World Series chumps

I am referring, of course to the Detroit Tigers, whose staggering ineptitude on both offense and defense cost them the champiionship. Hell, the way they played they'd be lucky to win a regular-season series against the Kansas City Royals.

The postseason was kind of like a microcosm of the Tigers' season, if you think about it. They started strong, looking like the most dominant team in the game, then faded dramatically down the stretch.

Anyway, congratulations to the St. Louis Cardinals, who were the better team hands-down, and especially to Series MVP David Eckstein. He was always one of my favorites when he played for the Angels, and he's continued to be a scrappy player and a great leadoff man in St. Louis.
