Well, the Detroit Tigers lost the second game of a twin bill to the Mets yesterday, 2-1. They were the last undefeated team in MLB to fall this year and are now five wins against that one loss. So it goes. The Tigers weren't going to go 162-0 anyway.
After six road games Detroit is now home for Opening Day against the A's. I'm not sure we can call them Oakland, now that they're heading to Sacramento for three, or four, or who really knows how many seasons. But that's another question for another day.
Baseball owns Opening Day. For lo, the winter is past. Spring is here and all is new. Baseball opens us up to summer. Sure, football is trying to horn in with the UFL. Let the 12 people who watch that have their fun. We know the real national pastime, and it begins again this afternoon a little after 1 in the D. I intend to catch it.
