PrintDetroit Tigers at Houston Astros, Jun 28, 2009 2:05 PM EDT
Edwin Jackson (6-4, 2.40) vs. 
Russ Ortiz (3-3, 3.47), 2:05 p.m. EST
After losing the first two games of this weekend's series in Houston, the Tigers try to salvage a win this afternoon. Detroit has lost six of its last seven road games, with trips to Oakland and Minnesota coming this week.
Before his past two starts, the Astros' Russ Ortiz put together a streak of 17.2 straight innings without giving up a run. In his two outings since then, he's allowed five earned runs in 13 innings. Giving up the longball might have something to do with that, as Ortiz has served up three in those two games. Before that, he'd gone seven starts without allowing a home run. In 12 appearances at home this season, Ortiz is 3-3 with a 3.21 ERA.
Edwin Jackson is winless in his last three starts for the Tigers, which just doesn't seem right, considering he's allowed fewer than three runs in each of those outings. It might help if his lineup scored more than three runs for him, which Detroit hasn't done in his last six appearances. (Though the Tigers did eventually put up five runs in Jackson's last start, rallying after he'd left the game.)
Jackson's control was a bit off against the Cubs, as he issued four walks. (Apparently, getting a handle on his slider was something of an issue.) But he hasn't had back-to-back games with high walk totals, so if he follows that pattern, he should be sharp today. Jackson is 3-3 on the road this year, with a 1.89 ERA in eight starts.
Magglio Ordonez is back in the lineup, after getting last night off. So is Gerald Laird, whose back spasms apparently cleared up.

typically they’re on the road in our own region, and the USA is typically better than any team north of south america.

Also, USA is ranked 14th in the world right now by FIFA. Might get back to the top 10 after this month’s result. So it’s not that the team is bad. It’s below the best of south america and europe, of course, but can hold its own most of the time. Though that World Cup 2006 was a disappointment, they still tied the WC champions

But if I were a pitcher, and was having numbness in the fingers of my pitching hand, I think I might have mentioned it to someone so that, maybe, it could be taken care of so I’d stop sucking as a pitcher?

Because the coach of the Russian hockey team in the Olympics in 1980 talked about how no matter what he said, he couldn’t get his team to get their previous drubbing of the US team out of their heads before the game in the Olympics. They just couldn’t believe the Americans were a legitimate threat, no matter how much he told them that they could lose.

What the heck is “stoppage time?” The clock isn’t stopped at all.
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
What?
I know nothing about soccer – just if the ball goes in the net, it’s good for you, bad for the goalie.
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
It’s just not my sport.
Unlike some people who don’t like a sport (say, hockey) I don’t rip anyone who does like it, though.
Not everyone likes Italian food or Mexican food – it doesn’t make one better than the other, just that different people have different tastes.
(Although I also know that the goalies are the only guys who can hold the ball with their hands. And I do like the no commercial thing – I wish that would catch on with other sports.)
"A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams
instead of stopping the clock on an injury or other such things, they just add the time on at the end of the half.

Why can’t they just stop the clock during pauses? Tradition?
There is a button for that somewhere. It would make more sense than just tossing extra time on at the end.
