They did choke the game away before that in the 9th, but the Orioles didn't tag up for no good reason.
Either way, the Tigers are not a very good team and two of these AL Central mediocre teams have to end up making it given how bad the AL is. The Royals are still the odds-on favorite to do so right now despite you abandoning them. [Reply]

Actually I think its one of the biggest turnarounds in MLB history, but yeah, I get the disappointment in squandering this starting pitching and a Bobby MVP caliber season...
...but as a reminder we lost 106 games last season [Reply]

Not even close even if it happened.
The 1987 Toronto Blue Jays season was the franchise's 11th season of Major League Baseball. It resulted in the Blue Jays finishing second in the American League East with a record of 96 wins and 66 losses. They had been in first place by 3½ games over the Detroit Tigers with a week left to play, but they dropped their next seven games in a row, capped off by a sweep at the hands of Detroit at Tiger Stadium on the last weekend of the season, and lost the division by two games.

You abandoned your ass team 2 months into the season after they got embarrassed by the Royals.
