Red Sox vs. Tigers Game 4: Enter Fister

The Tigers blew a 5-1 lead to Boston in Game 2 thanks to the continued magic of David Ortiz, and then followed that crushing loss with a deflating 1-0 defeat in Game 3. Right about now, a Donkey Kong hammer to the nostrils feels like the next logical outcome for Detroit.

But this is not the time of year to dwell on things, especially since we’re staring at an insufferable Red Sox-Cardinals World Series matchup, one that would be truly nauseating from a fanbase perspective.

Of most importance here is that you must not forget the most significant nugget of the postseason … the hellacious existence of SOXTOBAH. It must go down, and it must go down hard.

*Definitely not a reverse jinx.
