Doctor? The patient might have a pulse. (If Miguel Cabrera didn't just pull the plug with that double-play groundout.)

almost at the end of the season, anyway
Not much baseball left. Even if it’s bad, still not much time before the offseason.

That is one thing I really love about the Tigers board, those crazy fucking pictures after wins.

Hopefully we won't need it (or maybe we should hope for it)
but if we have to play a playoff game with Minny, would it be Monday or Tuesday and at what time?

Well, here’s how. The baseball gods somehow allow us to win tomorrow. Then, to further punish us for whatever horrible misdeed we’ve done to deserve this bullshit, they send us back to that hellhole in minneapolis to meet our demise.

I've done a lot of research on this.
And I have found that no matter who is pitching, you generally don’t win many games when you score zero runs.

I'd take the Lions not winning another game for five years if it meant the Tigers win the Central this year
I’d make that deal without question. Then again, I’m not a Lions fan.

Poor Lions
On the other hand, if you have to lose horribly, you might as well make it an epic loss.
It’s sort of like when you go see a bad movie. If it’s just bad, you don’t enjoy it. But if the movie is so bad that it’s funny, then you enjoy it.
