Sometimes it’s better to say nothing. This is one of those times.

But to steal a line allegedly uttered by Yogi Berra, I have nothing to say and I’ll say it once.

Hard-Luck Nate reappears only to have his hitters fail to deliver a run when it counts. For the second straight game Pudge Rodriguez makes the final out — this time with the tying runs in scoring position.

If you’re like me, you allow yourself a modicum of comfort in the following factoids:

  1. The Tigers are only 2.5 games out of first place with five weeks to go.
  2. Detroit’s offense simply can’t go on stranding runners — the numbers have to shift in the Tigers favor. (Right?)
  3. One timely hit, a game-saving catch — or both — can turn a season around. (Right?)

Hey, with a month to go we do what it takes to get us through the dog days. This is how I do it.

How are you coping?

    How am I coping: I breathe in and out. Sometimes more rapidly than at other times.

    Very disappointed to see Jason Grilli remain and Zach Miner go. I know it’s really splitting hairs, but has Grilli done anything recently to earn a spot on this roster for the final five weeks.

    Meanwhile, C-Mo and cash for a Cubby PTBNL. My father, a lifelong Cub fan who yearns to see his team in the Series, has got to be spittin’ mad right about now.

    Who knows, maybe if the wind is blowing out …
