In 1935, the Cardinals were the defending World Series champs, the Tigers lost Game 1 to the Cubs and won the World Series.

In 1945, the Cardinals were the defending World Series champs, the Tigers lost Game 1 to the Cubs and won the World Series.

In 1968, the Cardinals were the defending World Series champs, the Tigers lost Game 1 to the Cardinals and won the World Series.

It's 2012, the Cardinals are the defending World Series champs and the Tigers just lost Game 1 to the Giants.

Just saying.
