Tigers Lose World Series In 4 Straight






































  Your Detroit Tigers were out and about on Sunday for what was game 4 of the World Series. This was probably the best game that they had out of the 4 they played against the Giants. Now listen up. I am not one for bashing any hometown heroes, but I am going to bring it up because you probably were thinking it last night and throughout the entire World Series. Where was Prince Fielder? Last time I checked, he doesn't get paid by the strikeout. The guy is one of the highest paid players in the MLB and you, me, and the rest of the Tigers players and staff, had to be thinking the same thing. He just didn't show up at all in the games. As a matter of fact, check out his stats as provided by ESPN.com below.

  As always you are going to have someone who points the finger at another player and goes to blame the loss on them instead. As this may be the case, Fielder seemed to stand out the most as the one to put the majority of the blame on. If you are still undecided at this point, you can form your own opinions on who is to blame by clicking on that link.

  On a more positive note, I would like to thank the Detroit Tigers for a great season overall. They made a hell of a run to even make the playoffs, let alone make it to the World Series. Sweeping the Yankees is no easy task, regardless of how A-Rod and Granderson were playing and the injury that Jeter suffered as well was just icing on the cake. So raise your glass and tip your hats to your Detroit Tigers on a well-played season! Bless you boys.

  1. I was utterly disappointed with not only being SWEPT in the series, but the performance of some of our best players. Verlander suddenly reverted from cy young winner, to all star game loser, and prince might as well have stayed at home.

    While I'm proud of the boys for having such a great season and making it all the way to the series, what good is it really to not even put up a fight? League pennants in baseball mean as much as conference championsips in basketball, nothing.
