Detroit Tigers are one game away
The Detroit Tiger’s are on the verge of a spot in the 2006 World Series, something that very few people other than me thought they had a shot at doing. I was listening to our local sports talk radio station and they all wrote the Tiger’s off and gave it to the Yankee’s before the very first pitch. Especially since the Yankee’s payroll is more that a $100 milliond dollars more than the Tiger’s $88 million payroll.
It just goes to show you, all the money can’t always buy a World Series. I guess George Steinbrenner needs to come up with game plan to get to the World Series. The Detroit Tiger’s showed everyone that good pitching a better than average hitting and a bit of luck can get you far these days.
The Tiger’s dispatched with the New York Yankee’s in four games and now they are up 3-0 on the Oakland A’s. One more game and they will be the AL Champions for 2006 and will represent the American League in the World Series for the first time since 1984 when they beat the San Deigo Padres in the World Series.
The Tiger’s have been getting plenty of quality inning’s from all four of our starters and Jeremy Bonderman, who is our fourth starter will have the honor of sealing the deal and putting us back into the World Series.
