How every Michigander feels right now.
There is a no more succinct way of talking about the game I do not want to discuss ever again than this video (sorry Deadspin… guess I also could have chosen this song from everybody’s favorite Detroit band… the Twins pulled the plug on the party, damnit!).
I smoked about a quarter of a pack of American Spirits in the time it took this game to end. I almost died about three times due to heart failure. I gave up on the game in the tenth inning after the dumbest outfield play I have ever seen. I stumbled upon the game on the radio in the car two minutes later. I almost died again, but this time of sheer joy and relief.
I tuned back in. I heard the Tigers load the bases, and screw up. The Twins win was anticlimactic.
After that entire night of pain (I definitely gnawed on my own hand) that final stab of the dagger just didn’t hurt anymore.
I hope the Yankees sweep them and we never have to see the Metrodome and those damn Hankies ever again.

You’re going about this all wrong. Don’t sulk. Go over to Raburn’s house and burn that shit down.
– May have been the worst play I’ve ever seen if I hadn’t been watching ManRam patrol left field for the last decade.
