no matter what happens next year, the city needed to be reminded how fun baseball is and we got that reminder..like spoon said..i would have laughed if i was told that id still be watching baseball in late october. free agency is gonna hurt the tigers but i hope to god they are smart enough to sign some players...the nice thing about having Illitch as a team owner is that when he wants he will do what it takes to build a good team..redwings are a perfect example. hopefully with renewed intrest in baseball the team will get what they need to stay together.
