Twitter me this, twitter me that, who's afraid of the Tigers' bats?

So basically I'm famous. Well, not really. Today, I twittered live updates for Mlive at the Tigers' game. It was a lot of fun, until the Tigers lost.

Here's my stream, reversed to chronological order beginning with my first tweet.

greetings from comerica, game time temp is 59 degrees and the crowd cheers

a fan is confused that dombrowski plays for the tigers and bought a dombrowski jersey

great start, after going 0-2 on swisher, willis walks him

big boy wasn't too good with details today and i ended up with some bun-on-bun action in my double decker burger

cabrera flies out with two on and an old man in toledo muttered "hessman would have ate that up"

mvp 5 games in is clete thomas

jacque jones actually does something good... crowd is in shock

inge doubles in jacque and the tigers lead 1-0

ozuna, how about no-zuna!

dontrelle with the slowest pick-off throw ever

dontrelle with a no-hitter through 3, I'm a one-man curse machine

mullet in a hot-orange scrunchie sighting

quentin a few feet away from putting the white sox up 3-1, one pitch later, he grounds into a dp to get willis out of the jam

quentin's revenge as he guns to double renteria off first after a pudge fly-out

guy wearing a renteria no. 11 t-shirt obviously right after the trade and before the t-shirt maker realized 11 is sparky's number

inge homers to left, he's making a case to keep an everyday role when granderson returns, maybe in left?

ok, the no-hitter joke isn't looking so funny now when he still has it after 5

little kid in front of us has dippin dots... when will dippin dots be the ice cream of the present instead of the ice cream of the future?

some guy participating in the wave wearing two orange fists from the souvenir stand... hilarious
dontrelle has allowed no hits, but a bevy of walks

thome breaks up the no-hitter and the shutout... sigh

pandering to the little kid behind us who has been yelling "pull him!" leyland brings in miner

tie game...

mark champion level of pessimism has befallen CoPa

sac fly... sox lead

inge is batting .400, watch out ted Williams

had no idea francis beltran had been called up

beltran puts grilli to shame

boone logan sounds like davey crockett's cousin or a character from a gary paulsen book

inge just misses another

polanco needs to recapture the power of the overgrown temples and get a hit sometime

a young fan is braving the chilly night to show off his guns via cut-off granderson t-shirt

beltran looking more and more like a keeper

spoke too soon... dye homers

magglio gidp... i want to cry

announcement about kids running the bases tomorrow night after the game.... at midnight???

bautista throwing well, hopefully i don't curse him like i did beltran

white sox have 3 hits and are up 5-3... ridiculous

jacque jones is the only hope... not looking good

love fielders indifference

bobby fats can't throw a strike

time for clete to make up for that error

blah good play by crede, tigers are 0-5

just saw fans swigging liquor on the ramp, it's that bad

highlight of the day, a guy juggling drumsticks while playing the xylophone outside the stadium


So yeah, the Tigers are 0-5, sound the panic. I'm going to go cry now.

This is cool and all when taken as a whole, but I honestly can't imagine caring enough about anything to keep track of one-sentence comments reported over irregular intervals. But maybe I'm just not the twitter type.

I would have watched the game on FOX yesterday, but apparently D.C. is Atlanta Braves territory. Stupid slavery.

I actually don't quite get the Twitter thing either. In this case it was fun, but otherwise, I find it confusing.
