I didn’t believe the Detroit Tigers organization could display a greater degree of tone deafness than when they made the embarrassing decision to change their Facebook profile picture to a “We Own The Central” graphic just HOURS after the Kansas City Royals won the AL pennant last fall.

Well, I was proven wrong this evening when I almost vomited out my dinner while watching the Broncos/Colts game and this ad for Tigers 2015 season tickets came across my screen ……..

Are you effing kidding me with this crap? Who was the advertising genius behind this pitch reminding Tigers fans about all of the great individual achievements over the last four seasons with NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT!?!?!?

We’ve had two Cy Young winners; three MVPs; a pitching triple crown; a BATTING triple crown;18 All-Stars; and a no hitter!!!!!!!!

Great! Thanks for reiterating that with all of those great players, you have failed to win ONE World Series despite having every inherent advantage known to the sporting world.

And of course, they HAD to remind us the team has won back-to-back-to-back-to-back AL Central titles. They can’t help themselves.

Like, who cares? The team that finished SECOND in the AL Central in 2014 got a lot closer to winning a World Series than you have over the last decade. Hell, they didn’t even humiliate themselves by getting swept or getting crushed in five games.

How many times are we going to have to watch that commercial over the next few months during sporting events?

Hell, I’d rather watch a montage of David Ortiz’s grand slam; Shane Victorino’s grand slam; the bottom of the eighth inning of Game 2 at Camden Yards; and Buster Olney’s homer off Max Scherzer.

At least THAT wouldn’t insult my intelligence.
