Imagine, we could be trudging down the same path as the Tigers without the budget. Sub in Paul Beeston for Illitch and in a year or two we'll have the same situation. No farm, a bloated payroll, aged team. And when Illitch & Beeston are gone, things will definitely be different and there'll be a dry spell for atleast a half decade for both teams.
I know I'm itching for a continued stretch of shittyness.
