Well it was an incredible streak, the likes of which we'll never see again.

I guess I'll be rooting for the Tigers the rest of the way.

The only Tiger I loathe is Hinch because of the 2019 World Series debacle and not shutting down the cheating.

A peaceful October will be strange.

Yeah, it sucks. Will be really weird not having 2-3 weeks of stressful nights pacing around my living room, refreshing Twitter. My liver will enjoy the break.

I gotta dig up my post from a few weeks back, but this was a disappointing, yet fitting end to a very mediocre season. We only made the playoffs due to being in a shit division. Aging, injury-riddled team that was more frustrating than fun to watch. Zero grand slams, terrible with bases loaded, terrible in extra innings, dropped something like 30 1-run games.

Just not a very exciting on-the-field product and a poor imitation of the quality we got spoiled watching for most of the past decade.

Ibanez had no chance against a well-placed slider given how keyed up he was to catch up with heat.  Too bad Hader was too afraid to throw it; I guess he was scared of another wild pitch.  Instead he just Farnsworth'd it middle-middle right into the kill zone.  Pathetic showing all around.

losing verlander, javier, garcia, urquidy, tucker and still winning 88 games was amazing
