The Detroit Tigers have had their share of struggles. Since mid-2017 they've seen the wins as hard to come by, their transactions providing little immediate help to the skids they've experienced. Their general manager issues have seen them a laughing stock to the league, and many think them as little of a threat in this league.

Those who do are foolish, however, because I am positive that the Detroit Tigers will win the 2018-19 Paper Cup. At least, I believe they have as big a chance as any major team in this league.

First, we need to discuss the full history of the Detroit Tigers. Started by now-OOTC powerhouse Zum Boehner, the fake millionaire was excited to bring the sport of fake baseball to the Detroit area. The team's draft was considered mid-tier, spurned by the first-round pick of now-Indian Valentino Rollin. Rollin and Morris Deratt would make a quick offensive powerhouse duo.

The team jumped out to a quick 3-0 start, largely considered the best club in the American League. Big Tuna was the ace of the MLR for the first few sessions.

After a 3-0 start, the Tigers battled the Phillies, however, who handed them their first loss, a close contest that ended in a walkoff by the Philadelphia club. It all went down from there.

"I said 'Aw well that's too bad,' but hey, 3-1 is still good. right?" Merodach Baladan, longtime Tiger, recalled about the game. All-Star outfielder Morris Deratt concurs.

"I was feeling really good and was kinda mad that we weren't first in the power rankings," Deratt said.

The Tigers would never be the same after that game. They would win one more game out of the remaining 4 to go 4-3 on the season, missing the playoffs on a tiebreaker. The season hadn't been planned to go 7 games, but rather 22. It was cut short after an expansion was planned.

When asked about the shortened season, Deratt gave a simple answer: "Lmao that sucks."
