Game 72: Cubs at Tigers

Ron_swanson_tiny by Ian Casselberry on in News Comment 423 comments

Chicago Cubs at Detroit Tigers, Jun 25, 2009 1:05 PM EDT


  Ted Lilly (7-4, 3.04) vs.   Armando Galarraga (3-7, 5.62), 1:05 p.m. EST

Can the Tigers push their winning streak to seven games, and their record to 10 games over .500, by finishing off an undefeated homestand before hitting the road?  It's probably not going to be easy, with today's pitching match-up.

Armando Galarraga has now gone 10 straight starts without earning a win.  He's pitched a total of six innings in his last two appearances, allowing eight runs.  And he'll probably have to go at least six today, with the Tigers using six relievers (three of whom pitched on consecutive nights) in last night's win.  But in the first two games of this series, the Cubs have squandered several scoring opportunities.  Could they finally break through against Galarraga?

Ted Lilly might also make it difficult for the Tigers to provide any run support.  While he's only earned a win in two of his last five outings, he's held the opposition to two runs or fewer in four of those games.  Lilly is 3-3 with a 4.40 ERA in seven road starts this season, but allowed only one earned run in his most recent appearances at Houston and at Atlanta.  In 690 appearances against left-handed pitching this season, the Tigers are batting .268/.346/.444 with 22 homers and 83 RBIs.

Placido Polanco and Gerald Laird get the afternoon off, with Ramon Santiago and Dusty Ryan filling in at second base and catcher, respectively.  And Ryan Raburn gets the start in left field, against the left-handed Lilly.

It's pretty clear to me

they don’t want to delay at this point. I’m expecting a wide strikezone in the ninth.

Granderslams are so rare

I wouldn’t bet on anything happening here.

Nice victory by Everett

Getting a walk after a long at bat helps the whole situation

Tigers

must lead the league in blowing Sac Fly chances….and moving runners over. But there pretty good at getting out of Jams themselves.

This guy

is an easy strikeout…. slider, slider slider!

that gap between seeing a ball right down the middle on game day, and the caption “ball in play/no out(s)” and them telling you what actualy happened has gotta be the longest two seconds ever….

Well then baseball fans

I’m out. Can’t wait for wins #8, 9, and 10 in a row this weekend.

I LOVE THESE GUYS!!!!!

I sat in the sweltering heat, I have a sunburn and my friend, she almost passed out. lol But it was worth it. Maggs brought tears to my eyes. I felt in coming, I told my friend when Maggs homers, I’m gonna need a tissue……..And the best part of all is, he sent into the opposite field…. and another tidbit, he also changed his entrance music to some hip-hop beat, couldn’t tell you what it was and I don’t care. It worked and I was happier than life to see that sweet swing. Welcome back…Magglio

Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
