Detroit, the city that is, cannot catch a break.
Their Tigers, a balanced team with fine starting pitching and a lot of thunder in their lineup, was just swept by San Francisco in the World Series. No one predicted such a rapid, ignominious exit. The win gives the NL its third straight WS championship and the Giants' their second in three years. San Francisco isn't really such a great club but in this era there are no great teams only good ones cobbled together. Of course the other factor is the history of nobodies, has-beens, never-weres and flashes-in-the-pan rising to the occasion on the biggest stage.

If you had an employee who publicly blamed himself for a series of poor performances, what would you do? If your foreman announced to all the world he hadn't done a good job preparing his workers for the tasks at hand, what would you do a his boss?
If your COO assumed responsibility for poor production time and again, changed some of the managers immediately beneath him in a desperate step to achieve positive results, vowed to set things right immediately and still failed miserably week after week, would you sit by idly?

Anyone seen Andrew Bynum?
