I don’t know where you are as you read this, but around the Great Lakes, the Labo(u)r Day weekend is the unofficial end of summer. A few leaves are starting to turn colour, there’s a pleasant coolness in the air from time to time, and the cicadas are in full throat. Or buzz. Or whatever they’re doing, what am I, an entomologist?
At any rate, it’s been quite a while since there’s been a buzz by anything other than cicadas around Comerica Park as September approaches, but here we are: the Tigers are actually in the hunt for a Wild Card.
