Detroit Tigers Links: Jhonny Peralta's value this season & Yu Darvish loses perfect game in 9th inning

"Only the rich people, or the stupid people, pay to see this team." Umm. Oh. OK?

You know what's really depressing about this? A baseball player in 1933 made more money than I do in 2013. I've failed in life.
