By this point, with approximately 100 games down and 62 or so to go — don’t forget about the Detroit Tigers’ suspended game against the Athletics from May, scheduled to be finished up in Oakland in September — we know one thing about the Tigers: They are bad.

Wait, wait, where are you going?

OK, they may not be “119-loss bad” — though they still need 14 wins to avoid that ignominious milestone — they seem likely to lose well over 100 games, and possibly 110 or more.
