Just because it may have been a bad move doesn't mean it was a dick move. The manager's job is to help his team win games, not worry about an opponent's milestone. Besides, It's not like it's the last game of the year at the end of his contract. He's got two years to reach 3,000 hits! Tigers fans get to watch another fun game tomorrow. As Sportsfreak mentioned earlier, I bet Ilitch is thrilled that the he didn't reach 3,000 today.
