Sure, you have to pity them somewhat, but it hurts.

1. I was delighted with their winning streak at the end of the season

The media were all set to descend on them like locusts and the team showed real character by preventing their own humiliation.

I really wanted them to break the record. They couldn't even do that right!

3. Just one more and they could have hit 120! What a shame!

But 140 would have been better.

Or 162: a perfect season.

But I really don't care how they did.

5. Lifelong Tiger fan here

My buddy Mike B and I were at the Saturday night game (Sept 27) when the Tigs came back from an 8-0 deficit, scoring one in the fifth, three in the seventh, four in the eighth and one in the ninth (on a walk, steal, steal and wild pitch) to beat the Twins 9-8. The kids (Detroit is the youngest team in the majors) could've rolled over and played dead -- but they showed heart and have something positive to remember through the off-season.
Disappointed? Not me -- I'd be a Tiger fan if they lost 162 games.

Tiger baseball is a birthright in Michigan.
