Detroit Tigers at Chicago White Sox, Jun 11, 2009 2:05 PM EDT
Edwin Jackson (6-2, 2.16) vs. 
Gavin Floyd (4-5, 5.35), 2:05 p.m. EST
UPDATE: We have rain in Chicago right now, and it looks like we could have a rather long delay. Originally, Jason Beck posted on Twitter that they were eyeing a 2:30 p.m. start, but now it might be at least an hour before they play. So if you were worried about missing today's game while you were at work, you'll probably get a chance to see some of it, after all.
With a series win over the White Sox already in the bag after last night's victory, can the Tigers take it a step further? Can they make a statement against a division rival that's brought them nothing but pain and frustration? Four out of five wins in what's been an ordeal of a series would be a fantastic way to go into the second turn of Interleague Play.
If Edwin Jackson continues the "anything you can do, I can do better" game he's been playing with Justin Verlander over the past month, it could be a quick, painless death for the White Sox lineup today. But it's difficult to imagine Jackson pitching any better than he did last Saturday, when he held the Angels to one run and four hits in a complete game performance. In his last two starts, Jackson has given up just one run in 17 innings, with 12 strikeouts and two walks.
Gavin Floyd has been very good in his last four outings, averaging a 1.82 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 29.2 innings. He also hasn't lost to the Tigers in 10 career starts, going 5-0 with a 3.88 ERA. So if the White Sox are going to salvage one more win, he might be just the guy to get it. His chances look even better, considering the lineup that Jim Leyland has put together today. Warning: It's brutal.

rain delay
Some are glad of it, some like me hate it. I was hoping to see as much of this game as possible before i head to work. :( This is a big game for the Tigers…I would love to see us 10 games over 500 real fast. But I know its not going to happen if we dont start hitting the ball a lil better. But anyway those are just a few of my thoughts as i post my first blog for Bless You Boys.

We might have to write a primer on BYB GameThreads. Something like:

Boney takes his pants off for Ryan Perry.
We have to post the Roller Coaster photo when Fernando Rodney comes in for the save.
Any other suggestions? I know there’s more.

Lineup
What do yall think of this lineup this evening? I personally like the speed. Its not like we have been hitting all that well lately. might as well have some speed out there.

lol kmann
I hear ya, of course i was referring to some defense and maybe some speed turning outs into singles..and singles into doubles…u feel me?. and Ilike wepri said….there is still a bit of power in the lineup also. so we will see….hopefully soon, cuz im tired of waiting.
by TIGERSFAN40 on Jun 11, 2009 2:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think it has good potential
we’ve still got BigMig, Curtis, and Inge who can hit for power. and the other guys will be good for small ball. This could be quite interesting.

I don't think our lineup looks any worse
than Chicago’s. There bottom 4 all look like automatic outs. (Which probably means they’ll combine to go 6-15 with 2 hr’s)
by tigerfaninChicago on Jun 11, 2009 3:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
1 error
I can understand giving players rest when a 2 ERA pitcher is on the mound, so that’s fine.
However Curtis Granderson should be batting 3rd, and Clete should be 5th. I can’t complain much, since I don’t know what their previous records against the pitching is, so that could have influenced the decision.

I was thinking the same thang…it will give me something to do at work…til everybody leaves. I was just gonna try and enjoy most of the game at home today. Guess it wasn’t meant to be. But I rather take a win…at work or at home..over a loss. funny how that shit works :)

Man-crush alert
Its coming down to either “ye olde english D” on my arm, or a giant portait of JV’s face across the entirety of my back a la Steve-o from jackass. Also in the running: Bobby Higginson’s face instead of JV’s.
I can’t remember being as excited watching a tigers game as I was last night. Literally standing up and yelling at the television when Verlander hit 98 in the 9th. I woke up this morning and watched him pitch the ninth inning again on MLB.tv because the normal routine of coffee and watching the Bill Pullman’s speech from independence day just wasn’t enough to get me jacked for the day.

I doubt Bondo will want to go back down, but he would get a lot more help down in Toledo than sitting in the pen. I was disappointed they sent Perry down in the first place – will be good to get him back up with the big club
