I used to laugh at my grandpa when I was a kid because he told me every year how he’d spent his entire life as a Cubs fan without seeing them win it all.
Now I feel like I may have cursed us, and I’ll also be 88 before we win another World Series.

We’re gonna get there one day
I need one before my dad dies. That’s all I care about.
If you’re a millennial Tigers fan, you probably didn’t get to experience the 1984 Tigers or Trammell/Whitaker/Kirk Gibson era. The Tigers during your lifetime have been garbage from the 1990s to 2005 (including the historically awful 2003 team), exciting and competitive from 2006-2016, then abysmal garbage again until the second half of 2024.
As a ‘95 born life long Tiger, this hit me right in the ouch.
Biggest rip to ever rip man
Also, losing with a world class pitcher that couldn’t get run support
Different reasons each time though.

Besides, it’s hockey season now. And the spirit of the octopus will continue to curse the Red Wings. For all we know 2026-2030 will be the 1998-2001 NY Yankees. I could come up with a numerological reason for this, but it’s late, and been a long day.
I was born a month after the ’84 World Series. To have it be that close to winning one in my lifetime and then to get there two other times and not win it… Fuck I am cursed.
You missed Game 163, that shit pissed me off.
Time to become a man.
