Game 161: White Sox at Tigers
Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers, Oct 3, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Freddy Garcia (2-4, 4.78) vs.
Alfredo Figaro (2-1, 5.74), 7:05 p.m. EST
Well, if the Tigers wanted to make this weekend simple, they did it by losing last night to the White Sox. Detroit could really only afford to lose one game, if they wanted to keep the AL Central completely in their hands.
Any chance for some help went up in smoke with Zack Greinke and the Royals just losing 5-4 to the Twins. So if this team needed to feel a wall against their back to give them some more urgency, the wall is there.
Everyone in Tiger Town would certainly appreciate a repeat performance from Freddy Garcia. Last Saturday in Chicago, Garcia was cruising with a 5-0 lead through four innings, having only allowed one hit. The Tigers chipped at that lead in the next two innings before blowing it open with a four-run seventh.
That ended Garcia's streak of six consecutive quality starts. His career record at Comerica Park is 6-3 with a 4.09 ERA in 11 starts.
Alfredo Figaro gets the spot start for Detroit after Rick Porcello's turn in the rotation was pushed back because of Monday's rainout. Jim Leyland really didn't have much choice in picking someone to fill in, but Figaro's outing in last Saturday's comeback win might have strengthened that belief. Figaro's 2.2 scoreless innings (with only one hit allowed) kept the White Sox down while the Tigers rallied.
One big question, however, is how much stamina Figaro will have, as he hasn't pitched more than four innings since late June.
The Tigers' batting order pretty much the same as they did last night, except for Adam Everett starting at shortstop. Aubrey Huff is in the lineup, as he's 10-for-24 versus Garcia with two homers and four RBIs. He's switched spots with Carlos Guillen, however, and is now batting sixth.

Look at it this way.
If you have to rely on the Kansas City Fucking Royals, on the last weekend of the season, to help you win the division… there is a good chance that you do not deserve to win that fucking division.

But as painful as this is, I just don’t have it in me to hate the Twins.

Gardenhire pitches Blackburn on 3 days rest
because he’s focussed on winning the division. Leyland holds back his best pitchers and goes with the rookie Figaro because he is focussed on beating the Yankess (a team that is likely going to clean our clock no matter what we do).
Translation: Leyland needs to get his head out of his ars.
Pitch JV tonight, Porcello tomorrow and stay the hell away from the metrodome.

I disagree
He was hedging his bets, making Porcello available in the event of a one-game playoff and figuring that winning 2 of 3 with Jack/Verlander was likely. I can’t fault him.

On both counts. I hate the Twinkies, but I like fans of any team who have the class to not act like jackasses on an opposing team’s board.
It’s one thing to gloat among your own people, but it’s impolite to go to someone else’s place and do the same. Simple courtesy.

if I go to another team's board
I don’t yell at them for trash talk and stuff, because that’s their internet home. I offer quick condolences if my team beat them in a playoff series, congrats if they were the winners, and go back to my own people to exult in victory or cry on each other’s shoulders.
I hate, HATE the guys who gloat right after a loss. It’s classless – give them 24 hours or so to get over a loss, and then most fans are okay with handling the trash talk from opponents.

back in the old days when it came to the playoffs this 5 days rest business
was baloney. You used your best because there was no tomorrow.
Mickey Lolich won three games in 7 games in 68. Verlander and Porcello should be able to do pitch on four days rest if needed.

I remember 1984 when the Cubs were in the playoffs. (My mom is a Cubs fan.) My sister and I would walk home from school, and we’d find mom crouched on the living room carpet in front of the television, bouncing up and down with excitement and yelling “come on, Cubbies!”
She’d barely notice when we came in the front door unless we got in the way of her view of the television. :)
(She is also a firm believer that if a pitcher loads the bases with no one out, she needs to go in the next room until he gets out of the inning.)
