We knew the Detroit Tigers would come back to Earth after a, well, Astro-nomical three-game sweep of Houston. (Of course, we didn’t know they were going to sweep in the first place, because if we had, we would probably not be allowed inside any of the sportsbooks in downtown Detroit anymore.)
But a brutal four-game sweep by the Oakland A’s? The only difference between that series and a montage from “Moneyball” was that Bally Sports Detroit didn’t keep cutting to Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill celebrating.
But, just like we haven’t popped “Moneyball” into the Honolulu-Blu-Ray player here in the Newsletter-Cave in a good long while, we’re not going to look back at that series too much.
