I have become so used to either the excitement of unsurpassable leads coming early in games, or of defiant and unexpected comebacks occurring at the end, that anything outside these extremes seems tepid.

These expectations are hard to sustain over a 162 game season of ups and downs, of boredom, and loss.

I’m not sure how closely I’ll follow this game given that it’s blacked out on TV for me. Hoping for the best, I’ll probably peek at my phone on occasion and show up on this thread because I’m like the old man in the Monty Python movie who protests being tossed on the plague death cart saying “I’m not dead yet I don’t want to go on the cart. I’m getting better, I want to go for a walk, I feel happy…”

162 is a grind.  Don’t get too high.  Don’t get too low.  A 4 game losing streak is better than shoveling 4 inches of snow.  Stay thirsty, my friends.

It's only a 3 game losing streak right now. The Tigers are one of only a few teams who haven't lost 4 in a row all season.

Have a feelin' Tiger's will crush it today. But they are reelin' with the pitching. I'm glad they built a huge lead and have a long time to try to mend tgings until Play-Off time.
