32-27

Pictured: A couple of Texas harlots futilely trying to hold Brennan Boesch back from fulfilling his destiny. Also, check out that kid in the background, all "Oh shit, I surrender. This is fucked up, yo." What does that last part have to do with either baseball or my beloved Detroit Tigers? Maybe nothing. Or perhaps maybe everything. Who's to say in these strange and terrible times? In any event, I'm guessing that the kid is a Rangers fan, so to hell with him. No mercy for the wicked, fellas. No mercy.

  2. Yeah, I am starting to believe this is a distinct possibility. However, I will note that I have felt this way at various points in the season every year since 2006, and since then, you know how many division titles my dudes have, Kendall? Zero.

    Yeah.

    2006 - World Series appearance after starting, like, 34-14, then fading down the stretch before stealing the Wild Card & embarrassing the Yankees & Joe DiMagglio's walk-off game ACLS winner. Comedy of errors in bewildering World Series loss to the Cardinals ensued.

    2007 - First place for much of the season, played so well that they were considered a mortal lock for the playoffs before blowing it down the stretch. Missed the playoffs.

    2008 - The infamous OH SHIT WE'RE GONNA BE BETTER THAN THE '27 YANKEES season which ended in tears of unfathomable sadness. Also, hella death images.

    2009 - Honestly, didn't look that good, but managed to hang onto first place from May all the way to the last day of season when they lost to the fucking Twins in an abominable game that is making me angry just thinking about it.

    2010 - Hung in there all season, managed to sneak into first place for a while, faded down the stretch, blah blah blah

    2011 - ???
