    For what it's worth...I love John Miller as a baseball announcer. I would kill to have that guy doing the radio broadcasts for the Astros.

    Anyone notice how FOX acts as though they just discovered the high speed camera. Every swing, every dive, every bite of popcorn is caught on the camera and shown in super slo-mo 50 times in a row.

    I don't want to see that guy walk down the steps in slow motion on their "phantom cam".

    There goes my prediction of Tigers in 5. I still like the Tigers in the series but obviously they have to take care of buisness at home. I have a feeling that the change in scenery will be just what the Tigers need to get back in this series. As long as the Tigers do what the Giants did than they can go back to San Fran only needing to win 1 out of two.

    Tigers bats have gone quiet the same way St. Louis' bats went quiet.

    Who knew Hunter Pence had that alpha dog/intensity in him? I also never noticed how much he reminds me of Woody Harrelson lol. If anyone ever wants to make a movie about this world series, they can use Woody for Hunter and Luke Wilson to play Verlander.

    That was epic..

    Striking out the best player in baseball to complete a sweep. You couldn't script a more dominating performance.

    A fastball down the middle closes the sale. Outsmarted him.

    Down 0-2 vs Cincinnati, 1-3 vs St. Louis, and then sweep in WS, impressive. 2 championships in the last 3 years, not bad either.

    Man, I have to admit, this just doesn't feel as exciting as before to me.
