MLB 2012 Postseason

[BillD1984]

It will be the Tigers in either St. Louis or San Francisco, when the World Series starts next Wednesday night. I wonder who will get the start for the Tigers in Game 1?

Never gave up when the going was rough, like thru most of the season, but they didn't make it easy getting there.

Several times I thought they were probably done, but the made it.

I remember going 2/3rds of the season not being able to win more than 2-3 games in a row ....

Then THIS at the end of the season and in the Post Season, this is Great.

Many said if anything the Tigers were built for the playoffs, if they could get there, they'd be tough.

I will admit, and there are posts on it....the regular season frustrated me big time.....But it's a new season now

Well, Ric Porcello of course !

Hes the most rested pitcher they have (starter wise)

 

[DodgerKing]

Where's Claude been through this whole run. I wonder if he is staying away for fear of jinxing it?

I think we're going to be rested...perhaps too rested when Game 1 rolls around. I think the NLCS is going seven games. We shall see.

He's probably in the stands behind 1b taking it all in !

Don't see to much of Mr. Illitch, hope they can get one for him

 

[Jimbo]

Sad to see Mr. I going down hill as much as he has in the last few years ....

This would be a GREAT WIN for him and the team and fans.

It's hard to image our being in a World Series without Ernie. :

I was thinking the same! Hope they can get it for him!

Got to love leyland

 

[Jimbo]

I wonder ...
If the Tigers go on to Win the upcoming WS, Will Jim Leyland accept the contract for the next year(s), they wouldn't fire him if he wins the WS ....

Or will he Walk Away on top like his buddy Tony LaRussa did.

That was great! I loved how they threw in the little tidbit about Delmon Young having as many RBI as the Yankees had runs in the ALCS.

They wouldn't fire him and he would most likely go out on top IMO.

Thanks for sharing this ...
The last half is very touching, particularly if your a Tiger fan that grew up listening to Ernie as I did on my portable transistor radio.

Dad, can I have another 9v battery !

Of course a lot will depend on what happens in games 1 through 3, but it will be intersting to see if Leyland goes with Verlander in games 1-4-7.

I probably would. With the travel days it shouldn't be too bad.

I think he is done either way...would be nice for the send off but I think this season has been taxing on him

He has not been offered an extension (at least publicly) last year on his contract

How many people would have picked Delmon to be the 2012 ALCS MVP? Congrats!
