Makenna and I watched in utter joy as the Detroit Tigers won for the first time this season. Sure we had to deal with Jonesy loading the bases before we got to place our first mark in the win column.  Seven straight losses was hard to stomach, but it’s in the past now and we can move on. And frankly, I don’t want to talk or hear about it again.

Side note – I watched sports coverage of all three of our local sportscasts and “Tigers Live” after the ball game. Every idiot sportscaster had to make the same stupid “eight is enough” joke. Very clever guys.
