Now that there is, perhaps, a crack in the dark cloud that has hovered over the Tigers the past couple weeks, and some of the hysteria has calmed — even if temporarily — maybe we can see some things more clearly.
And by more clearly, we mean not swathed in abject negativity.
Nobody is saying it hasn’t been rough. Nobody is happy or satisfied being nine games under .500 and being only a half-step better than the last place team in the division (White Sox).
Nobody is giving away pardons.
But if you let yourself see it, there’s some sunshine on the horizon.
