Game 86: Indians at Tigers
Cleveland Indians at Detroit Tigers, Jul 11, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Carl Pavano (7-7, 5.36) vs.
Armando Galarraga (5-7, 5.03), 7:05 p.m. EST
During the spring, Carl Pavano was a reason most people (including me) changed their preseason AL Central pick from the Indians to the Twins. ("If Carl Pavano is Cleveland's #3 starter, their starting pitching can't be good." And Pavano is now the Tribe's #2 starter, after Fausto Carmona crapped out and was sent to the minors.)
Of course, Pavano did beat the Tigers the last time he faced them. The last time the Indians visited Comerica Park, he held Detroit to two runs and five hits over 7.1 innings, earning his first win of the season. Pavano has also pitched pretty well lately, giving up two runs in each of his past two starts, with nine strikeouts in 13.2 innings.
Someone else pitching well in recent weeks is Armando Galarraga. He's won two of his past three starts, and was deprived of a win in his last outing when the Tigers' bullpen couldn't hold onto a slim one-run lead. (We are looking at you, Joel Zumaya and Fernando Rodney.) Before he left that game after seven innings, however, Galarraga gave up just one run and five hits, and struck out seven Royals batters. If he's finally regained the feel for his slider, Detroit's starting rotation suddenly looks much better.
But it didn't go so well for Galarraga the last time he faced the Tribe. In early May at Comerica Park, the Indians roughed him up for five runs in five innings (though the Tigers almost let him off the hook for a loss with an eighth-inning comeback that fell just short). Galarraga has a 3-1 record and 4.84 ERA in six career starts against Cleveland.

Fun Random Useless Fact:
This is the first time since 2005 that Justin Verlander has NOT started the Negro Leagues Tribute game. I love Justin to death, but I was getting a little curious as to how the other starting pitchers looked in those wacky throwback uniforms.
I probably won’t hang around here much (if at all), but I’m pulling for you, Armando! Lance el bueno eslaĆder y el bueno sinker!

Watching the Indians' pregame right now.
I’m so sick of the Indians playing the “run support” card for Cliff Lee. They never think to acknowledge that Verlander and Jackson are extremely good pitchers too!

Hey, that reminds me
I missed your Seahawks question last night. I had them listed as my favorite NFL team before the Lions fired Millen, because I just couldn’t take it anymore. Why the Seahawks? No good reason, other than my good friend lives in Seattle, and I thought I might start following them.
I’m a NFL fan in search of a favorite team (though, really, I’d like it to be the Lions).
by Ian Casselberry on Jul 11, 2009 6:57 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The Lions will have a hard time turning things around.
But in today’s NFL they may find success in the next 2-3 years.
I avoided Seahawks fandom and am a Dolphins fan. That whole losing thing was weird.

Red Wings are classic, Tigers are classic, Lions unis are far better than the team – only the Pistons really went askew uniform-wise.

I was actually thinking of the Buffalo Sabres
They change their logos more than most people change their socks.
Current logo (for the moment anyway) is THIS mostrosity:

Could be a slug, could be Trump’s toupee – the fans are divided but it is almost universally hated. Hockey has some of the most dreadful logos and uniforms EVER.

I can't keep up with NHL logo changes.
They really have no clue about establishing an identity and keeping that identity it seems (to me at least).
I hated the Angry Red/Black buffalo and I dearly want the blue logo back.

depends on the team
Many teams have real problems with maintaining a brand identity – thankfully the Wings aren’t one of them. I think the fans would revolt if they decided to “modernize” or “restyle” the logo and uniform. Updates are if your uniform is sucky – if it’s fine, leave it the hell alone.

Wore their orange and blue numbers a few times this year as their third jerseys – if I were commish, I would make them wear those all the time. Awesome.
I’d also stop the god-awful trend of everyone having black uniforms. A few are fine, but more than that is just horrible.

Hard to tell from thread we're down only one run
I live in a Tigers blackhole (within blackout region but local broadcast is Chicago Sports) I check the thread occasionally for updates. I came here just now and from what I saw in the thread I figured we’re getting blown away – then I checked several Internet sources and found we’re only down one run. Why the somber mood? Last I knew Cleveland did not have enough of a bullpen to keep us down.
