But as far as the smaller market AL clubs go, they continue to make a good showing in the post season, and I'm glad to see the Tigers turned their piss poor franchise around in three years...I guess there is hope.

Good pitching still beats good hitting. That's always what they say, and that was proven again, even against the supposed "best lineup of all time". The Tigers pitching was awesome.
The Yankees teams back in the 90's that actually won had great pitching. Problem is, I do think baseball has leveled off enough that you don't see many big time pitchers hitting the market for them to scoop up. Last year AJ Burnett maybe the biggest name, and he's not that great. This year it'll probably be Zito, who is good, but he walks a ton of guys and probably isn't the guy he was 5 years ago. The Yankees have to make smarter pitching decisions than guys like Jaret Wright and Carl Pavano.
