Like I said in the other thread...............

It may not look so good for the Tigers if they play the Cards. Musial will always be Stan the Man and a potent threat anytime he steps to the plate. Curt Flood has a fantastic on base percentage and he can steal on about anyone. Boyer anchors down third and White is pretty strong at first. With Gibson on the mound any lineup is going to have a tough day and Jackson is no slouch as a starter either. With the Cards, it could be tough.

But for the love of pete Olesko, YOU are screwed up royally!!! The Mets? I mean how the hell did they make it to the playoffs? I don't think they had a pitcher with a winning record or an ERA below 4.00!!! And sweet jumpin' Jesus, if your strongest players are Marv Throneberry or maybe Richie Ashburn...........Marv Throneberry?????? C'mon......

Yeah, if Kaline and Colavito get their hits and can negate the speed and power of Gibson then maybe it's an AL year. But "The Man" and the Cards can never be counted out. Flood's base thievery could take a toll on Tiger pitching.
