Thanks, everyone. Although it can be frustrating during gametime, it sure is great being a Tigers fan!

If Jones is lights out rest of the season, he needs to be signed for next season

• Nate Robertson, $17 million through 2010.

I'd have to check the updated rankings, but as recently as a couple days ago, Nate Robertson had the worst ERA in the AL and we're paying him that much

Nate is worth every penny

those guys will NEVER stop writing BS, its all they know!!

I work for a company about the size of Little Caesars. I can tell you from experience that Leyland is on the hot seat - as well as Dombrowski. Jones will be gone. Nate, too...but I'd like to see him in the bullpen. Many more will be shown the door. I think Mr. Illitch will make Dave do anything in his power to shed Sheffield, as well. Rogers may retire, and I would re-hire him as a pitching coach...but he will surely test the waters before any of that happens.

I think Illitch will operate from the standpoint that his MudHens call ups could get him 4 games under .500, so why pay out the big clams? He will anticipate the lower ticket sales for next year and cut as much fat as possible. Some of our favorites may be gone next year...but they brought it upon themselves. As a CEO, when you spend that kind of cash, you expect some level of return.

McWelcome!! I always enjoy your comments on the other board. you are right though....all the good people are over here!!
