The World Series is set and it looks to be a classic. The American League Champion Detriot Tigers had a wonderous regular season, they had the best record in the Majors at the all-star break. However, they hit a roadblock during the second half and lost the division to the Minnesota Twins, they still got into the playoffs by winning the wildcard over last year's champs the Chicago WhiteSox. They played the New York Yankees in the first round of the playoffs and I thought they were finished. The Yankees won game 1 but choked and were eliminated by the Tigers in 4 games. They then played the Oakland Athletics who swept my pick to win the World Series the Minnesota Twins. The A's were no match for the Tigers bowing down to them in 4 games. A's slugger Frank Thomas went 0-11 in the series. His former teammate Maglio Ordonez had no troubles hitting the baseball as he connected with the walk-off home-run that ended Oakland's season.

The St. Louis Cardinals looked to have their division locked up with 10 games remaining. They faced a scare however and sqeecked into the playoffs only a game ahead of the Houston Astros. The Cardinals were not as bad as there record showed, I picked them to beat the Padres and the Mets. Although I had my doubts when I picked them to beat the Mets but they pulled it out in 7 games. The Cardinals were powered all season by strong MVP candidate Albert Pujols who hit 49 homers and 130+ RBI's despite misising 2 weeks because of injury. The Cardinals have a very strong lineup with Pujols, Edmonds, and Rolen leading the pack. The Cards weakness is that they don't have very strong pitching, they have ace Chris Carpenter but after him the pitching is really weak.

 V.S

I'm going to go with the Cards because I've gone with them all playoffs and they haven't let me down. May the better team win.
