Detroit Tigers at Oakland Athletics, Jun 30, 2009 10:05 PM EDT
Armando Galarraga (4-7, 5.65) vs. 
Gio Gonzalez (0-1, 8.03), 10:05 p.m. EST
The Detroit Tigers got this series off to a bad start, striking out 14 times in a 7-1 loss to the Oakland A's. Can they rebound tonight? Or will they inexplicably make yet another mediocre starting pitcher look good?
In his first start since being called back up from Triple-A Sacramento, Gio Gonzalez was pummeled by the Giants for six runs (four earned) and 10 hits in just 3.2 innings. He did rack up six strikeouts, however. Gonzalez faced Detroit last September at Comerica Park, giving up nine runs (eight earned) in just 1.2 innings. (Maybe you remember him giving up the 250,000th home run in major league history to Gary Sheffield, one of three longballs he served up that night.) That gives him a 43.20 against the Tigers.
Armando Galarraga finally ended his long national nightmare, a 10-game losing streak, with a win over the Chicago Cubs in his last start. He still allowed more runs than you might like to see, with four in six innings (falling behind 3-0 in the first), but the Tigers' lineup pushed him over the hump with six runs. (Two of those came on what's become an all-too-rare homer by Magglio Ordonez.) Galarraga also racked up five strikeouts, his highest total since April.
But his last start against the A's was a disaster. Galarraga couldn't even make it out of the first inning, giving up five runs, four hits and three walks. The Tigers rallied to win the game, in one of their more stirring comebacks of the season, but there was no bailing out Galarraga after that performance.
Detroit's lineup looks almost the same last night, except for Dusty Ryan getting the start at catcher. And if you're a Nomar Garciaparra fan, he's the designated hitter for Oakland tonight.

He can be in Lance Barksdale's bizarro white Barksdale Crew
Every time I see that he is an old white guy I am shocked. The Wire is gone but not forgotten.

I'll admit, I've been paying less than stellar attention to the game lately
and it took a minute to figure out why the camera man was zoomed in on Zoom’s undercarriage.

hope zoom's ok...
he had a crowd around him like there was a freak show going on

Sooo
Joel got a hang nail? or a blister. and it’s a novelty in the dugout. If that’s what it takes for him to send 1,2,3 I’ll take it.

oh now now.
it’s doesn’t take much to be an offensive upgrade from the great dane.

no... I like the score just the way it is
one more run, and it’s a non-save situation for rodney. And we all know how those turn out.

Leyland seems to go with the junior varsity lineup on getaway days
I wouldn’t be suprised to see marcus and maggs get the day off tomorrow

His batting ritual is mezmerizing.
He’s done that same exact routine ever since I first saw him come up with the Red Sox.
