Deadspin/TB~ Detroit Pants Party Update

Posted in big tilde, jerkwheat on June 30, 2008 | 4 Comments »

We are getting mighty close to the very first Detroit Pants Party. In less than two weeks, we’ll all be roaming the SRO and shouting various invictives to the members of the Minnesota Twins. Also, our namesake, The Big Tilde, will still be out of commission for the Pants Party, but we won’t let it [...]

State of the Tilde

“…the Tigers have a puncher’s chance of being back in this thing by the end of June. If they can pull of a 7-3 homestand and a pair of 4-2 trips after that, then they’ll have completed a 15-7 stretch and will be 39-42 heading into a stretch of 9 division games in July before [...]

Pillars Of Awesome Colliding

Posted in big tilde, magglio ordonez, suss, that picture is comedy bullion, the todd jones experience on June 25, 2008 | 7 Comments »

During the 5-5 rain delay, closère extraordinaire Todd “Frogger” Jones entertained the masses, as depicted by the AP’s Duane Burleson, with song and dance while donning artificial Tilde-xtension. This gave the real Tilde ample time to negotiate with the Gods to expedite the move of the clouds to Cleveland.
If, during the next rain delay, Tilde [...]

Awww, My Tiger, BInge is heading off to the DL today with that nasty oblique strain just refusing to get better.
Taking his place will be our 47th different Mud Hen of the year, catcher Dane Sardinha. Sardinha is hitting .206 and has committed FIVE errors thus far. I’m thinking Pudge is not going to be [...]

Undefeated With A 9th Inning Lead. Really.

It’s an off-day tonight, which gives me ample time to bring up something odd from Saturday.

Victory At Sea

Posted in big tilde, detroit tigers, dingers!, jerkwheat, magglio ordonez on June 22, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Lose the first game, win the next two. This is getting to be a habit. With today’s 5-3 victory over the Padres, the Tigers have won their fourth series in a row and completed a 4-2 road trip. The Tigers are getting very good at fulfilling the prophecies of the The Big Tilde. Even better [...]

After a week and a half of not shaving, I felt like it was time. But before I began, like Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind, I saw a pattern of a certain Tigers closer within the thick, full, thickfullness of the beard, and attempted to carve the beauty right then and there:
