Detroit Tigers at San Diego Padres, Jun 21, 2008 10:05 PM EDT
Nate Robertson (5-6, 5.46) vs. 
Cha Seung Baek (1-2, 4.84)
After last night's 6-2 loss, I figured we could use a bit of a laugh. So if you haven't seen this yet, courtesy of Deadspin (and rock n rye, who posted it in the GameThread), here's Jim Leyland and his mascot counterpart, "Jim Flealand."
Any chance there were more photos taken after this? I mean, Leyland and Flealand at least went outside for a smoke, right? Another question to consider might be whether or not Flealand would give Fernando Rodney the ball right now.
Moving onto tonight's game, Cha Seung Baek makes his fourth start for the Padres since being traded from Seattle in late May. And he's thrown quality starts in two of his last three appearances. But it's Baek's start on May 9 of last year that we should probably talk about. That night, he pitched a complete game against the Tigers at Comerica Park, holding Detroit to two runs on six hits. Three of the players who got hits were Brandon Inge, Gary Sheffield, and Craig Monroe.
What can be expected from Nate Robertson tonight? Usually, he alternates between good starts and bad starts. But he's pitched well in his last two appearances. Actually, he was outstanding last Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing no runs on four hits in six innings. So is he due for a return to giving up four runs a game? Or has Nate had something of a breakthrough?
Ready to spend your S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night in a GameThread?

Starting Lineups
I didn’t think Inge would play tonight, which is why I mentioned him as one of the players who got a hit off Baek last May. Actually, he went 2-for-3, which might be one reason Leyland is playing him.

2. Placido Polanco, 2B
3. Carlos Guillen, 3B
4. Magglio Ordonez, RF
5. Miguel Cabrera, 1B

Flealand
The antennae are kind of a lame, low-key effort to get to they Flea part of the name, aren’t they? It’s kind of funny they sent him up to the press box when Leyland was in there. Or maybe Jim requested to meet his arachnoid doppelganger.
And who’s this other Matt in Toledo who keeps getting me mentioned in game threads in which I didn’t participate?
by mattintoledo on Jun 21, 2008 8:58 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
There are two Matt in Toledos? Or Matts in Toledo? Oh, this might be a problem.

Multiple Matts in Toledo!
Okay, there’s “Matt in Toledo” and “mattintoledo” (otherwise known as Take 75 North). I’ll have to remind myself to look at the spaces in the name.

Not sure what you mean? The San Diego channel has someone called The Walrus? (By the way, I’m a Matt too, but not in Toledo…)

This would be a big win if we can get it
The White Sox lost this afternoon to the Cubs (two straight losses). Meanwhile, the Red Sox got HAMMERED by St. Louis, who’s conveniently caught fire (6 HRs in 2 games) right before they hit the CoPa. And the Tribe won in LA and CC hit a HR well over 400 ft. Absolutely crushed it. If he is going to have Cecil Fielder’s body, he might as well hit like Cecel. Maybe Cleveland will have him replace Pronk.

I trust him by default
who is trustworthy in the pen? Roller Coaster? The kid who had 1 inning above A ball before this year (Dolsi)?

His ERA in June is 1.08, though he nearly gave up that win against the Indians a couple of weeks ago.

Ok I suppose

coulda done without the double
but no harm done. I’d love to see some insurance runs

who pitches the 8th?
Seay and Dolsi and then Jones in the 9th?

Guessing Seay to start
due to Gonzalez being a lefty…...Chase it up next and he’s a switch hitter, so he could keep Seay in of go to Dolsi after Gonzalez. The third batter is a righty.
