This goes to show how hard it is to repeat in baseball.
Since the Yanks had their threepeat from 1998-2000, only two other teams- 2001 Yankees, 2009 Phillies- even got back to the WS the year after winning it all.

Congrats to the Giants fans and faithful. Tigers fans will be seeing you soon in the World Series, which should be a good one. Go Tigers!
Yep.
Go Tigers
For only the third time in the last 10 years I will be rooting for the AL. Of course all three times were because the Giants were in the WS.
Completely outnumbered by Tigers fans but that's OK. 
Go Giants! Even though I think the magic will eventually end and the best team will win the Series. The Tigers are a very good team but we're up for the challenge.

The Tigers definitely have an advantage in that their starting pitchers are well-rested and they can start the Series with their #1 pitcher in the rotation. That being said...all hell can break out when the games begin, and our bullpen has not been been less-than-stellar, to put it nicely. Looking forward to the experience.
My take on the World Series:
Offense: I think the Giants lineup is VERY underrated, but they simply don't have the bats to match the Tigers two headed monster. EDGE: Detroit
Defense: Neither team is spectacular, IMHO, but the Giants are better up the middle with Pagan, Crawford, Scutaro and Posey. EDGE: San Francisco
Starting Pitching: Two exceptional rotations, but I have to give the edge to the Tigers because of Verlander (this would be a push or even edge Giants if Lincecum was the Lincecum of old) EDGE: Detroit
Bullpen: I'm not really excited about either bullpen, but I would give the Giants a huge edge if "The Beard" wasn't on the DL. EDGE: Giants
PREDICTION: I realize that I picked the Giants to win the World Series at the beginning of this thread, but I think the Tigers will match up really well against them. TIGERS IN 6

Here are my predictions, going all the way to the World Series:
ALWC: Rangers over Orioles
NLWC: Cardinals over Braves
ALDS: Tigers over Athletics in 4
Yankees over Rangers in 5
NLDS: Giants over Reds in 5
Cardinals over Nationals in 4
ALCS: Yankees over Tigers in 6
NLCS: Giants over Cardinals in 6
World Series: Giants over Yankees in 7 ?????
Wow, I only wish I put some money on these picks. I've changed my mind for the World Series winner, I now like the Tigers over the Giants in 6.
