PrintDetroit Tigers at St. Louis Cardinals, Jun 17, 2009 8:15 PM EDT
Edwin Jackson (6-3, 2.24) vs. 
Todd Wellemeyer (5-6, 5.50), 8:15 p.m. EST
So maybe the Detroit Tigers were rusty after Monday's off-day? That's one theory we can take into the second game of this series with the St. Louis Cardinals. You can offer others in tonight's GameThread at your discretion.
Can Edwin Jackson stop the bleeding and stanch the wound that has been this three-game losing streak? He wasn't as dominant in his last start as he'd been in the previous six, struggling with his control (issuing four walks) and racking up a high pitch count. But he still gave the Tigers a chance to win after five innings, by holding the White Sox to just two runs. (By the way, either no one noticed or you were to polite to point out that I had Justin Verlander's won-loss record and ERA posted for Jackson last week. I didn't notice until the next day. Sorry about that.)
Todd Wellemeyer is totally killing one of my fantasy teams winless in his past three outings, allowing 15 runs in 18 innings. A big reason for his problems, according to MLB.com, is that his fastball is averaging around 91 m.p.h., and he was hitting 96 m.p.h. last year. In his last start, Wellemeyer gave up 11 hits to the Marlins, his second-highest total of the season. (Of course, so did Adam Wainwright, and look how he did against the Tigers last night.)
The top of tonight's Tigers lineup is a welcome change, especially at the top of the order, where Jim Leyland has bacially been crossing his fingers for far too long now. Curtis Granderson bats leadoff, with Miguel Cabrera hitting third, and Marcus Thames in the cleanup spot. Enough of serving the lefty-righty mistress. Put the best eight guys on the field.
(I'm also kind of tired of the lineup widgets not being available until 30 minutes before gametime, when they're often available elsewhere much earlier. So we're posting 'em in the comments like we used to. And if I don't get to it, anyone else is welcome to do so. Booyah.)
Finally, I forgot to mention last night that Viva El Birdos (whose former steward, Larry Borowsky, is responsible for bringing me onto BYB) has your SB Nation opposing view for this series.

Dont Worry About Mags
I will get the plastic bat out the closet…and bat for him. I got gap power…so im sure to get one double tonite! :)
That line-up looks so good
and Mr. Jackson is on the mound. It is a perfect storm of Tigerness.
Which means Jack Shit, I know.
yeah. it looks like it’s over the left shoulder instead of the right shoulder like we’re used to.

I think I’m allergic to Wellemeyer. Let’s knock him around and get him outta there.

in case you ever wondered
what beat writers do during the game, according to my twitter feed it’s trade “#nicerfilmtitles.” the Cards guys anyway
I'm checking out the 25 man roster
on the Tigers website, Christopher Sedon is listed, well, sorta, must be a mistake. In any event….
If Lucas French or Alfredo Figaro get called up to pitch Saturday, which is possible, who do you think gets sent down?
Christopher Sedon
is the guy they drafted in the 9th or 10th round. He’s listed on the 25 man roster with no number.

He's a second baseman
Why would his name even be on there? Is he on there until they assign him to a minor league team. Huh? Anybody know out there.

On the transaction list he's been sent to Oneonta
or however it’s spelled. Whole bunch of them assigned today.

We really needed a hit from Maggs There. That’s where games are won or lost. What’s wrong with him?!? I mentioned yesterday…..taking him out of the lineup for a game or two….I bet he would come back bombing away!!!

random factoid
The Tigers have the highest percentage in MLB of fly balls that were in the infield (I.e pop ups and line drives caught) with 16%
the good news is that rate can't continue
your getting very unlucky it seems. It would almost certainly have to regress to the mean at some point.

I'm forgiving,
but so far you’re team hasn’t been.
As long as you’re friendly, we’re friendly, I believe.
depends ...
Did you bring fudge?
Do you like squirrels?

Yeah I don't care
as long as you aren’t talking smack and are friendly. I just saw your entrance as an opportunity for me to drop a couple Ace Ventura quotes

I always enjoy the opposing point of view
as long as everyone’s civil, I don’t see what the problem is.
I don't either
I’m just a little wary because I was smacking hockey trolls all last weekend. :(

haha
well I think Detroit has earned the right to talk a little smack regarding hockey. regardless of this year’s result.
what blew my mind
was Pittsburghers (?) were all over the place this entire weekend. We kept asking them why they were on a Wings blog when they should be hanging out celebrating with other fans?
I know that’s what all the Wings fans I know were doing last year. Just bizarre.
(And they were mean and illiterate – a bad combination.)

I thought we pinch hit Raburn for Grandy, but I was not paying attention very well

Granderson with the hat trick?

Hey Cardinals fan
everyone I know who took this facebook quiz came back with the result we are best suited to be cardinals fans.
So either it’s rigged, the Tigers are the AL’s Cardinals, or we’re all the the Cardinals closet and not admitting it.
I’m not sure which yet.

Maybe this has nothing to do with superstitions
and more to do with the fact that Grandy is the only one actually hitting the ball tonight
Zoombaya time!

I have concluded
that the AT&T Rapid Rewind is stupid.
Not saying it’s an original take. Just sayin’ what I’m sayin’.

Hmmm
The Tigers are like the cool scene from “Highlander” — except with double plays and strikeouts.

I don't know if you've ever been to STL in the summer
but I think my eyes were going to melt today. And the bugs, my god the bugs.
lived north of Baltimore MD for a few years
Hot, sticky, humid – miserable in the city, and buggy in the country.

Still 2 more innings, kids
