Game was a microcosm of the 2nd half of the season. Skubal dominates, all the bats do nothing (except for Kerry), Tigers pen hangs on by a thread and escapes miscues, Tigers bats still do nothing even with runners in scoring position, and eventually the game is blown

It’s the 859th inning. I no longer recognize myself. I am convinced that I am living in a simulation. T-Mobile park is crumbling. Javy Baez retired in the 802nd inning. AJ Hinch died of natural causes in the 827th.

Werner Herzog is filming a documentary about my life. I beg him to kill me.

It’s the 437th inning of game 5 of the ALDS. I now have a big bushy beard. I have been fired from my job. My family has abandoned me. The Tigers have loaded the bases with no outs for 32 consecutive innings but have not scored a single run.

AJ Hinch's inner chaos demon is going nuts at this point. We are 11 minutes from Jake Rogers warming up in the pen.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Y’know in retrospect this has been a deeply informative experience for why I am the way I am.
