Detroit — The Tigers have done more losing than any other team in baseball this season, and at their current pace, stand to lose 114 games.
There is no remedy for the misery that accompanies such disaster. In his 15th year as a MLB manager, Tigers skipper Ron Gardenhire certainly knows this.
“There is no substitute for winning,” Gardenhire said before Friday’s series-opening matchup with the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park.
But what he also knows, or at least what he thinks, is that there’s more to the story of Detroit’s season than a 45-107 record.
