Ah, nothing like a little roster movement to break up the day…
Earlier this week, Toledo Super Slugger Jeff Larish (not to be confused with Toledo Home Run King Mike Hessman) joined the Tiggers when Sheff re-joined the list of the elderly and infirmed. But today, we bring you more roster changes…

Remember Highlights Magazine? Good, this’ll make the reference a lot easier to get through.
Consider the following paragraph:
Detroit Tigers starter Armando Galarraga took a shutout into the ninth inning against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, only to give up a 2-run home run to Maicer Izturis. Todd Jones then entered the game and retired the [...]

Well, we aren’t quite as organized as those who organized the Deadspin Midwest Pants Party, but we are Tiger fans so you should know better than to have expectations of us by now. So, let’s get on with the details:
Who: Friends of the Tilde and Deadspin commenters who want to travel to Detroit for some [...]

Hey! Remember the last time the Tigers swept a series and we were all happy and bubbly aboot it? (that’s right, aboot) Well, this week’s performance against the Mariners was a super(market) sweep that we all enjoyed. The Big Tilde brought some folks in, so did Grandy, Sheff got some hits, and Matt Joyce Needs [...]

Welcome back Dontrelle Willis. I totally forgot you were even on the Detroit Tigers.
The fear was that The Non-Non-Hodgkins Cat Armando Galarraga was going to be sent down to make room for Locomotive Breath, but instead they took out a pistol and shot Clay Rapada in the shoulder and dragged him to the DL. [...]

Let’s get this out of the way…Jim Leyland is a ****** grown man, Jim Leyland is 40!
As always, a Leyland rant leads to a quality performance. The Tiggers exploded last night thanks in no small part to Bizarro Rentaria going 4-4 with 5 RBI. The Big Tilde went yard, so did Granderson (3 RBI!), and [...]

It’s obvious now that this can’t be a one-day intervention. Consider this week your Reaffirmation of Faith.
The Tigers invite the Mariners into The Den today. There will be no false guarantees of sweeps or wins or even sequential hits. Those are false attempts at bravado. That’s not how the Tilde works. Instead, we’ll spend the [...]

(As promised.)
Hey, aren’t we about due for one of those articles that emphasizes internal strife and lays blame like one of those spitting sprinklers?
Yep. Sure are.
Feel free to jump in anywhere to hear about how Miguel Cabrera is a huge fatass and Dontrelle Willis is damaged goods and Gary Sheffield is dead weight and The [...]

Six games out of first
I didn’t need the pain
One or two was enough
Where is the D-Train?
The hits pile right up
Before you know it you’re losing
Then something happens
Everytime Kenny pitches to you
The ball hits the ground
Because the gloves aren’t true
I stand here on the mound
Driving all the fans crazy
But I don’t care what they say
Rapada’s beard [...]
