Game seven tonight. Jeff Suppan against Oliver Perez. Meanwhile, Detroit has been waiting nearly a week just to find out who they're playing in the World Series. I picked the Mets to be there at the start of the season, so I'm sticking with them.
The consensus, based on what they've done so far in the postseason(and the specious argument that, since the AL is better than the NL, any good AL team will beat any good NL team), seems to be that the Tigers will win it all with relative ease, regardless of who they play. I confess, that does appear to be a good possibility. On paper, I still think the Mets are the better team, and I might give the edge to a healthy Cardinals team too, but that didn't mean much to Houston last year, or the Yankees in '03. The Tigers are playing well at the right time, and lately, anything Jim Leyland pulls out of his ass turns to gold. Detroit definitely has the edge in starting pitching, which helps.
I'm still very sorry Pedro isn't healthy. I'm also sorry Billy Wagner has been such a dissapointment so far. He doesn't look 100%.
