Javier Vazquez vs. 
Jeremy Bonderman, 1:05 p.m. EST
If today's match-up has a familiar ring to it, Javier Vazquez and Jeremy Bonderman faced each other on television 10 days ago. Here we go again.
Bondo's appearance comes after Jim Leyland announced yesterday that he was "highly unlikely" to make his first turn in the rotation, which probably would've been in Detroit's fourth or fifth game of the season. With Opening Day just over a week away, he has a lot of stamina to build. Depending on how Bonderman performs today, a trip to the disabled list to begin the year could be a possibility.
For your viewing purposes, Bondo should be done with his work for the day before many of you switch over to CBS for the Michigan State-Louisville game at 2 p.m. EST. (And judging by how many Spartans we have in the BYB Brigade, along with how many picked MSU in the BYB Bracket Blowout, I imagine that will draw some interest. If it's anywhere near as good as last night's Villanova-Pittsburgh game was, hoo boy.)

the clouds have broken
and I can hear Mario’s voice… it’s like velvet mixed with peanut butter (Who’s Joe Buck?)

It’s tough to walk Garrett Anderson. Thankfully is close to impossible to walk Francouer.

Francouer
Maybe he should have tried to walk him.

I bet Bondo was working on something with that pitch.

Velocity
I wish they had the gun up for the viewers to see… I bet he’s still throwing slow. That pitch to Franc looked like batting practice
over and out
going to switch to the Spartans game.. if anyone is watching the Tags game — updates on here?
Inge-tastic!
That sounded like a home run as soon as he made contact. 2-run shot, Tigers take the lead.

far as I remember
Galarraga appears to be on tap for the home opener. So the 3 and 4 spots are the ones that are open.

Guillen's fielding
Hate to say it… looks a lot like Barry Bonds at the end of his career. At least he’s getting to everything.
not to get ahead of myself
