The gaps between the lows and the highs with this team are excruciating. The lows cut deeper and the highs are more stratospheric because I’m a lot more invested. I’ve bought into this team this year more than I have with any team in the last many years. A big part of it is that these guys are grown and raised on our own farms which are now showing promise instead of disappointment. The youthful exuberance of the team is just infectious.
It was great during Tigers Live how Johnny Kane thought he was off camera and was joshing excitedly with Briske and saying “test test..” not his fault the production people’s fault but it was fun.
I love these compressed camera shots that make it look like it’s raining 12 times as hard as it really is and you think Noah should be building an ark.
Red Sox get a third strike rung up and it probably was a ball, so now they go to the bottom of the 11th and the Red Sox have a chance to strike out three more times I guess. They’ve already struck out 17 times tonight.
And they choke. One guy thrown out at home then with runners on second and third and two outs and they strike out. It’s nice to see other teams choke and suck. I never watch other teams. It happens a lot more often. It doesn’t only happen to us.
