It’s a good question, and I pose it because I wonder if more than 70 percent of fans out there, excluding that of a Detroit base, are pulling against this team. Truth is, I have nothing against the Tigers — I actually picked them to win the World Series — but watching streaks, especially ones that involve losing, can be quite fun. And now that the tournament is over, and since no one really pays attention to the NBA, what else do we have to root for?

It’s unlikely that the Tigers will go winless throughout the season, but after today’s loss to the Red Sox, and sitting at 0-7, it is possible. And that’s all we need: Hope and possibility. Just ask Kansas, who had only that, and still managed to win a National Championship (yes, the cheap jabs at Memphis will keep on coming).
