Tough.

We already knew that getting to the World Series would be hard for the Tigers. Now we know it will be hard for the Rangers, too. The Tigers just showed that you can hurt them physically and you can devastate them emotionally. But you cannot beat them easily. They won't allow it.

Now you have a series, and Detroit's autumn from heaven just got a little more exciting. The Lions, Michigan and Michigan State are a combined 15-1, the Tigers are three victories from the World Series, the weather is perfect, the leaves are gorgeous, the cider is delicious and Aretha Franklin just nailed the national anthem in her pajamas.

I'm thrilled the way we played. We're tough.
