he came in with a three run lead and two guys on with four outs to go, what happens after that doesn’t change it.

I wish you’d actually follow through on what seems like periodic threats to never watch the Tigers again, so we wouldn’t have to suffer your incessant doom and gloom. The rest of us generate plenty enough angst on our own.
