I pretty much quit watching when the Tigers were eliminated. Royals and their fans are a pretty classy bunch and I wish them much luck. They gave the Tigers a great battle for the division title.

Personally I expected the Orioles to go to the big show.

Illich: "...another $163 million payroll spent...and all I got was another lousy(central division)T-shirt?"

Dombrowski: "Um, I...Look, If We Built This Large Wooden($300 million payroll)Badger ..."

Dombrowski has only showed he can bring high-priced talent players to Detroit...shame he doesn't know how to build a team(that said...Go Royals!)

With Verlander, Cabrera showing their wear in the twilight of their careers(but with years left on their huge contracts), look for the Tigers to fall back into a "watch them earn their stripes" type of decades long slumber...especially since the Illich family will not likely be so generous with dishing out big contracts in the future(assuming they still own the team).

Time to build talent from within, even though Dombrowski depleted their farm system trying to fill holes on his "team of stars and scrubs", their long-term big-dollar stars still have some trade value...I say use it or lose it.

...the "spend like the Yankees" formula failed...time to purge and move on(that includes Dombrowski).
