Who loses their job other than the two already gone?
What does this organization focus on in the draft?
Who from the Toledo faithful will be back in 2009?

For the fans sake, I hope not. What a pathetic display of a so-called baseball team. 4 walks, 3 wild pitches and a Grand Slam, all in the same inning (that's all I could stomach)! They should truly be EMBARRASSED! I was embarrassed for all you Tiger fans! YUCK!! Is that the kind of Baseball you poor Tiger fans were forced to watch all year? For the fans sake, I hope not.

Mr. Millen, as many of you may recall, was the infamous Detroit Lions GM until last week when the Lions organization seemed a bit upset w/his 31-83 record since 2001. Mr. Millen will strongly consider the GM position if he A) Is able to bring Joey Harrington into the starting rotation as Matt feels he has a calling as an ace, and B)He is awarded four titles, one greater than Mr. Dombrowski. When interviewed today, Mr. Millen said that he is completely confident that he will be able to get the Tigers to at least 5 games below 500 and fourth place in the AL central in 2009.

I'm just disappointed that Tigers couldn't force the Sox deep into their pen in order to force them to deplete their staff.

And ask yourself what is sillier, expecting offensive explosions of 8-10 runs a game, or consistent pitching which doesn't walk 6-8 hitters a game and get behind on 65-70% of the counts?

If the team could score ten runs a game, horrendous pitching would be irrelevant. Obviously, such would be an unrealistic expectation, and obviously, this team needs better pitching, but to say "it's ALL about pitching" (my emphasis) is ridiculous. And it’s still a silly argument.
