Hey, coach; I found this lying behind this dirt mound. What’s it for?
We supporters of the Big Tilde know how important it is to MVP voters (and us) that the Tigers make the playoffs. Falling 3.5 games behind the Indians in the AL Central and losing a game to the Yankees in the [...]

All right, I know what you’re saying. The Big Tilde did nothing to facilitate the Tigers’ 16-0 ass hammering of the New York Yankees. That’s simply not true. His 1-for-4 day with two walks and a run scored is completely substandard, and he’s the only Tigers starter who didn’t knock in a run.
Well, that’s not [...]

The Big Tilde is a giving soul. On a day when Alex Rodriguez went 0-4 with two strikeouts, Ordóñez chose not to show him up by going 0-4 himself with one K. Still, his giving did not stop there; he let his teammates carry the day in a 5-4 win against the Yankees [...]

Sophia Ordóñez didn’t know her father when she was born.
She was born in the summer of 2004 during a particularly difficult time for her father. He was struggling through a knee injury that just wouldn’t heal. Arthroscopic surgery didn’t do the job; therapy didn’t do the job; waiting and hoping wouldn’t do the [...]

I have a modest proposal for you Jim Leyland - start a reliever and bring Jeremy Bonderman in during the 2nd inning. Don’t give me any nonsense like “well Jerkwheat, wouldn’t that just make the 2nd inning the same as the 1st for Bondo?” It’s bullpucky. Bondo is simply confused by the number ONE and [...]

Welcome back to Detroit UP! All Night, where we show the perks of being a night owl.
First pitch was after 11 pm local time due to a series of nasty thunderstorms that got everyone all wet. For the first five innings, the score bounced as much as me during high school track and field. [...]

If the bullpen’s problem is that Joel Zumaya was hurt, but then Zumaya gives up the winning runs in extra innings … then what?
Nate Robertson was again greeted by his long lost mistress, Annabelle Norunsupport with 8 2/3 innings of shutout baseball. Zumaya took the ball from there, and guided it with an insufficient [...]

The ball was flying around Comerica last night with 3 Tiger homers, and while this included a shot for our hero, it also included a few too many big hits for the Indians. Justin Verlander continued to struggle and put the Tigers in an early hole after allowing 4 runs in the 4th inning. [...]

Surely, most of you know who the Big Tilde is and how he got to this place. However, there are surely a few not familiar with his true story. Since we must get every vote possible for him, we now take the opportunity to tell his life story again. Pass this along [...]

Once again, the Detroit Tigers rode the squiggly wave of awesomeness, this time in a 2-1 victory over the visiting AL Central rival Cleveland Indians. Magglio Ordoñez’s solo home run in the 5th inning of Fausto Carmona broke the scoreless tie and gave rookie pitcher Jair Jurrjens jis jirst jin of jis jareer. The Big [...]
