the Tigers are driving me nuts this year

The Detroit Tigers are driving me nuts this year.

They have been so inconsistent.

This week they swept the Yankees in New York for the first time since 1966 and then they go to Minneapolis and get swept by the Twinkies. Obviously, it was a lot more important to beat up the Twinkies, as they are in our division. To make it worse, in this afternoon's game, they scored six runs in the first freaking inning, then phoned in for the rest of the game, and let the Twinkies come back and win the game 7-6.

I was a baby the last time they swept the Yankees in New York.

Objects of daily life that did not exist (or barely existed) in 1966:

pocket calculators

cell phones

cd's

VHS

DVD's

debit cards

home computers

Internet

cable TV

satellite TV

microwave ovens

And then they turn around and let themselves be swept by the Twinkies?????
