Just the opposite for me. BoSox fans are orders of magnitude more annoying than Yankees fans, and Boston has has done more to hurt the Tigers in this century than NYY has.
Bummed I couldn't follow this game live, what with being at work in Texas and all, so I look forward to enjoying a post-work beer and reading this thread when I get home.
I'm happy they made the playoffs, and pissed that they gave away a first round bye. With that said, they were great in June, terrible in July, great in August, terrible in September, so... October?
Wait, you mean to tell me that Ben Johnson didn't invent conditioning a defense to expect a particular thing from a particular set by running it multiple times, then doing something different out of the same set later? My entire worldview is shattered...
So this thing is happening, isn't it? The thing that the Twins did last year is currently happening to the Tigers, and they're gonna miss the playoffs after leading the majors for over half the season, aren't they?
Damn.
