Hard to imagine what Jays fans are going through.  They almost won that game a handful of times—they will likely play back the plays that got away for a long time.

At least when we lost in ‘06 and ‘12, we played pretty bad throughout.  The closest game I can think of as a Tigers fan was Game 163.

I think the only comparable in Detroit sports is the 1988 Pistons one win away from their first NBA championship and being up 3 with 1:00 to go, up 1 with the ball with 30 seconds to go, and up 1 with Kareem about to shoot with 15 seconds to to. But that was on the road and overcoming a point or two in basketball is easier than a run in baseball. Then there the 2008 Wings who were 34 seconds away from a Cup, but they had won one just 6 years earlier and they finished the job on their second chance in ‘08 a couple of nights later.

Faedo dfa'd by Rays. I wasn't aware he was injured most of 2025

If we’re opening it up to other Detroit teams, the Josh Reynolds drop in the NFC Championship is up there.

I hope he saved his money and invested wisely. He's gonna need it.

Love the candid insight from Rojas as to what was going through his mind as the 9th inning play at the plate unfolded.
