CONGRATS DETROIT!
Hard to believe, but this is the first time the Tigers have been .500 for a season since 1993. (81-45 at the moment*)
That's 13 years.
More amazing is that we haven't even sniffed the concept of .500 since 2000, when I was a lowly intern at The Detroit News. So many Halters and Higgies and JuanGons.**
Perhaps even more amazing is the fact that I just downed a celebratory "Strawberry Blonde" at Cold Stone Creamery (Gotta Have It-sized, obvs) while eating half off the Beckster's "Birthday Cake Remix" (Love It-sized in waffle bowl).
*I've waited my entire adult life to say this: "The Detroit Tigers' Magic Number is..."

It's 30. It's 30 with 36 to go.

. . . and don't forget your Dean Palmers and Robert Ficks.
