New York Yankees at Detroit Tigers, Apr 27, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
CC Sabathia (1-1, 4.81) vs. 
Justin Verlander (0-2, 9.00) , 7:05 p.m. EST
After a 5-4 road trip, the Detroit Tigers return home (and, thankfully for most of us, to the Eastern time zone) as a first-place team. For only their sixth home game of this young season, the Tigers welcome the vaunted New York Yankees to Comerica Park. (It's okay, Peter Abraham. You won't get mugged.) And the Yanks might be smarting a bit after getting swept over the weekend in Boston.
CC Sabathia was roughed up by the A's in his previous start, giving up six earned runs (and four walks) in 6.1 innings. Mr. Baggy Pants only faced Detroit once before getting traded to the National League in July, and the Tigers hung nine runs on him in just four innings. For his career, Sabathia is 13-9 with a 4.70 ERA in 26 starts versus the Tigers.
Justin Verlander doesn't have much to brag about from his last start, either. Though his stuff seems to be back, any thoughts that it was coming together for him went out the window against the Angels. Verlander gave up seven runs and nine hits in five innings, and looked traumatized in the dugout afterwards. Maybe returning to his home park will help settle him down, though the Yankees probably won't do him any favors. In his lone start against the Bronx Bombers, Verlander was bombed for eight runs (five earned) in just 1.2 innings.

Full disclosure: Yankees Fan here
A couple of us over at PA were wondering whats up with Verlander the past year or so. A lot of us felt he was gonna be the next Smotlz or something.

a lot of us Tigers fans are too
Last year, his fast ball was off. He just never seemed to get untracked. This year, his stuff has been good but he’s had innings unravel on him. 12 up, 12 down against Seattle, before he imploded in the fifth.

Indy cars are undoubtedly awesome. But why is their biggest event one where they just turn left repeatedly?
by MackAveKurt on Apr 27, 2009 7:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm rolling right now!
You must be a closet Champ Car left over! I am not sure I can answer that except to direct you to the history that is IMS. It isn’t what it used to be back in the 50’s, 60’s, or 70’s (well before my time) when you could build your own car and show up. Also, the big attraction used to be hearing Tom Carnegie say “It’s a neeeeew track record!” They don’t allow that to happen anymore, you know…for the sake of lives. If you have never been, I would highly recommend it. It is pure awesomeness.
Granted, I like street/road courses too….

I do like rally cars. Now those are real cars. You show me something that can race in the snow and mud, that’s exciting. And the little XGames style event is awsome, too.

That may be the best inning I’ve seen out of him in a couple of years. To bear down like that with two on and no one out.

I don’t mind rally racing, but if you grew up in Indiana, INDY is/was it. Like I said, if you have never been it would be well worth it. We actually camp from Friday until after the race at a school across the street. This will be my 12 year in a row. It is just something that gets ya when you’ve experienced it.

I get
WAY too excited when Everett makes contact of any kind. It’s always so surprising.

Sure
I can see the teaser now “Yanks lose fourth in a row!”

well
that’s a good teaser regardless if the Tigers beat them or not.

Last time Rodney pitched in a non-save situation
He wasn’t good

Maybe you should go back to just watching…….Mr. Positive.

When do you leave again?
Just joking….for now.

bit surprised to see Fernando here
but Leyland must really want to get the series off to a good start. … hopefully it works.
by MackAveKurt on Apr 27, 2009 9:19 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I agree.......
He pitched yesterday……..Tigers up by 4…..why bring in the closer……Zoom Zoom was warming up…..doesn’t make sense.
by MSU4LIF on Apr 27, 2009 9:22 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
he wants a save
so give up 2 and make it a save situation.

Bobby Higginson
I can’t shake his image when I see the number 4 on Everrett’s back. Anyone else?

Oh, for F's sake.
I’m leaving too. Perhaps that will help.

good thing it was a 4 run lead…is the beginning of the end for Fernando (ummm, i say heck no, for the record, but since someone’s gonna say it….)
a HR the other day, TWO WHOLE RUNS today, OMG! EEEEK! WE ARE SOO DOOOOOMED!
and then I think back to the halcyon days of Todd Jones as a closer…..and start laughing hard enough that it took me 30 second to finish typing this sentence….
by ahtrap on Apr 27, 2009 9:29 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
the way I see it
at least he’s getting it out of his system without losing.
that and Ian’s right, no more non-save situations for Rodney!
by MackAveKurt on Apr 27, 2009 9:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
agreed
he’s not going to go the whole year allowing zero runs
by ThaWalrus9 on Apr 27, 2009 9:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Back to celebrate....
well done! First game of the series win, JV looked good, and Maggs power display continues.
Great night. Feel free to come to the Yard anytime, Coach.

Good pieces!!!

Good win Tags
2 runs in the 9th don’t really bother me when it’s all said and done… I’d almost rather he get his bad outings out of the way when we have a cushion as opposed to one or two-run games.

Pinstripe Alley
WEAK.
14 comments for the whole game? I guess the Yankees ARE a small market team, so maybe it’s understandable they don’t have many rabid fans to populate their message board…
