The Tigers fan stopped by RUB barbeque after the Tigers. He saw me sitting at the bar watching football and asked to take a photo.
I agreed.
“Wait,” his buddy said. “We can’t take that photo. Come on man.”
The guy was fighting back tears. That is how upset he was over the Tigers loss.
Later he explained: “The Tigers really screwed this up on Friday. But we all went to Comerica and we were behind them. When V-Mart hit that double and JD Martinez hit the double behind him we were jacked. But then the Tigers do what they do.”
Again he was near tears.
I ran into a bunch of upset and confused Tigers fans. They were upset with the 2-1 loss Sunday. But they were more upset with how manager Brad Ausmus fumbled Friday’s game by returning to bullpen parts that failed two days in a row.

I know. I cried hard going into the bottom of the ninth, just begging for this not to happen – and BAM, BAM, TWO DOUBLES! WE HAD IT AND ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD.
