RevMike's Journal: Congrats, Tigers

Here is the rule that everyone should remember:

Unless there is a severe flaw in some other part of their game, the team that pitches better will win.

The Tigers have no flaws, and they simply pitched better. Wang and Mussina are a nice pair but I don't have anyone I feel good about 3 through 5 and I don't have any confidence in my relievers short of Rivera.

Good luck, Detroit. I hope you come back to NY for the World Series. On paper the Mets probably match up the best, although they've had some injuries lately and they are playing in Quadruple "A" rather than the major league. Your path look pretty clear from here on out.

One flaw

Is that the Tigers do strike out. A lot. They also don't draw walks.

Oakland has quality pitching, and the ALCS will be a good series. My pick? Tigers in 6.

And the A's are patient and will work the count. You know I'm totally for the A's, but a Tiger's World Series victory would be almost, but not quite, just as good.
