Detroit Tigers at Chicago White Sox, Jun 10, 2009 8:11 PM EDT
Justin Verlander (6-2, 3.26) vs. 
John Danks (4-4, 5.10), 8:11 p.m. EST
Okay, so enough of this slowly improving Armando Galarraga, still recovering Jeremy Bonderman, and whatever you'd call Dontrelle Willis. Let's get to the good stuff in the Tigers' starting rotation. With a victory tonight, Detroit would clinch a series win, and their two best guys are pitching the next two days.
It's a borderline criminal offense that Justin Verlander didn't get the win in his last start. (Make a mug shot of either the Tigers lineup that couldn't score him any runs or Fernando Rodney for coughing up two runs in the ninth inning. It's your choice.) He shut out the Angels over eight innings, holding them to just four hits, along with seven strikeouts and four walks.
However... if Verlander has had a nemesis that's constantly thwarted him, it's the Chicago White Sox. In 14 career starts against the south siders, he has a 2-9 record and 5.90 ERA. And U.S. Cellular Field has not been his happy place. Verlander is 0-6 in eight appearances, with a 5.92 ERA.
John Danks? Let me tell you something about John Danks. Dude served up three home runs in his last start. And two of them were back-to-back jacks, by Travis Hafner and Ryan Garko. Danks is winless in his past two games, giving up nine runs in 11 innings. Against the Tigers, he's 2-1 with a 4.00 ERA in six appearances.
After Curtis Granderson batting leadoff, it's an all-right-handed lineup against the lefty Danks. Here are your starters:

Hawk
I hate Hawk Harrelson. I hate him. I hate him openly rooting for the White Sox, and I wish “he gone”.

I'm in Norfolk, VA...
… and I guess it comes with the “Extra Innings” package with Cox Cable. Sometimes I get Mario and Rod, sometimes I get the other crew. I don’t always mind getting the opponents announcing team (like the Angels for instance, whatever their names were) because they can offer a different perspective or a different philosophy. But I draw the line when in comes to the White Sox. I absolutely hate Hawk Harrelson.

and yes,
you can put Hawk in a can-o-corn.

What?
Is the game on Comcast Sportsnet (or whatever it’s called)? I don’t get that, I am blacked out of MLB.TV on the laptop, the Scrubs are on WGN, and guess who on the four letter.
Anyone ever seen “Falling Down”? Ya, I’m there.

I'm right there with you...
“he gone” is the most annoying phrase in baseball broadcasting history
by Ohio Tiger on Jun 10, 2009 8:14 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
While Harrelson is, by definition, terrible, he really is like no other broadcaster I’ve ever heard, which gives me a train-wreck like obsession with his broadcasts, and only Tom Hamilton of the Indians comes anywhere near as entertaining for me to listen to when the Tigers are beating their teams.
Now if only wins at Chicago and Cleveland would be a little less hard to come by as they have in recent years.

Oh, my! What an outing!

Wow, I didn't mean to do this.
I’m so sorry JV. I’m sure your wife must hate you now.

J…jjjj…justin. v…v..v.v…..verlander.

Ah, he's a pro ballplayer
He’s cheated on her already

I'm sure she doesn't like his nastiness on gameday
He’s such a jerk sometimes…

He's the new Lincecum...

He will have a million strikeouts
and the world will celebrate.

We should clone Verlander.
And E-Jax while we’re at it. Then we can convert Dontrelle to an outfielder. Then we will win many games.
Also, there would also be much Verlander-loving to go around…since I know you all want it.

Tough job for Ian...
picking the comment of the night. There are some gems tonight.
by rook34 on Jun 10, 2009 10:31 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I have a feeling
the comment will be about Verlander, somehow.

Literally lol-ing
this is an awesome night for comments

They ask that every day in this city, regardless of how the baseball teams are doing.

which makes less sense than anywhere!

A song I'm working on...
I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know JV
will pitch a gem and wow the crowd
and do us all, maybe.
After that, I get overwhelmed and can’t think anymore.

omg that's hilarious
how about “tigers fan” instead of “American”?

Oh, should have thought of that
I feel like it’s lacking now…

it's lacking nothing!
perish the thought. you are fantastic lyricist, sir.

Honestly
can you imagine Nelly doing any form of God Bless the USA?
I’m thinking more along the lines of Tim McGraw or myself or maybe Justin Verlander himself. If he can carry a team, I’m sure he can carry a tune.

I’ll be here until the Tigers win the World Series and then I won’t be here.

Wow
Saw the highlights on ESPN. JV with his best stuff is insane. It’s almost like he has a knuckle ball and the batters don’t know where the ball is going to end up or how fast it is going. Except he has a killer curveball, blazing fastball, and a great low change up.

So.
It would make me happy if the Twins would lose.
