DETROIT (CBS Detroit) He’s only human, folks, so no matter how much you feel justified in spewing hate at the man who seems to let you down on the mound over and over — it may hurt his feelings.

Or maybe not.

A thick-skinned Joe Nathan read, for your viewing pleasure, some of the nastiest Tweets disappointed Detroit sports fans have sent him in the last few weeks. And he didn’t cry, not even once.

Put that coffee down, Joe! Coffee’s for closers.

Nathan should be referred to a loose burger rather than sloppy Joe. Dont know about you but I fill my shorts w loose burger when he pitches. — Tim Jeleniewski (@realmichiganman) August 24, 2014

Joe Nathan's middle name should be changed to "and the tying run is at the plate" — TigersProspectReport (@TigersProspects) August 24, 2014

Please let the Joe Nathan experiment mercifully end and let the Tigers cut the man. You've heard of Shoeless Joe? Nathan is Useless Joe. — Christopher Barger (@cbarger) August 20, 2014

Jim Johnson & Joe Nathan warming up in the Tigers bullpen. Because apparently Brad Ausmus hates us. — Jordan Strack (@JordanStrack) August 20, 2014

Joe Nathan is a sensitive guy #Tigers fans so don’t boo him and Coke, they’re trying their best #sarcasm http://t.co/UYwJyIlEyf — Chad Erwin (@ErwinChad) August 18, 2014

#sloppy Joe #joenathan strikes again. Joe Nathan is a loser, he shouldn't pitch to little league kids. He'll blow this game. He's washed up — Russell Robillard (@russellsaks5th) August 24, 2014

Sloppy Joe Nathan making $9 Million this season. Excuse me while I violently puke. #Detroit #Tigers https://t.co/xzA0xFD4LP — Detroit On Deck (@DetroitOnDeck) August 11, 2014

If you think Joe Nathan is "good enough" to be #Tigers closer, you probably paid money to see "Let's Be Cops" at the movie theater. — Ryan Schuiling (@ryanschuiling) August 24, 2014
