Yes, this feels familiar.
Because we have already lived it.
Once with the Detroit Tigers.
A season of promise — poof — up in smoke after only a quarter of the season.
All the excitement — oh, no, he’s hurt, too? — slipping away. When you look at these two organizations, it's like a nightmare on an endless loop. Instead of wins and progress, we are left with frustration and disappointment. Instead of hope and relevance, we are left with backups and makeshift lineups.
When you dig into the Tigers and Lions’ seasons, it’s almost crazy how similar they have started.
