This series features the worst 3B defensive matchup in the history of baseball.

Winger's 3B is Chipper. The fans don't get that bad of a matchup when compared. I'm only thinking of the fans here.

Don't go dragging Larry into this. He's perfectly adequate.

Which is more than can be said for Modo's Pete Rose experiment at 3rd

Agreed. Thus creating more of a balance for the fans to not have to watch balls being kicked around from both sides.

Tigers will be rolling with a 4 man rotation, and move MadBum into the Pen for this series (and we all know how effective he can be there in the post season). This is a very interesting matchup. On paper, I have the superior lineup, while the bridegrooms have the better starting rotation. The bullpens appear to be a bit of a wash, though I do have the better closer, so I may have a slight edge overall there. I do believe my rotation is good enough to match the compete level of his big 3 though.

 

[Pwnasaurus]

It's a great matchup. I can't remember where I had the Tigers but they were Top 3 in the AL for me.

In Game 1, Kid Nichols got the Tigers off to a fast start in the series, blanking the Bridegrooms by the score of 3-0. It was Nichols first playoff win in over a century so he was due.

Game 2 saw Pedro Martinez overcome his playoff "Who's Your Daddy?" demons of the past and knot up the series 1-1. Brooklyn pounded out 10 hits and crossed the plate 5 times against the Ryan Express and the series shifted to Detroit after a 6-2 victory.

In Game 3, Jimmie Foxx drove in 3 but it wasn't enough as Frankie Frisch and Arky Vaughan combined for 7 hits at the top of the order and Brooklyn took a 2-1 lead in the series after a 7-3 win.

Game 4 ended as a pitcher's duel with Santana edging out Shocker 1-0, McGwire's double down the left field line being the difference in the 8th. Brooklyn returns home seeking a series win.

In Game 5 the Brooklyn faithful that came out to see their team were treated to another nail biter, but this time Lefty Grove toppled the Kid by a count of 4-1. Brooklyn advances to face the winner of New York/Cleveland.

Great matchup guys I had both teams right near the top.

Yup. Very good team.

Once again the Tigers fall in the playoffs to UL. Great series and good luck!
