Anyone recall of worse World Series team than Detroit Tigers?

wow what a mess of a club.

royboy_3831 · Oct 27, 2006

week off killed them, totally out of sync, timing horrible at the plate... congrats cards fans

Good question and...no.

cdsmoney · Oct 27, 2006

Actually - I take my retraction back. As bad as they looked (and they did look bad), they at least took one game. Have to think some of those teams that were swept couldn't have looked any better. I remember the 1990 Reds (I think) smoking their opponent in 4 games

can't think of one. they were pathetic. five errors by their pitchers in five games. Huge. They stunk.

thanks tigers for the most boring world series in history

How about the Cardinals when they were swept by the Red Sox?

Highdaddy · Oct 27, 2006

padres getting swept by the yankees was pretty bad and boring

The question should be Anyone recall of worse World Series?
Dirt-gate, a rain-out, porous defense and Joe Buck.
Personally I'm glad it's over - Oh yeah, congrats St. Louis!!

The Tigers smoked whoever they played in the AL playoffs. I can't imagine if the WS would have been better if another team was in it from the AL. But the Tigers peaked too soon and their pitchers can't field a baseball.

Take NOTHING away from the cards, BUT the Tigers "threw" GAMES away!

VIEJODINOSAUR · Oct 27, 2006

Joelatti....you can say that again....

Journeyman · Oct 27, 2006

I still say the 04 Cards were much better, not taking anythign away from their accomplishment here..this was a really lame post season.

WildBill · Oct 28, 2006

Sean Casey proved to be the only guy who could hit in cold weather. Pretty brutal though, Tigers offense showed up all post season when the temperature was at least 60, but below it and they struggled to get over 3 runs.

The_Man · Oct 28, 2006

That was disappointing to come all that way and then just pay like garbage.

They didnt deserve to win playing like that and a surprise too see any club under Leyland play like that.

Everyone was waiting for the Tigers to collapse and it finally happened. Too damn bad it happened in the WS.

Slotech · Oct 28, 2006

I recall the 1984 Tigers were very special though.

There was some bettors who made so much off Detroit winning the pennant that the WS would have been icing on the cake. Suffice to say that Chip can buy a Maybach for everyone in his family with the profits.
