Look, we understand: It’s been 155 games, and you really weren’t expecting the Detroit Tigers’ season to last this long.
Last year’s run was just 60 games — well, it was supposed to be, but the Tigers only got to 58 before MLB told them to quit showing up.
And before that? In 2019, the Tigers were 16½ games back by Memorial Day, leaving plenty of time in September to pay attention to the Spartans and Wolverines and Pistons and Red Wings and, yes, even the Lions, should you have a taste for that Honolulu Blue-flavored weekly self-immolation.
