The Detroit Drought

The City of Detroit is in the midst of one of their longest title droughts. Everything Wings, Tigers, Pistons, and Lions.

The longest drought in Detroit sports history was 16 years between the Tigers last two WS wins (‘68-‘84). Today we are sadly 14 years and counting (Red Wings ‘08) into a championship drought. Who will be the team to end the drought? #RedWings #Tigers #Pistons #Lions

@TigersJUK Baddoo is a putrid OF. He needs to go

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

@TigersJUK 21 Jed, 21 hrs with 40+ games remaining. He will be 24 by year end. Eat crow

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

@TigersJUK Damn.. tough look for the drought

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

@Castellani2014 Nice revisionist history lesson. Super insightful.

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

@TigersJUK Or that’s the team that adequately executed a rebuild and made quality FA signings… sometimes I feel like you just whine to whine. Your fandom would be best elsewhere

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

@Connormuldowney Ah yes, how I’ve missed the moral superiority. How dare anyone have an objective thought without being a piece of shit. Pound sand you smug turd.

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

Torkelson is so underrated. 23-years old and less than 2 full szns in the mlb and already has an elite barrel rate. Shame on so many fans (especially @TigersJUK ) for declaring him a bust so early. Guy is just scratching the surface

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

@TigersJUK He should’ve been transitioned to a back end BP guy after TJ. Dude always gets hurt and I don’t see him being able to endure a szn as a SP. Has a very good slider and good FB that would be a great mix for a BP slot

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

@TigersJUK I think there is more angst via the opportunity cost. This team & farm was barren of INF while having a bevy of young pitching and now both Mayer & Lawler are top-10 prospects in baseball. Less about jobe, more about what we passed on for jobe

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

@inktown123 @blessyouboys Agreed. Lots of money ball esque additions going under appreciated due to the dismal division. Only fools what sacrifice the future to get thumped in the 1st rd

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

@blessyouboys Just don’t agree with an emotional take aimed at the competence of the new president following a rain delayed shalacking v. The third highest payroll in MLB. Let’s deploy some logic here and tally judgement at year end. Deadline acq. Will be huge. Team has overachieved thus far

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

@blessyouboys You’re acting as if this was your sole Harris critique.. you all started shitting on Harris for him moving in the fences back in January! Again, think about what resources were made available to him and what he inherited before over reacting and crying about moves in year 1

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

@blessyouboys Not to mention the plan was for vierling to play more INF, but with meadows out all year things changed but I’m guessing you’ll blame SH for that too. Boyd’s deal didn’t work out but no one bats 1000. Give the dude a fucking chance

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

@blessyouboys With limited to no resources, SH got mckinstry for a bag of balls, Ibanez for minor league $, capitalized on flipping joe & Soto for vierling & JHM, lorenzen having the best szn of his career, etc. you wanna cry about a rule 5, Schoop n Maton? Seriously? With this team n farm?

@DumasMike You got over your ski tips a lil too easy lil boy

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

@DumasMike Lol you don’t know your ass from your elbow

[The Detroit Drought @DetroitDrought]

@DumasMike Killian is the only dud and he made moves to get the other two firsts. You lack practical thinking skills
