The stupid Tigers have been in first place since May 10th, but that really doesn’t mean they are a good team. That just means they are slightly less sucky than the rest of the teams in their division.

They have been playing AWFUL for the past week and a half, after sweeping the Rays IN FLORIDA two weekends ago, tricking me into thinking they might be a good team. No. Oh no. They are just trickers. Because they have dropped SEVEN OF THE LAST TEN games. And just because they are doing slightly better than the Twins and White Sox still, despite all that losing, doesn’t mean they are a good team.

So after the Tigers gave up 5 runs in 3 innings and having this conversation with PT:

I biked home and made The Tigers Suck Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, and Chocolate Chip Cookies, with a little help from the chocolate chip cookie recipe from The Fannie Farmer Cookbook.
Ingredients!

Ingredients!

Ingrediants

4 tbs butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4-1/2 cup apple sauce
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/8 cups flour
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup old fashioned oats

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup peanut butter chips

Preheat over to 375. Grease you cookie sheets. I like using a mini cupcake pan for my cookies because I make HUGE cookies. I kind of hate making cookies. It takes forever, and I’d rather just make brownies or a cake because it’s once in and once out of the oven. But if I use my mini cupcake tin and use a normal cookie sheet for the rest of my dough I can make them all in one shot.

Cream butter with sugars gradually. Add vanilla and apple sauce, starting with 1/4 cup and adding more later if needed. Mix the flour, salt, and baking soda together and add it to the butter/sugar mixture, blending it well. If the dough is too dry add more applesauce.

Mix in oatmeal and chips. Drop on cookie sheet (or mini cupcake tins!) and bake for 8-12 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies. Mine usually take 12!

The Tigers lost 9-2, but I ate 4 cookies so I don’t feel as bad. We are playing the Twins this weekend, but at least I’ve already given up on life so I don’t have to get mad at PT about it.

And I’ve got the Lions! Who are consistently bad so they don’t BREAK MY HEART IN HALF.

… need one more cookie.
