When I started this blog, the original intent was to make it about hockey and baseball. So far, I've been good about the first part, and less than average about the second part. As a matter of fact, the last real talk about baseball was around the All-Star week, and that was because it was a big deal in Kansas City, since that is where I am right now and the Game was held there this year. Tonight is game 7 of the NLCS, and we will find out who will be hosting the Detroit Tigers in game 1 of the World Series. San Francisco was down 3-1, but are on the verge of overcoming that, thanks to a rag-tag group of players while St. Louis is looking to save face on a season that has seen them win WITHOUT Albert Pujols, who took the money and ran to Anaheim. Personally, I thought this was going to be an interesting series, and it has, despite not watching much of the series (or any TV, for that matter since coming back from Portland). Whoever comes out of the NLCS will have to face one of the hottest pitching staffs in Detroit, who is turning out to be more than just Justin Verlander. Offensively, the Tigers haven't been the team that many expected, and certainly, the bullpen has its issues. However, great starting pitching can trump just about anything, and Detroit is a favorite for that reason.
