For 105 games, they played well. They were 61-44. They learned, or were reminded, that winning begets winning. There are two arguments I've heard about this Tigers team that need addressing. Good teams don't run out of gas.
Teams playing over their head do.
As Garner said last week in Chicago, winning should never be exhausting. It's losing that's tiring. Brad Ausmus is the team's realist. While others were saying the media should apologize for earlier critcisms when the Tigers finally climbed above .500, Ausmus never took part in such foolishness. Never mind why the Tigers might finish under .500 again.
