We have completed the regular season of baseball! Now it's time for the excitement as we enter the post season. I want to say I am confident in the Detroit Tigers after they won the division again this year, but I just cannot. To say that they have been playing poorly lately is a bit of an understatement. The offense has once again disappeared however the starting rotation has been keeping the games close. They will be playing Oakland again this year and Oakland is peaking at the right time (which is mostly what the post season is all about) and this scares me. They have gone 7-3 over their last ten games whereas the Tigers have gone 5-5.
I cannot stand when the Tigers play out in Oakland. It isn't even the time change that bugs me. It's the little things that can make all the difference. The fans are moronic and borderline frat boyish, the stadium needs to be condemned, and I'm not going to lie I just don't like the players. I've looked at their roster and I cannot find one player that I like. They will be playing a best of five series and if they lose in the first round, I will be heartbroken.
At the beginning of the year, I wrote a
post with my prediction on how the AL Central would end up and this is what I came up with:
- Detroit Tigers
- Kansas City Royals
- Cleveland Indians
- Chicago White Sox
- Minnesota Twins
This is how the Central actually ended up looking like:
- Detroit Tigers
- Cleveland Indians
- Kansas City Royals
- Minnesota Twins
- Chicago White Sox
So not exactly the most accurate of predictions, but the only one I got right is the one that matters. Hopefully the Tigers can magically flip the switch as the calendar turns to October, but I am cautiously waiting to see what happens.
