Once again the Tigers blew another ALDS series.
They were beaten by the Mariners in Game 5 of the ALDS.
The score after 15 innings was 3 - 2.
What many thought would be an easy victory turned into another reason why the Tigers can’t seem to progress.
I just don't get it.
How can a team that had a great season and a favorite to win the AL wind up blowing it.
What went wrong?
Is this any way to be a winning team, by letting diwn and dashing the hopes of Tigers fans.
I'm well aware that the team still needs to clean up their messes.
I also know that we made some bad moves in games and crapped out in the second half of the season.
How can a team that had one of the best records in the AL, blow it after the All Star break.
We can never go back to having losing seasons or blowing leads like game 5.
There's no reason for it.
Fans deserve much better than this.
Ok, I admit getting Cy young award winner Tim Skubal and Jack Flaherty back is a step in the right direction.
I'll also admit that the baseball season is a marathon, not a sprint.
I'll also admit that AJ. Hinch's no Sparky Anderson or Jim Leyland.
He's also not Alan Trammel who led the Tigers to their worst season in 2003
Is it the Tigers fate, that they wind up losing.
If the Tigers don't learn from their mistakes next season, tighten up their defense, they can kiss their chances of winning the AL good bye.
Hopefully it won’t be decades before we can call ourselves World Series champs!
