verlander is going to give those hippies a reality check and take them off that high they've had. then they'll go to detroit and the fans will eat them up!

GO TIGERS!!!!!!

The way the Cards were eatin up by Giants fans? Giants have proven not to be phased this off season while playing on the road (3 straight in Cincy). Giants need to score early against the Tigers front starters the way they did in most of their wins this postseason. I like Verlander a lot and he's going to be a tough pitcher to get through. It seems to me though Giants hitters knocked him around a bit in the All Star game. Of course Melky is no longer in the line-up and Justin may have just been over-amped for the game. But with him especially they need to draw blood before he gets in his groove. I think the biggest advantage the Tigers have is knowing who the starting rotation will be. While with the Giants, that's somewhat of a question. It's looking to be a really good series. My two keys for both teams: Tigers need to slow down the Giants momentum and keep them down. The Giants need get to Tiger starting pitching early or work them down to get to their bullpen. Look for Buster Posey to break out and get some big hits this series. He's due.
