Time For Game 3 At Busch
We'd like to thank Joe Sports Fan for this photo of a true Cardinals superfan; this is exactly what we're wearing to the game tomorrow....
Stepping Away From Rogers, And Toward Leyland
All right, we're gonna make a vow: We're pretty tired of this whole Kenny Rogers business, and we're not gonna talk about it anymore. We know controversy is fun, and we know Rogers probably had pine tar on his hand, and we know Tony LaRussa probably should have had him thrown out of the game. But ...
On The Scene For Game 2
Jalopnik editor Ray Wert has been in Detroit all week and was at Game 2 last night. Here's his report....
World Series Blogdome: Game Two
Checking in with the blogs following Detroit's 3-1 win over St. Louis in Game Two of the World Series ......
On Kenny Rogers' Hands, Fist Pumps And Endless Zeroes
It has been a while since we've had any real controversy in the World Series — frankly, it has been a while since we had a competitive World Series, though it looks like we've headed for one right now — so we are suspicious of the rampant hooting and/or hollering this morning about what pretty pla...
Live From Game One
Jalopnik's Ray Wert is a man who loves the Tigers and has fragile emotions—particularly when being left out of Gawker media bets. He was at game one of the World Series last night....
So I Guess The Cardinals Are Serious About This
The Cardinals went into Detroit last night and took down Cousin Mose in his own barn, taking game one away from Justin Verlander and the heavily-favored Tigers....
World. Freakin'. Series.
I don't know if you heard, but the Cardinals won the National League Championship Series. They'll be the guys heading to Detroit tonight to finally get the Tigers off of their lazy asses to play a little baseball. The 2006 World Series gets underway at 7:30 on Fox, and with any luck, Tim McCarver...
World Series Pants Party: Tigers Vs. Cardinals
Holy cow, we can't believe we're actually doing a prediction roundup for the Cardinals, who are in the World Series, against the Tigers. We're not over shock yet; it actually comes in waves, which is kind of what shock does, we suppose....
Hopefully He Won't Get Confused And Sing A Car Commercial
Before Game 1 of the 2004 World Series, we were talking to our father, little pregame discussion of how these Red Sox were going down, man, when he stopped. "Holy shit," he said. "The guy from Aerosmith is singing the national anthem. Damn, that makes me feel old." Our father, who missed the Diane W...
Fun With Extinct Clothing
We're sure this happens all the time, but it's still funny when Major League Baseball accidentally slips and posts it. Last night and up until early this morning, you could buy this sweatshirt from MLB.com, prominently featuring the upcoming World Series matchup between the Detroit Tigers and the ...
Four Moments In October
The thing about a Game 7 for your team, we're noticing this morning, is that you forget that you and the people you are with aren't the only people watching it. Every pitch is so intense, every second's pressure so heightened, you lose all perspective: It feels like it's only happening to you. And...
Meanwhile, In Detroit ...
This video, shot by a fan from the Comerica Field left-field bleachers just beyond where Maggio Ordonez hit his World Series-trip-clinching home run Saturday afternoon, is yet another example of why baseball is the greatest thing on earth. (At least until the Cardinals blow the next two, which is no...
"You Down With Brandon Inge?"
We've logged some pretty outstanding fan song remixes, including the rather epic "Sweet Shaun Alexander," which even made deceased members of Lynyrd Skynyrd roll over in their graves, and they're still drunk....
Whatever It Takes, Tiger Fans. Whatever It Takes
It's World Series week in Detroit, and you know what that means: Fans doing anything they can in a mad, desperate dash for tickets. (If the Cardinals somehow sneak in, you know we're whoring ourselves out. Though we're still not going anywhere near a press box.) Our first entry is an eBay auction of...
The Tigers Are Making The World A Better Place
OK, now that we have the floor, we, like pretty much everybody not from the Bay Area, were ecstatic to see the Detroit Tigers clinch their first World Series trip since 1984 over the weekend, in pretty much the most exciting way possible: A walk-off shot at home. We love the above Getty Images photo...
Tigers Reach The Promised Land, Jeff Suppan Dominates Everything
We'll get to the Cardinals in a second, but first, here's Jalopnik's Ray Wert on the Tigers win against Oakland last night:...
Live From Detroit...
The following words are from Ray Wert, associate editor with our homeboys Jalopnik. He likes Detroit, cars, and the Tigers... maybe even some combination of Eminem, Kid Rock, and Aretha Franklin. He was fortunate enough to be at the Tigers/A's game yesterday this photo gallery....
One Series Almost Over, One Just Getting Started
For a while last night, it seemed like there was a pretty good chance that the Tigers/A's series would actually be over before the Mets/Cardinals game. The Cardinals posted a manly three-run ninth inning to finally win a 3-hour and 58-minute game that did not go into extra innings....
Playoff Blogdome: Tigers at Athletics, Game 2
