The hole is deep. The light is scarce. Hope is a four-letter word. The Detroit Tigers have hit bottom as an organization, right? At least offensively that seems certain.

The Tigers dropped a pair in Chicago on Thursday in typical non-threatening fashion to maintain the steady drumbeat of woeful offensive displays and bullpen failures. White Sox hurlers Carlos Rodon and Dylan Cease were dominant but dominating this Detroit Tigers offense is a low bar to cross.
