The Tigers Win the Penant!

And on to the World Series . . . what a great series. The A's threw everything they had at the Tigers tonight . . . but not enough. That Milton Bradley is quite a player, even with a strained quad . . . but he'll have to wait for next year. This year is the Tiger's, baby.

Btw, as a fan, one comes to have strong feelings for certain players. In this case, Brandon Inge and, of course, Pudge. Here's the list: Yogi Berra, Johnny Bench, and Pudge. The three greatest catchers of all time. But this Placido Palanco, he's one helluva player.
