Pablo channeling Reggie ? ? ?

[Buzz]

The Tigers sweeping the Yankees to get to the series was enough good for the sake of Detroit... :-)

Pablo falls somewhere between Barry Bonds and Vladimir Guerrero, probably more the latter in terms of lack of plate discipline, but like both those guys he can hit pretty much any pitch in any location awfully hard.

He had a tough year health-wise and had a long homer-less streak after coming back from surgery on his hand. Glad it's coming together for him now, especially after he contributed next to nothing during the Giants' 2010 postseason run. Actually, it was pretty great seeing Pablo and Barry Zito, the two 2010 outcasts, sitting at the press table last night, the two big heroes of Game 1.

Bruce Bochy and Tim Flannery were players on the Padres the last time Detroit won a World Series (against San Diego - 1984). You can bet they are not going to let this happen to them twice… especially now that they have more control over the situation.
