PrintDetroit Tigers at Chicago White Sox, May 7, 2009 8:11 PM EDT
Armando Galarraga (3-1, 3.07) vs. 
Mark Buehrle (4-0, 3.30), 8:11 p.m. EST
If you thought a two-game series against the White Sox was a bit too long, how does a one-gamer suit you? Thanks to last night's rainout, that's what we're left with. And since both starting pitchers were pushed back to tonight, we're running our notes from last night again. Hey, we endorse recycling here at BYB.
Armando Galarraga has won one of his last three starts, and perhaps it's not a coincidence that his walk totals have increased during that period. In his last 16 innings, Galarraga's given up 11 walks. As you might expect, that's racked up his pitch counts and chased him from games earlier than the Tigers would prefer. And that doesn't look like the same pitcher that was so impressive last season (and in his first two starts this year).
Mark Buehrle appears to have regained his ace status in the White Sox starting rotation. Not only hasn't he lost a game this season, but he's working efficiently, keeping his pitch counts low, and walking very few hitters (nine in 30 innings). Buehrle also hasn't given up more than three runs in any of his five starts this year.
Clete Thomas's 3-for-4 performance on Tuesday earns him another night of batting third. (The Cult is pleased.) Curtis Granderson, however, returns to his customary leadoff spot. Magglio Ordonez moves up to bat fifth, remaining as the designated hitter. And could this be one of the last chances for Ryan Raburn to prove he's worth keeping around as a right-handed reserve bat?

Does the last sentence that reads,
“And could this be one of the last chances for to prove he’s worth keeping around as a right-handed reserve bat?” refer to Mags, OR to Raburn (me thinks). Not too clear though.
Then again, I just got home from a beautiful day the the Indianapolis Motor Speedway! Cleaned the cooler OUT.
Mecca, it is.
Oops
I don’t know how I deleted Ryan Raburn’s name there, but that’s who I meant.
Thanks for pointing that out.
I blame the lineup widget
I think I accidentally had it inserted in the middle of that last paragraph.

The Tigers were done by 8:13. Seriously.

Oh, for cripes sakes!
2 walks already. Rough start.

How did that ball drop fair?
Konerko sliced one down the right-field line that dropped right inside.
Oh my gosh!
This game is as bad as the game my grandson’s little league team just played.
Might have been......
….cant walk guys that arent hitting

This is the first time THIS year
that I am glad that I can’t watch. Why in the world they blackout Chicago (both), St. Louis, and Cincinnati in the Indianapolis market is just another Selig (yep, used as a verb).
Bats gota start up.....
……If galaraga can get out this inning its a good sign……Lets get the sticks going
KC is Killing me
I bet against KC three times this week. All of a sudden they are the best team in Baseball WTF Taking the Angles Big Time tomorrow
You would do that to the poor man?

Your right he is to good for the City of Detroit. He would make the city a postive city

your right but when only 15% keep on voting idiots will still be elected in the city

maybe bing will turn her around
for some reason I trust athletes more than straight up politicians when it comes to…..political matters.
Is that weird?
I don’t think so.
It isn’t just that he’s an athlete – he’s been a good businessman afterwards, so he isn’t purely trading on his name to get elected.
I wish him all the luck in the world.

Lions will win 4 games this year. I hope for more but I want to be realistic
by jerseyboyinmi on May 7, 2009 8:51 PM EDT up reply actions
Id take That....
…..they had a great draft and are heading in the right direction

Four is a million times better than zero. It will take time to fumigate all the Millen-ness out of the Lions.

It will take two to three years to get past the Millen mess

Don’t you mean weighing us down?
Carrying is positive! :)
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
And a shutout, too! Don’t forget not allowing any runs at all.
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
Actually
He’s got a perfect game going.
I repeat, a perfect game.
You hear me baseball gods? I mentioned it. So make it stop. Thanks.
Burly. For not giving in to our jinxing mojo. And for spelling his name funny. :)

Sorry. I’m not a regular here so I forget that I have to explain myself more. I’ll try to be clearer in future.

Thought That what....
….ya ment after I posted
by BennieBladesFan on May 7, 2009 9:02 PM EDT up reply actions
At least two
And then there was the one to Ronny Cedeno, which was practically his first career homer.
by Ian Casselberry on May 7, 2009 9:02 PM EDT up reply actions
At least he only gave up ONE run that inning. Improvement!
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
I think Mario and Rod need to start talking about the perfect game/no hitter
Specifically. Since they’re in the ball park.
“This might be the best we’ve seen him pitch against Detroit.”
They are trying. But try harder, guys.
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
Well...
2007 was pretty good. C’mon now.
by Ian Casselberry on May 7, 2009 9:10 PM EDT up reply actions
Im 90% there....never give up
hard to win when you dont score though
by BennieBladesFan on May 7, 2009 9:12 PM EDT up reply actions
I am sticking around to see the perfect game.
by jerseyboyinmi on May 7, 2009 9:13 PM EDT up reply actions
I’m still watching because this is way more soothing than contemplating the Red Wings game later. :(
(And if Beuerhlehy pitches a perfect game, I want to see it.)
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
yeah
and if the Wings survive, it still might be more late games with Vancouver

I hate Anaheim. HATE that whining team of cheap-shotters.

Way to go, Mario – emphasizing the perfect game he has going.
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
Had to take a break from studying to say...
This is ridiculous. Buerhle’s good, but he’s not THAT good.
I am so gonna cry if we get perfect gamed. Or even no-hit
http://tigersamateuranalysis.blogspot.com
well at least their getting shut down by a guy that's pitching well this year
If Contreras would of no hit them, I’d be going batpoop crazy
http://www.fromthecopa.blogspot.com/
This IS continuing a weird trend I had noticed going in...
Ever since last Friday, whichever team had the starting pitcher with the higher ERA would win the game. So far, that trend has continued.

This is true. A good sign for him that he has been pretty okay this game.
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
He has a better era at home than on the road though
by jerseyboyinmi on May 7, 2009 9:27 PM EDT up reply actions
Hmmm...
That’s pretty much the exact opposite of last year, when he got most of his wins on the road.

by SabreRoseTiger on May 7, 2009 9:28 PM EDT up reply actions
maybe we can start to platoon our rotation
based on wins/losses on the road versus at home. just a thought.
Monica Conyers
I just heard she is trying to stay as City Council President. WTF FBI throw her butt in Jail already
well
I guess we mind as well have an all around crappy game and get it out of the way all at once. seems like this year typically we rebound from a beating well.
Did I mention how happy I am that I CAN'T watch this!
It is so perplexing though, that we can score 9 runs one game and hit the ball all over the field, and then this…..granted, Blackburn ain’t no Buehrle either, but Buehrle ain’t no Cy Young.
Unravelling pitcher, perhaps?
We can only hope.

as soon as i started texting everyone it worked....
JINX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a complete beating!

lets go Canucks-Hawks
so we’ll actually be able to see the beginning of the game
