Everything is Terrible?

TERRIBLE:
The Tigers are down 0-2 in the World Series.  Fielder is trying (and failing), Fister is getting beamed in the head and still throwing a 2 hit shutout with no run support (big surprise), Verlander is thinking about T.G.I.F. Fridays, Delmon Young is trying to throw baseballs all the way to the core of the earth instead of to home plate and our best hitter is the guy who can manage to not strike out, aka no one..  On the other hand, the SF Giants continue to trot out amazingly terrible pitchers who pitch NO NO’s and hit RBI’s while their hitters wouldn’t dare let a ball or strike not be fouled off or hit into some kind of magical location causing our defense to either stare at it with confusion or watch it bounce of a base or someones head and lead to a run or two.

NOT TERRIBLE:
Series is coming back to Detroit, where the Tigers are dominating during the post season.  Sanchez, Scherzer, Verlander.  Saturday, Sunday, Monday.  Fister would start Wednesday if the Tigers win two or three of those.  No need to panic, but we can all agree that currently, everything HAS BEEN terrible.

FIRE UP TIGERS

Goodnight, Sweet Prince

Brandon Inge - Minnesota Twins v Detroit Tigers

 

4/3/2001 – 4/26/2012

And so ends the reign of the longest-tenured Tiger.

He hit ok sometimes, he fielded pretty good usually, he played everywhere he was asked. In 2003, he batted .203 for a Tigers team that went 43-119 with a $37,000,000 payroll. In 2006, he was a serviceable 3B for a $64,000,000 World Series challenger – and today, it comes to an end, hitting .100 for the $132,000,000 Tigers.

He saw the bottom and saw the rise, but now the ride is done.

Here lies a baseball player.
