Detroit Tigers' Failure Spawns Greatest Tweet of the Day

The Detroit Tigers did us all a solid when they decided to give up six runs late in the game, spawning a hashtag fail that delivered the tweet of the day. 

After jumping out to a 2-0 lead, the Oakland A's responded with big rallies in the sixth and ninth innings to win the game 12-4.  

This turn of events caused Dallas Morning News columnist, Evan Grant, to tweet this marvel to the masses.

"

Nice work by Detroit relievers today, allowing 6 in 9th to Oakland. I guess you could say #tigerspenisstinky

— Evan Grant (@Evan_P_Grant) September 20, 2012"

That little hashtag misstep caused a wave of hilarity. We are certain Grant wanted to go with #TigersPenIsStinky or perhaps #TigersBullpenStinks. 

Then again, only Grant knows. But this is how Andrew Baggarly tweeted in response.

"

Hashtag doubletake! RT @evan_p_grant: Nice work by Detroit relievers today, allowing 6 in 9th. I guess you could say #tigerspenisstinky

Yes, this tweet was that special collection of words that reads like one of those pictures you stare at for a few minutes until the image of a boat or something else appears. 

Before long, you can see that Tigers may have more issues than their bullpen. 

It's the thin line that separates #TigersHitOften from something rather problematic. 

Practice safe hashtagging out there Tweeps, because you may make a semi-creative tweet into something altogether more hilarious. 

Well, I guess you could say this tweet was rather successful then. Never mind.
