They won it last year.  Tigers haven't won a World Series since 1984.  I worry about the bullpen though.  I'd prefer Valverde not get into any close games.  I have nothing against them though.

Well they just picked up Granderson's option for 13 million.  They could theoretically trade him for an outfielder that hits .300 and has 20hr potential.  I still think they pick up an OF somewhere if not they're left with Granderson (all or nothing type), Gardner (great defense, slap hitter) and a hole in RF.

Red Sox do have cash to spend though.  Are they even going to resign Ortiz?  I think there is still enough talent there to at least put together a winning ball club.  I've read that they've starting exchanging names with Toronto on a trade for manager John Farrell.

They've also interviewed others including Tim Wallach.  I remember watching Wallach play with the Expos.  God that makes me feel old.

Bob Brenly leaves his job as Cubs color analyst and goes back to Arizona to become the Dbacks color guy.  ESPN's Steve Berthuaime will be the play by play guy.  Berthuaime is one of the few guys I actually like on ESPN so I'm curious to see how this works out.  His wife (ESPN anchor Cindy Brunson) is also moving to Arizona with him.

Barring an epic collapse by the Cards, looks like it's a 2006 WS Rematch with Tigers vs Cardinals.  Be rooting for the Tigers as previously mentioned.

Is this where offseason news goes too?  The Yankees got eliminated and Arod might be on the block.  They are also a really OLD team.  Most of their regulars are in their early to mid30s.  Even Robinson Cano is 30 (in three days) and there doesn't seem to be any position players that are MLB ready.  They might have to spend a lot maybe next offseason or just trade some of these stars to get younger position players.  The pitching is a diferent story with Nova and Hughes and Phelps under 30 and Sabbathia is only 32.

Hard to believe but the Red Sox might be better positioned for the future than the Yankess.  And I think very few would have said that after the big August dump trade.  And yes, I know the Yankees will probably sign a few players to fill some of the position player holes they will eventually have.

Good.  For the past year or so Amazon hasn't really had any great pricing deals.  To be honest, I mainly buy movies there and the only reason they lower their prices is to price match other brick and mortar stores.  It's always nice to have another alternative.

I almost hate to say this since it's counter to what a fan should be rooting for but the Cards really should just tank to get a QB because neither Kolb nor Skelton is the long term answer here.

The funny thing is that the Bills come out a 2 game stretch where they allowed 73 points in the second half and the Jets looked very poor for around three games there.  I guess division play will determine this division.

I own the Ravens D for my FF league and they've been very overated basically just getting by on rep.  They also lost Lewis to a pec injury.  It feels weird to say this but Cleveland has the best defense in the division.

Only thing I can make sense of is the KC is probably the worst team in the league.

And the NFC top to bottom is the stronger conference. 

Eagles lost again and they were booing Vick at the end of the game.  I've read where they have an out in his contract where they can just cut him and not owe a lot of cash.

I don't think the Redskins are great but it isn't a far stretch to say they are mediocre.  They have a pretty good offense but just a really shit defense.

And really Fisher, passing up a 4th and 7 and going for a 66 yard FG on a windy and wet field with a kicker that had already missed two kicks?  Good to see that some things don't change.
