Tigers vs. giants in the 2012 World Series

[tonyballs]

Tigers in 5 because i said so...

Good enough?

 

[lonesometiger]

Tigers need 4 to win it all. As to when Tigers get them I do not care. So I'll take them first to 4 and who cares how many it takes. But 4-0 is just as good as any.

I can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing for us:

Karabel and Saxon's descriptions sound more like they were picking the Giants.

Tiger's in 5. Win games 1,2,4 and 5. JV throws a no hitter and wins MVP! Cabby and Prince have big series as well.

I like the way you are thinking!

Just have that feeling that something special is gonna happen in this series.

Were you thinking the Giant's 3B would have 3 HRs in one game?

Figures, someone picks the Giants AFTER game 1 when the Tigers get smacked. Lol. Weak.

Settle down Mitch, the Lions nor Tigers ever win when I pick em to, it had to be done. It's not what you think,

just shut up. TIA

The number of Chicken Littles calling in to 97.1 tonight is astounding. So we lost a game. So what?

People need to calm down and wait for the next stop before jumping off the wagon.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nobody is jumping off...I am just worried that the tigers may not recover after their best pitcher was crushed last night... We really need to win tonight... I sure hope JV gets another chance to pitch good in a world series..Because he has not been good in his first 3 WS starts... Fister needs to step up and I hope our hitters can hit a lefty... Maddening how lefty's dominate us...

Statistics say that it's a 40-percent chance that the Tigers win the WS. But I can recall many teams who have lost G1 and won the WS off the top of my head since I began following MLB:

65 Dodgers
68 Tigers
69 Mets
71 Pirates
75 Reds
78 Yankees
79 Pirates
82 Cardinals (10-0 loss)
83 Orioles
85 Royals
86 Mets
92 Blue Jays
96 Yankees (12-1 loss)
02 Angels
09 Yankees

Transient ischemic attack?

 

[tinselwolverine]

It was making me a little nervous, what with all the experts predicting how great JV was be in Game 1.

Bastards jinxed it.

Oh, well; Tigers just have to win 4 of the next 6.

 

[tigermud]

Transient ischemic attack?

True story: Long time I once saw someone post TIA and I replied What does TIA mean and then I said thanks In advance. about 2 seconds after I hit reply it hit me and I thought OMG... stupid Tigermud just answered his own question and didn't even realize it!

lol
