Yep. That’s pretty much it.

Here we are - 38 games into the season, roughly 1/4 of the way home. No, our hero is not leading a first place team, as was expected. However, his team is only 4 games out right now. Then again, said team is also only 16-22. After 0-7 begat 2-10 which begat 14-15…the Tiggers have [...]

He Likes It! Hey Inge-y!
Posted in brandon inge, suss on May 8, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Let’s get Brandon Inge to play catcher. He’ll play anywhere.
What has changed is Inge’s attitude towards catching. He has gone past just accepting it, and now says he actually likes it.
“My heart’s definitely into it now, and that’s a big step,” Inge said Tuesday, before the Detroit Tigers’ 5-0 loss to Boston. “I’m enjoying it. [...]

Game 33: It’s Lineup Shakeup (And I Helped!)
Posted in lineup shakeup, stop losing you losers, suss on May 5, 2008 | 9 Comments »
The much-discussed lineup shakeup by manager Jim Leyland was carefully unveiled today underneath a pristine satin sheet. [whoosh] So … that’s weird. His Tildeness was batting DH, with n00b Matt Joyce playing in right. Gary Sheffield, dropped down to sixth, was roving in left while Jacque Jones goes on a top secret assignment mission type [...]
Game 32: Recycling is Bad, M’kay?
Posted in big tilde, magglio ordonez, tuffy on May 4, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Lloyd McClendon smiled weakly and patted Mr. Leyland on the back. “Giving mini-bats to the whole team for today’s game was a stroke of genius, Mr. Leyland, sir. Six runs is a lot of scoring, especially when using little bats.”
Mr. Leyland, struck between the shoulder blades, coughed phlegm about for a good minute. [...]
Game 31: We See What You Did There, Young Lady

“Man, those boys can’t hit the broad side of a barn tonight. What on Earth is goin’ on out there? Grumble grumble kerfuffle fudge.”
Lloyd McClendon shrugged. “Dunno, Mr. Leyland, sir. I thought we fixed that in Yankee Stadium. We get to Minneapolis and all the life’s taken out of the [...]
Game 30: In Which Excrement Occurs Occasionally
Posted in big tilde, dingers!, magglio ordonez, tuffy on May 3, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Sometimes your young starter is left in a little too long despite a low pitch count. Sometimes your bullpen makes you pine for another Sussman-led campfire song about Jason Grilli. Sometimes Captain Eephus throws well against all odds. Whaddya gonna do?
You send Justin Verlander back out there Saturday and ask him to stop [...]
Game 29: In Which We Check in on Our Tilde Grande
Posted in big tilde, magglio ordonez, tuffy on May 2, 2008 | 5 Comments »
First, point of order: The Tigers swept the Yankees (who look like the Yankees of early Steinbrenner the Elder more than the ones we remembered to fear again - only Steinbrenner family hubris at generational intervals has kept Major League Baseball from radically changing its revenue sharing structure). Very good. They now stand [...]
