Bert Blyleven, guy with interesting name and former Major League Baseball pitcher, upset Detroiters on Thursday when he sent a rambling tweet about his feelings on downtown Detroit.
Blyleven, who currently works as the Minnesota Twins' color commentator, offered his remarks during during a rain delay at this afternoon's ballgame between the Twins and Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.
Maybe they meant 4:45? It is the best I have seen downtown Detroit though! Thank you low clouds! pic.twitter.com/QDLGCuSeQp

Heh, well. Blyleven's remarks weren't exactly well-received. Still, Bert didn't seem to mind the uproar.
Guess I ruffled some feathers with my last tweet about download Detroit! Guess all you that responded haven't seen how ugly your downtown is

(If you have visited download Detroit, please inquire within.) Of course, that immediately set off another firestorm of remarks, with one person saying: "I guess you haven't seen how ugly your personality is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
Anyway, Blyleven's Twins have scored a total of zero runs in their first two games against the Tigers. So, really: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
