How many innings must Verlander pitch
to have them destroyed by the pen?
How many times must Miggy get on
to be left on the base by Upton?
How many weeks before Ausmus is canned–
that’s not an “if”, that’s a “when”
The answer, my friend, is 2017
When the Tigers will be sucking in the wind
How many balls will Martinez misjudge
and watch as they roll to the wall?
How many years will poor V-Mart DH
as his trot slows down to a crawl?
How many years must fans grumble and wince
before this team wins in the fall?
The answer, my friend, is 2017
When the Tigers will be sucking in the wind
🙂 Great! (Poor Tigers — they still wanna party like it was 1984.)
