Say it ain't so Brandon! The 1919, I mean 2006 Tigers go down!

Eighty men out. The Tigers blew it on purpose. What did they bat for the series? .150??? Remember, they were picked to win the Series in THREE!

What were the odds? Eleventy-jazillion to one? The fix was in! Ivan Rodriguez was clearly paid to do bad.

Sean Casey (yeah, Mayors are never corrupt) may have been too stupid to realize he was supposed to play bad.

Kenny Rogers (the GAMBLER) would never cheat or fix a contest, would he?

Come on..... EVERYONE knows Jeff Weaver was NEVER tis good. Dudes were getting paid...

HOW MANY ERRORS can a team have before you KNOW it's fixed!!!

First off, Tony LaRussa isn't a good manager, especially not good enough to win TWO World Series. Why didn't he bat the pitcher 8th?

Albert Pujols is WAY better than Derek Jeter at being a WORLD CHAMPION.

Curtis Granderson's "slip".... yeah, sure!

Brandon Inge, poor Brandon Inge...

Even Shoeless Joe Jackson down there in hell (not in the Hall of Fame) knows baseball is full of cheaters!

It was either a fix or :"The Curse of Bob Higginson" (there are Temple Owls everywhere!)

Congratulations, St Louis... you waited a long time and pretty much have been good at getting jobbed the last couple of years, congratulations on #10... you are officially now the NL Yankees as far as I'm concerned.

I will go cry now since there's 126 freeking more days until next season...

Somebody got paid off. I just thought that better pitching would beat better hitting. However, the Tigers pitching staff didn't show after the ALCS.

I just think it took the Tigers 162 regular season games and two postseason series to remember they were the Tigers.

Manny they have a pretty solid team to build on...no one here thought the Tigers would make it this far w/ the team they have. Just wait for the pitching staff to mature, and maybe sign a few free agents...the Tigers are very much a contender for next year.
