Game 71: Tigers (32-38) at Giants (31-40)

Bblend_avatar_tiny by Ian Casselberry on in News Comment 254 comments

Detroit Tigers @ San Francisco Giants


Kenny Rogers (4-4, 4.63) vs. Jonathan Sanchez (6-3, 4.26)

Shouldn't the baseball gods be angry at the San Francisco Giants for preventing the Detroit Tigers from winning a game in which Marcus Thames ("The Hammer!") hit a home run?  Before last night, Detroit had won every time Thames put one into the seats.  Could the baseball gods have been wagging a finger at Thames for showing hubris in hitting more than one home run?  Perhaps, but he had another two-homer game earlier this season vs. the Angels, and the Tigers won that one.  All I'm saying is that the Giants might have tested the mercy of those who watch over our grand game.  (And I ain't talkin' about Bud Selig.)

Despite allowing seven runs on nine hits and three walks over five innings in his last outing, Jonathan Sanchez walked out of Colorado with a win in his pocket.  Actually, the Giants frequently win when Sanchez pitches, putting together an 11-3 record in his 14 starts this season.  Sanchez has given up seven runs in three starts, so he's capable of getting lit up.  But in his other 11 appearances, he's allowed more than two runs only twice. 

Kenny Rogers has pitched through the seventh inning in his last four starts.  Yet he didn't earn a win in either of those appearances, despite giving up just three earned runs over 29 innings.  Rogers is coming off his best performance of the season, however, allowing just four hits in eight innings vs. the White Sox, and is giving the Tigers a chance to win every time he steps onto the mound. 

The Vernor's banner has been retired, as the streak of winning with effervescence came to an end last night.  Maybe it'll come back once the Tigers return home, as Vernor's is more of a Detroit thing.  But we probably got everything we could've out of that horse, and maybe should just retire it to stud.

Re: The Celtics

I LOATHED the Celtics growing up. I’ve never hated a player with the white-hot intensity that I did for Danny Ainge. So I’ll never say I’m “happy” for the Celtics here. But a tip of the cap is in order to Mr. Pierce and Mr. Garnett.

I’ve been a fan of the C’s for about 35 years now, and I’ve always hated Ainge. He was such a whiner, and he made that miserable face any time a call went against him.

there are these batting cages that havent been updated since the 80’s and send baseballs zooming at your head. Anyways the cages have nicknames based on how fast the pitches are thrown w/ the fastest cage called the Ryan Express.

How was that woman allowed to bring something with Barry Bonds’ likeness on it into the ballpark?

I don’t know, but it was pathetic. I guess if your from San Fran, Barry Bonds is all you’ve got.

Funny how they just seem to have to forgot the guy

The radio guys were talking about a Giants Legends poster give-away. they rattled off 5 names, but no mention of Bonds

Pistons note-if anyone's interested

Chauncey removed himself from consideration for the Olympic Team.

Good

He needs to have an offseason. The Pistons have played a lot of basketball over the past few seasons.

of all the pistons trade rumors

which do you find most intriguing? I like the Carlos Boozer Ronnie Brewer deal Chad Ford proposed in his espn.com column. Although I’ll never trust anything he says again after he compared Darko to Hakeem

I don't care who's traded

as long as it results in Jason Maxiell and Amir Johnson being unleashed

as a Celtics fan

let me say, the most important Piston to get a chance to play is Rodney Stuckey

For whatever reason...

Boozer has a horrible reputation as a team cancer. ‘Course, so did Sheed before he got here. He may have that reputation again.

I’d still love to have him on the team, though. I am not wild about the Melo rumors.

How about Rip, ‘Sheed, and Amir for D. Howard?

That Charlotte idea was intriguing, though Morrison and May could be disappointing busts.

I'm glad he did that.

I really don’t think that he would have made the cut anyway. Kidd is automatic, even if Billups is better than him (and he is). But he is one of the leaders on the team and his style of play lends itself more to the good of the team because of the athleticism surrounding him. It will be a hell of a show when Kidd is running the break with Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Melo, Bosh, Howard and Amare/Chandler. Colangelo and Coach K want three PG’s and the logical backups will be Williams from Utah and Chris Paul (not with the team for the World Championships but it would be a travesty if he didn’t go to Beijing). Chauncey likely saw the writing on the wall and stepped out of the way. Prince, on the other hand, has a real shot at 12th man since Coach K fave Battier isn’t availiable.

Nice Work by Jones

The man did what he always does, give us a heart attack, then get the outs and ends the inning.

Maybe it's 1 a.m. talking

But that didn’t seem as bad as the Dodgers game on Sunday. Even though Jonesy loaded the bases.

the lead never changed, they still won it by 4…

Ah...good job Jonesy.

Don’t mean to overstate it, but that’s a big win, especially with the White Sox win tonight.

Well done, guys.

Marcus Thames is playing madden on his PS5 after the game… that’s how awesome he is.

i came to grips with the fact we might get no-hit.. then the san fran announcers brought up that he had a no hitter going… kiss of death. Watch Verlander’s no-no last year.. Rod and Mario didn’t say a word about it.

I was ready to accept a no-hitter, too.
