, Jim Northrup, Gates Brown, Tom Timmerman, Mayo Smith, Don Wert, Bill Freehan. Now that was a team. I was at Tiger Stadium once when Willie blasted a homer out of the stadium. What a sight.

Back to the late 60's again; Tigers vs. Cardinals.

I'm a Yankee fan but my hat is off to the Tigers. I'm riding with them the rest of the way. A great team with a great manager. Jim Leyland is a class guy and deserves to win the World Series.

So-congratulations, Tiger fans; keep those Tigers growling!!

Good players and good team. I can't remember who the coach was but undoubtedly Ernie Harwell was the announcer.

I was at the Cards game last night and boy was it a show. Glad those Tigers took out the Yanks. Any day that happens is a good day. Good luck if the Cards get to face your Tigers. Cards have some hot bats right now.

But I still think of a little poem from Mad magazine, back when the Tigers were the perenniel doormats of the American League:

Tigers, Tigers, shining bright,
In the ballpark of the night,
Your pitching's fair,
your fielding adroit,
so why no pennants for Detroit?

Congrats to the Tigers, and to A-rod of the Yanks, who looks to become the only guy in America who gets to sit on a bench and watch ball games for $25 million a year.

Mayo was the manager and probably Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey did the announcing. Didn't George Kell do the televised?
