After 19 years of silence, fans roar with playoff pride

People disgust me. First, it's just sports, so who cares. Second, the Tigers have sucked for years and no one gave a crap about them. I can see the new multi-million dollar stadium out my window at work and for years you couldn't even tell when there was a game because the place was always empty but now that they are good, suddenly the place is packed and people talk about how they love the Tigers. How pathetic! If you are were a true fan, for the past several years, fine, but the vast majority paid no attention AT ALL until the Tigers started winning. Now "fans" are coming out of the woodwork. The same thing happened with the Red Wings, they sucked for years and there wasn't a peep about them, then they won a few games and Detroit became "Hockeytown" Is there even a hockey team in Detroit now? Who knows, now that they are an average team and you never hear a peep about them. Part of me wants the Tigers to win so I can laugh as I watch the cars burn in the riot that is sure to follow a victory and part of me wants them to lose just so people will shut the hell up about it. Either way, I'll be much happier when it's over, the traffic has been horrible for each of the 264 million home games. I swear if there is another god damn victory parade, you will see me in a bell tower with a rifle. The last fucking Red Wing parade added over 4 hours to my commute, and I live less than 20 miles from work. There was over a million giant foam finger waving retards wandering around the city and 2/3 of the roads were closed, it was a nightmare! It really burns me up that I will have to take the day off or turn a 10 hour day into a 14+ hour day just so a bunch of fair weather fans can have a party. Don't even get me started on the fat idiot in the picture who looks like a reject from Cats, where was he 3 years ago?
