So I'm thinking Detroit is going to take AL. They are on fire. I think Jim Leyland has something to do with that. So maybe world series will be Tigers vs Mets.

Jim Leyland is a good manager. He is good with young guys. That's the matchup I was thinking too, but I could also see White Sox vs Mets too.

white sox has solid pitching. at the beginning of the season i thought for sure that detroit would fizzle out mid-june. but i was totally wrong.

Definitely. Their starters threw at least 8 innings each game in last years World Series. If you have starters that can do that, you are in a good position to repeat.

i thought for sure that buehrle was going to get the cy young last year..i was so disappointed when he didn't. he's awesome.

Yeah he's solid. 16 wins usually isn't enough to get a Cy Young though. Typically a guy needs 18 wins or more. Randy Johnson is the exception to the rule, but he had a sick ERA and high strikeout rate the year he won with 13 wins or so.

wow he only had 16 wins? i was thinking it was more. how about his belly flop on the tarp? classic. i also love how ozzie guillen had to have sensitivity training.

Didn't see the belly flop. Was it a thing of beauty? Guillen is a psycho. LOL!
