Tigers Sweep Their Way Into 2012 Fall Classic

For the first time since 2006 the Detroit Tigers will play in the Fall Classic. Over in the National League the Cardinals currently lead the Giants 3-1 in their best of seven NLCS. The last time Detroit were in the World Series they loss to St. Louis. If the Cards are able to advance to the World Series, they'll set up two things : a rematch from 2006 and the Cardinals would be attempting to win back to back World Series. Detroit had to battle down the stretch just to capture the AL Central, the White Sox would not go away to the bitter end. The Tigers led by manager Jim Leyland won ALDS Game 5 in Oakland to advance to the ALCS. The team avoided blowing a 2-0 series lead. Then went into the Bronx and took a pair of games from the Yankees. The team returned to the Motor City and finished the Bronx Bombers off.
