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 true. Sean Casey didn’t have an RBI either. But he did have a triple, and when he ran the bases it sounded something like this. But you choose to ignore that simple fact.
What Ordoñez was doing, in his MVP ways, was allowing other athletes to rack up statistics, much to the delight of their respective fantasy owners. TBT is aware that they will need his mystical swing later on in the pennant run. He knew that. You guys didn’t.
That’s the power of Tildus Maximus.
Toñight’s Liñe: 1-4, 2 BB, 1 R

Also, the Yankees are now only one game ahead of the Tigers for a wild card spot. The Tigers are three games out of the wild card lead and 2.5 games out of the AL Central lead. The Yankees take their tender bottoms back home to face Boston while the Tigers get Kansas City. tee hee.
Don’t forget the Seattle Marine Biologists — they lost last night and have more games against the Angels, Indians, Jays, and Yankees.
Will the BoSox return the favor and whoop on the Yanks? Because we’d like to fall back on the Wild Card if the division doesn’t pan out.
