Detroit Tigers at Kansas City Royals, Jul 23, 2008 2:10 PM EDT
Armando Galarraga (7-4, 3.41) vs. 
Zack Greinke (7-6, 3.90)
Winning the first two games of this series so impressively (combined score of 26-5) has certainly been encouraging, wouldn't it be so much better if the Tigers finished off this series with a sweep. I don't want to seem greedy. But the Royals swept the first two series of the season with Detroit. How about returning the favor, and returning home for a big weekend clash with the White Sox flexing some muscles?
I'm not sure how much swagger the Tigers' lineup will have today, however, with last night's game ending late due to a two-and-a-half hour rain delay, today's afternoon start time, and a getaway flight back to Detroit. Do we think the skipper might be resting a few guys? Maybe not as much as he normally would, with tomorrow's off-day, but we'll see about that.
Has Armando Galarraga really gone winless in his previous five starts? Yes, and he's also taken the loss in his last two games. Galarraga didn't pitch very well against Baltimore, giving up five runs (four earned) on eight hits (including three home runs), but one encouraging thing about the performance is that he didn't walk anyone. And his control had been a concern beforehand. This will be Galarraga's first start against the Royals this season.
Which Zack Greinke will the Tigers see today? The guy who gave up seven runs and 11 hits in his last start? Or the pitcher who allowed just one run and six hits before that? Greinke has been very good in both of his starts against Detroit this season, however. In 13 innings, he's allowed just three runs.

Dedication and devotion
Just got back to work…... I had to race home to get Joyce in my fantasy line-up. I thought for sure Thames would be starting today. I guess Leyland is sticking with the lefty vs righty match up. Hard to believe the player leading the team in HR’s is sitting two days in a row.

Very true
I was at the game a week or so ago when the Tigers came back from 6-0 down to the Indians. A guy in front of me was there with his son and he was on an “anti-Sheff/it should be Marcus” rampage all game long. I mean he was a bitter man. Then Marcus came up in the ninth and got a single I thought the guy was going to pass out he was so excited. And he got to yell “See, I told you so!”

It’s better than the people I usually sit around. Remember that 7IP, 1ER Verlander game against the Twins that Mr. Cruceta destroyed by giving up a grand slam? This guy behind me said we should get Barry Bonds and thought you could still get a save when your team is losing.

I went to a game against the Tribe last year...
My friend and I just got standing-room-only tix. We were next to some homeless guy who must have snuck into the CoPa. He “knew” every pitch that was going to come next and spent the entire nine innings screaming incomprehensibly about it.
“I’m tellin’ you man, if he throw dat pitch, he gonna hit it over da fence, you won’t see him throw dat pitch again! See, whad I tellya!”

“M. Cabrera struck out swinging, P. Polanco caught stealingM. Ordonez out at second”
This is one single line from the yahoo play by play for the Tigers’ first inning….did the Royals pull off some bizarre triple play, or did someone at yahoo forget to hit the ‘enter’ key between lines?
by ahtrap on Jul 23, 2008 2:45 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Cabrera struck out
and then Mags got caught in a run down between first and second, and Polanco scored during that pickle.

Seriously though...
...what to do with Renteria? If you cut him, it essentially becomes a two-for-none trade (insert punch line). Can the Tigers make do with a Hollimon/Santiago combo?
Visit The Daily Fungo.
by MikeMcClary on Jul 23, 2008 3:03 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Well
You let him finish out the year. If he never turns it around, let’s assume then he stays about .255 – .265.
If the Tigers believe that they can get the same production out of that duo (and in my opinion, more power from Hollimon), then you HAVE to move Renteria.
You will essentially get the same production with a tad more power, and a lot more range on defense.
Sometimes you just have to cut your losses when you’ve made a bad investment.
by TFerg1103 on Jul 23, 2008 3:08 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
i don’t think they do a thing with him this year, they wouldn’t get much in a trade and there’s really no sense waisting the money they already paid him. I figure they will just platoon him and Ramon for the rest of the season to see if they can get him going. Maybe he’ll turn it on in the playoffs, huh?

I think there’s a guy out there with very large temples that has that position all locked up for a while. Holliman might want to learn short in a hurry.

Would be nice if Holliman could stick at shortstop
His bat would be nice asset at SS, but I’ve heard that the range just isn’t there.

compensation picks
Correct me if I’m wrong, but can’t the tigers give him his buyout then offer him arbitration, thus guaranteeing compensation picks if he signs with someone else?

I’ve heard he’s adequate at both. I’m sure he had some nerves when he first came up. If he hits well, it’ll be difficult to keep him out of the lineup, though
by Oost on Jul 23, 2008 3:17 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The thing is
Hollimon we have to ask ourselves will he produce? Look at ramon he’s batting freaking .320 and he seems to always score runs and can run the bases

guess the reverse jinx approach didn’t work….darn….

on the bright side...
the White Sox are throwing some rookie I’ve never heard of (Clayton Richard) and now they have DJ Carrasco in. Hardly intimidating.
Tigers will totally catch them.

crazy how when pitchers lose their no nos, it all of a sudden falls apart big time….

Come on Armando...
Let’s get out of the inning!

As soon as I fired up my laptop to check the game
That was the end of it.

Chuck it into Chesapeake Bay
It is clearly infused with evil.

Give that guy a pat on the back
That’s a good 7 innings of work right there

So has Sheff looked poor at the plate?
Or is he just missing pitches?
by TFerg1103 on Jul 23, 2008 4:15 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Sheffield?
The only guy who hasn’t reached bases is the designated hitter. That’s irony.
by pfuhrmeister on Jul 23, 2008 4:16 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I'm not sure if its Ironic
Or pathetic. Irony would be if it was unexpected, and does anyone really expect sheff to reach anymore?

what do you all think?
Should Armando come back out for the eighth, or should they go to the pen?
by Oost on Jul 23, 2008 4:17 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Send him out, but have someone ready. Save the Pen for Chicago.

I agree
With Robertson, Verlander, and Miner scheduled for Chi-town,
I figure that two of those games will be reliant on the bullpen

Jimmy thought differently.. i guess they do have an off day tomorrow, huh?

For some reason, this reminded me of the Seinfeld 3rd person Jimmy
Jimmy’s new in town..Jimmy believes in his bullpen.. Jimmy smokes 27 packs a day

Here's a good idea
Put Jonesy in now, that way he’ll be too tired to work in the Chicago series
by pfuhrmeister on Jul 23, 2008 4:27 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Has Jones even made an appearance in the series?

Higginson is out in the backyard swimming in all the money the tigers gave him.

given the lingering bitterness that still, ummm, lingers (yes, it’s that bad) from the Bobby Higginson era, my answer has to be MJ

Well, Fossum made him look silly. So much for his two home runs he was going to hit today. (announcers said he said that before the game.

If Jonesy does make an appearance today
Can I at least get that one roller-coaster picture that is one of the funniest thing I’ve ever seen?

Who has better odds?
Tigers entering next year as the AL champs, or Kilpatrick still being employed by the city of Detroit?
by Oost on Jul 23, 2008 4:44 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
ooooh, good question!
I’ve give them even odds, but if I had to bet….I’d put money on the Tigers.
Unless you consider picking up trash by the highway being employed by the city…..

I think I would, too. I have a theory he’ll jump ship and take a job in Barack’s administration..he’d be good as the director of HUD…not

aaaaand Sheffield screws up….not surprised, particularly

If only Sheff wasn't getting paid so much
I could live with the horrible hitting to get his baseball smarts. Its too bad he’s getting paid so much to be a glorified coach.

doesn’t leyland know Jones can’t pitch well in a non-save situation?

Armando...
He isn’t a power pitcher in the mold of Verlander. It is really impressive that he was able to keep the perfect game going 6 1/3 when he is always around the plate.
