My grandma is 83 years old, but she watches virtually every Tigers game and is as passionate as anyone about the team. I received a letter from her today detailing some of the ways she feels the Tigers can improve for next year.

Our Tigers sure fell apart at the last; they acted like they were tired-out.

I have the solutions: Get rid of Inge, Guillen, Maggs and Penny. Santiago and that tall guy (I can't think of his name -- that happens when you're 83) should get to play more. They should put Jackson and a good batting coach in isolation together for 1 mo. Give Alex A. a raise and a medal. If ever a ballplayer deserves it, he does.

You probably have all different ideas, but I think we'd agree on one thing. The play of the year -- Jackson's strike to the plate to get someone out. Go Tigers!
