Is anyone else sick of all this crap (mostly on the Fox pregame show) about the Tigers "rescuing Detroit, saving the city", etc.? Yeah, they're a nice story since they've been so awful up until this season, but it's not like the city of Detroit hasn't had any championships lately. After all, they have the Pistons, who won an NBA title just two and a half years ago. Then there's the Red Wings... and oh, the Red Wings. As a Blues fan, this World Series means a bit more, as the Wings have haunted the Blues whenever they've been up against them in the playoffs. Not to mention their three Stanley Cups in the past ten years. No, I don't feel bad at all for Detroit, whose teams have won seven championships in the four major professional sports since 1981, the year I was born. (St. Louis has won two, for the record.) St. Louis is a baseball town; we deserve this, Hockeytown does not.

Game 1 time. GO CARDS!
