It's the Cardinals' Turn Mike DiPatri 11/10/06 It was not exactly the World Series everybody wanted to see this year, but it turned out to be a good one. The two teams with the best regular season records were not even there. The Yankees and the Mets tied for that record and most were expecting to see a subway series. However, it was not to be. | The Yankees went into the American League Division Series as very heavy favorites. The Tigers, though, reached back and found something extra to prove that "underdog" thing was really wrong. They lost the first game, but then swept the next three. Their pitchers were able to completely bewilder the Yankees hitters. After that, it was clear that they would win the pennant. They swept the A's as expected. | |
