Want proof? Look at what happened within 3 hours tonight...and weep.
1. Ernie Harwell, quite possibly the nicest man on planet earth and one of the best, if not THE BEST, play by play man in baseball history, passes away. The voice of baseball for millions of fans is no longer with us.
2. The Tigers tie their game against the Twins in the top of the 9th when Brennan Boesch hits a home run...which was last seen headed towards Canada. But it's never meant to be for the Tigers in Minnesota, where soul crushing losses are commonplace. The Twins win in the bottom of the 9th on a triple and wild pitch.
3. The Red Wings take a 3-1 lead in their playoff game over the San Jose Sharks. They have a goal disallowed and Henrik Zetterberg is robbed on a penalty shot. The Red Wings end up losing 4-3 in a soul crushing OT. The series is all but over, with the Wings down 3-0.
Then feel free to add in the following...
The Pistons are 7th overall in the NBA draft lottery with a shot at drafting a stiff big man who will 2-3 seasons away from (maybe) being NBA ready.
Wolverines football blows, something I'm still trying to come to grips with...
Jim Leyland can no longer enjoy his beloved Marlboro Reds anywhere inside Comerica Park.
The Lions are...well, the Lions.
I could go on...and on and on and on...but it'd be too depressing. The local sports landscape hasn't been this bad since the 70's. Even then, I can never remember a night quite as awful as the one we just suffered through.
What did the people of Detroit do to cause the sports Gods to piss all over us?
I don't have an answer. I don't think anyone does.
But when you have nights like this, when bad piles on top of suck, it sure does make you wonder...
"Worst sports night ever. Rest assured I was on the internet within minutes registering my disgust throughout the world..."
