Oh no.  The Tigers lost.

It can’t be.

We are all sad here in Michigan…The Tigers blew their chance, spoiled our hopes and dreams.  The weather has been cold, rainy, and gloomy every day for the past three weeks.  Winter is around the corner.  Our economy sucks.  We are all doomed. 

What do we do? 

Well, maybe I’m overreacting.  Lemme throw on some Marvin Holmes, listen to some funky upbeat music. 

The Tigs had an awesome season.  The sun’ll come out eventually.  Winter’s not that bad.  The economy is overrated.  We’ve still got the Pistons starting the season, Michigan vs Ohio State, Halloween parties tonight, the Lions…

Ahh, Lions.  I forgot about you guys.

We don’t even want to hang with you on Sundays anymore.  We’d rather fix the damn toilet. 

The music isn’t working anymore.  The feeling is back.

I take the record off.

Goddamn those Tigers!  I can’t believe they lost!  Get rid of Inge.  What happened to Polanco and Granderson?  And how can Verlander throw a pitch an inch of where he wants it every time, but CAN”T MAKE A SIMPLE THROW TO THIRD BASE??? 

How can the Tigers be so good up to the World Series and then all of a sudden play like a scared high school team?

Ahh, Tigers, we still love you.  Hats off to a great season.  We’ll just have to remember Maggs’ homerun.  You’ll get ‘em next years boys.

 

But still, it is a sad today in Michigan.
