Gander,as far as who wins the NL West goes,it makes a big difference.The Dodgers can't hit good pitching on the road.That is exactly why they struggle against St.Louis.They were competitive in 3 out of the 4 games AGAINST THE METS a couple weeks ago(and took 2 out of the 4 games.)They would have a chance against the Mets,but virtually no shot against the Cards.Dodgers bullpen is struggling (middle relief) now.Tomko has blown games in 4 of the last 5 games that Grady has been dumb enough to use him in.Tomko got into trouble Monday Night against the Padres,and made decent pitches to get out of it.Should have gone out on a high note,and retired that night.The guy is a joke.BTW,the Padres are too good to miss the post.Phils or Dodgers will stay home.I am going to the stadium tonight.Hope Maddux can stop a carefree Pirates team.

Tigers played the Yanks reasonably tough in the series earlier this month in NYC.

I still expect them to fold though. The Tigers wouldn't have it any other way. I can't expect their first winning record since 1993 to result in a playoff appearance.

Slot- The Tigers are in. They probably will blow the division but the wildcard is their fall back. Its too late for the White Sox. Although they spanked you guys yesterday, they would have to run the table to have a chance and have a total Detroit collapse. Congrats, its always nice when your team is in the post. Now go out and make the majority of baseball fans happy and take out NY in the 1st round.

Scuds- Have a good time at Chavez Ravine. I always liked that venue for baseball. Lets get er done so I can have a team to root for in the post!

I won't believe the Tigers are in the postseason until they don't blow a five game lead with 11 to play. You don't know what it's like to root for the Tigers and Lions every year. And the University of Michigan. It's painful.

LOL! Try being a die hard Red Sox fan since birth. Suffered through the 1975 and 1986 heartbreaks and many losing years between and after. None more painful than losing game 7 to the Yankees in 2003. Try having a rival like the NY Yankees, good grief!

Tim the Tigers will win the divison. They have a cakewalk schedule coming home.
Playoffs will be Yanks opening at home agaisnt the Twins, and Tigers opening at home against the A's.

In the NL I see the Mets opening agaisnt the Padre's and I will call the Cardinals opening against the Phillies.
