Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

October 18 in Tigers and mlb history:

2012: The Detroit Tigers complete a four-game sweep of the Yankees in the ALCS with an 8 - 1 win at home. The Tigers build a 6-0 lead after four innings, chasing CC Sabathia, as Max Scherzer cruises to the win. Delmon Young, who is named series MVP, drives in the winning run for the fourth straight game while the Tigers homer four times. The Yankees were thoroughly outplayed, never leading once in the four games, scoring only 6 runs and batting a mere .157.

Listening to sports radio right now, convo is about Tigers. Avila just spoke and said that no new payroll will be taken on and cuts/trades will be made. Speculation says JD is going bye bye, someone will take Upton's contract. Expect the complete rebuild next season.
