Speaking of ice cream, that’s really how this playoff appearance feels to me. A lot of people are mad at how the Tigers make the playoffs, which I have trouble truly understanding, since we are one of only 12 teams even in it no matter how we got there. (My buddy the diehard Mets fan knows what I mean.) But I will say that the way we got there has made me realize how precious it is to even have a chance in the dance. It almost completely slipped away from us, but by the grace of 1,000 gods, here we are. It’s another thing to appreciate just being able to have. Win or lose, I’m thrilled we’re playing today.
