Game Seventeen - Bob Seger 8 Tragically Hip 4

Folks, it’s starting to look like the Tigers may be figuring out this game they call based balls. After reverting to form against the Native Americans the previous night, the Tigers invaded Canada with a purpose and a passion and won for the fourth time in five games since getting blown out in last Sunday.

Game 15 - Popup Video

Finally, it has happened to me
Right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it
Meeting the Tigers’ offense seemed like a dream
But now the bats are back (or at least it seems)
With a wicked batting eye and curly black hair
It’s just the way he walks to first three times without a care
Finally, the runs [...]

Game 14 - Tiggers 6 Twinkies 5

WINNAR STREAK!!!

Another fantastic eighth inning effort including the game tying RBI from The Big Tilde followed by what was the game deciding 2 run homer from The Mig Tilde! OH THE HUMANITY!! The Todd Jones Experience did his best to [...]

Important Game 11 Update

Yes, so.  That’s Carlos Quentin pointing at my crotch with his glove.  He is SO on the Enemies of the Tilde list.

Game 13 - The State of Our Tilde Is Strong!

“The New Tilde” by Tuffy Lazarus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our halogen-washed, Comerica gates shall stand
A mighty man with a bat, whose flare
Is the run-scoring double, and his name The Big Tilde.
From his glove-hand
Glows world-wide acclaim; his wild hair’s command
The Windsor-bridged harbor that twin [...]

State of the Tilde

Friends, as the past two weeks have unraveled before our eyes, one thing has become perfectly clear - the state of the Tilde right now is straight up turrrrible. The starters have been shelled, the relievers have been shelled, and the hitters couldn’t hit water standing in the ocean. We’ve watched our boys get swept [...]

Game 11 - Froze My Tilde Off

In an ongoing effort to support and honor the Big Tilde, your intrepid reporter went out in the 37-degree rainstorm that encompassed New Comiskey Park Saturday to document the Tigers-White Sox game

Not doin’ THAT again any time soon.
I bundled up appropriately for the occasion: thermal underwear, Tigers shirt, Bears hoodie, Bears pullover jacket, wool cap. [...]

Game Ten - Los Tigres Del Norte 5 Pale Hose 2

I missed out on Dontreezey’s big fall, as I was enjoying a rare evening out with the missus, but I got home in time to turn on my MLB.TV so that I could witness the unpossible - Jason Grilli, the Cheeseman himself, throwing 3 scoreless AND HITLESS innings. After allowing single runs in the first [...]

Game 9 - Didn’t Happen

In yesterday’s news, the Big Tilde hit his first home run of the season off no one in particular in a game that never happened and we can all move on with our lives. Certainly, the Tigers’ bullpen didn’t give up more than the sellers in the Louisiana Purchase in the 7th and 8th [...]
