    Default Tiger and other baseball-related Twitter'ers




    ...or is it Tweeters?

    @DrunkMiggy .... absolutely hilarious at times.

    @PhilCokesBrain is funny on occasion, as is @FakeLeyland

    @WillRhymes @BradPenny and @Jacob_Turner22 are the only other Tigers I can think of that have it, aside from JV.

    Logan Morrison (@LoMoMarlins) has become the "BizNasty2point0" of the MLB, he can be funny at times but it gets a little annoying when he retweets everyone. (BizNasty is Paul Bissonnette, a self proclaimed "plug" who plays on the 4th line for the Phoenix Coyotes - he's a must follow.)

    @RodAllenQuotes is good, and the real one is on there too, @RodAllen12, along with @Mario_Impemba

    others

    Peter Gammons retweeted one of mine.... that lead to a 28% increase in followers.... but it wasn't a baseball related one.

    from 7 to 9. Now I have 10. That doesn't include the fake women.

    @RobLong73

    The worst part about Twitter is when something does happen it leads to 1,000 tweets all saying the same thing. I signed up in the fall and it came in very handy during the rain delay in game 4 of the ALCS.

    I like twitter a lot. I do get tired of those who constantly post. I deleted someone who I really like because I didn't have time to read all their tweets. I'm about to do the same thing with Neal Boortz. That man loves to tweet.

    I have to say I am a bit disappointed when guys I associate with baseball load up on the political commentary. Rob Neyer, Keith Law are the bigger offenders. But it's a free country and nobody forces me to follow them, it's not like I am on ESPN or SBNation and seeing that stuff. It's just disappointing, that's all.

    I do like it for the links to columns and such to things that I normally wouldn't come across.

    @Decker6 (Cody Decker, player in the Padres system) is really entertaining. DavidPrice14 is great. Sometimes Twitter can make me hate a celebrity or athlete, but his has made me love him. Then there's the obvious ones like Logan Morrison and CJ Wilson. CJ tweeted me twice and all of a sudden I was up 50 followers in a week.

    Torii Hunter is another good one.

    Lmao. I love Twitter!

    Oh, I almost forgot. I've followed ajcbraves for awhile and he's really good. He's obviously centered around Braves news, but he talks about general baseball news as well.

    I am in the same situation. 20 tweets a day is too much. Stream of consciousness writing should be relegated to poetry clubs, not to twitter.

    To Biff Mayhem: Honestly, why bother harassing Rod Allen and having an account devoted to giving him hell. If you don't like his style, that's fine. It's not like he's a bad human being who deserves flack. He's a good guy and a Tigers fan. He's not out to get you or anyone. It's a poor representation of Tigers fans in general. I'd like for Rod to go to Arizona in the off-season and talk about how great we all are.

    He did an appearance on the Baligian show yesterday. He needs to work on his improv a bit. Maybe he is better when he has time to type his thoughts out but that could be potentially be a pretty good weekly bit if he had some material worked on in advance.
