Someday? Next Year?

Former Tiger starter Jeff Weaver beat us tonight. Oops, I mean, the Tigers beat themselves the whole series. Eight errors. Five by the pitching staff. The Cardinals didn't win the Series, the Tigers gave it away. It's disappointing, but it was a great season. Somewhat unexpected.

Simply ironic that the last out was made by a strikeout with Brandon Inge at the plate. I wonder where he'll be playing next season?

The Tigers did beat themselves, however, who would have thought, even one year ago, that they would win the ALCS and be in the World Series? Yeah, I'm damn proud of that team, win or lose. Bring on 2007.

The youth and inexperience did show in the World Series. It is interesting to see how some of the players handle the pressure of the playoffs. As I have mentioned during the season, I think Inge and Monroe are on the bubble. After the playoffs I think Monroe really stepped it up in the playoffs and he was one of the Tigers better clutch performers in the second half of the season. Inge doesn't seem to get his role, doesn't handle pressure very well and hasn't improved over the last three seasons.
