Worst. Sunday. Ever.

It's weird, I should be alot more upset now than I am. Maybe it's the anti-depressants kicking in. But I still have to comment on what was a disastrous day.

Early on, everything was fine. It was probably one of the last nice days of the year. The Tigers had jumped out to a big lead and I was doing alright in my main fantasy league. The only thing I was bummed about was my friend Chris shooting down going to the game a few days earlier and costing us a chance to witness the Tigers clinch in person. Then, the Tigers imploded while my opponent (who's apartment I was at) got a flurry of points to take a lead. Everything came crashing down. It was a flurry of channel-switching and cell-phone checking. Then the Lions choke job and the realization that not starting Maroney cost me a possible victory. I texted (is that a word?) my Chris and thanked him for not wanting to go to the game and mentioned how much I hate the state of Missouri.

Let's start with the Tigers. How the hell do you get swept at home by Kansas City? All they needed was one win. Minnesota was basically handing the series to the Tigers and they couldn't take it. And now those puds get to celebrate after backing into a division title. Multiple blown leads, poor clutch hitting and just horrendous pitching against guys who should be in the minors. It's not exactly Mauchian, but this has got to be one of the bigger choke jobs in recent baseball history. The Tigers are a laughingstock right now. And if you though Kansas City worked them over, just imagine what the Yankees lineup is going to do. It's just a shame, a season with so much promise to end like this, with boos instead of champagne. All year, there have doubters, people saying these Tigers were frauds. You think those people have alot of ammo now? Yes. And the fact that they could be done in by the Yankees makes it even worse. I really fucking hate the Yankees.

As for the Lions, I really past the point of letting their shit bother me. But it would be nice, if for only once, they could actually pull out a gutty, hard-fought win on the road. But even when they were ahead, I knew, like I always do, that they would blow it. And they did. They have to be the most predictable team in the NFL. You always know that in a close game, with the lead, they're going to let the other team drive down the field for the lead and then fail miserably in the two minute drill. It never fails, except against New Orleans last year which cost them REGGIE FUCKING BUSH!!! See, even when this team does succeed, it still ends up going wrong. The one time they actually drove down the field for a last second win, like real NFL teams do, it cost them the second overall pick. God, I fucking hate this team. I probably shouldn't have wrote all this, because now I am pissed.
