Game 92: Mariners at Tigers

Seattle Mariners at Detroit Tigers, Jul 22, 2009 7:05 PM EDT


  Felix Hernandez (10-3, 2.51) vs.   Armando Galarraga (5-8, 5.09), 7:05 p.m. EST

Any chance for another slugfest at the CoPa tonight? 

Felix Hernandez might have something to say about that.  King Felix hasn't lost in his past 10 starts, giving up more than two earned runs in only one of those games.  (In seven of those outings, he's allowed one run or less.)  On the road this season, he has a 6-1 record and 1.97 ERA in 11 starts.  Earlier this season, Hernandez faced the Tigers in Seattle, allowing three runs and seven hits over six innings, adding six strikeouts.

Armando Galarraga seemed to be making some progress in his past two or three starts.  That is, until his last game before the All-Star break, during which he gave up four runs and nine hits to the Indians in six innings.  In 10 starts at home this season, Galarraga has a 3-4 record and 4.97 ERA.  He faced the Mariners once last season at Safeco Field, allowing one run and five hits over six innings. 

Brandon Inge is out of the lineup tonight, resting a left knee with a "75% torn" tendon in it.  Inge doesn't plan on going to the DL, however, unless he'd be able to fully heal in 15 days.  Barring that, he's going to tough it out and plans to be in the lineup tomorrow afternoon.  Ryan Raburn fills in tonight at third base.

And are you ready for a lineup with Clete Thomas batting cleanup?  That's what we're getting tonight, Tiger Town.

Cabrera is a first baseman. One of the best first basemen in the AL.

Also, Brandon just said that he would not go on the 15-day DL unless they could fix absolutely everything in that time. Which they couldn’t.

Taco Bell chihuahua died yesterday

My neighbor was one of the guys who came up with the original idea for the ads, and after proposing it to Taco Bell and being turned down, saw their idea turned into the most famous ad campaign for the company. Then he sued their ass, became a multi-millionaire and moved away a year or two ago.

not with copper

Although I do know that you can deorderize a smelly drain by dumping down a half-cup or so of baking soda, adding another half-cup of white vinegar, letting it foam for a few minutes, and then flushing it down with hot water.

I didn’t think it would actually work, but it couldn’t do any damage, so I tried it – and it really did take care of the odor in the sink.

I started discussing Tigers with some people sitting at the bad but I think I started getting too analytical about it with them and it got to be over their head. They probably only know Verlander and Cabrera.

don’t get it. I work with this chick and I am always talking about the Tigers, so she said let’s go to a game. I got tickets for when the Cubbies were in town and we went to that game when it was like 95 in the shade. So anyway, Maggs was up and hit that home off of Lilly and everyone started cheering and yelling. I looked and she was just sitting in the seat and when I sat down she asked me “what happened, did someone do something good?” She later admitted she had no idea who was who and what team was up and when.

The deer in central Michigan are pretty blase. It’s like campus squirrels.

I’ve seen deer, raccoons, skunks (from a safe distance, to be sure), herons, plenty of turkeys, a couple foxes, and a bald eagle in town. When I was in college I saw a very lost snowy owl during an unusually severe winter.

Do you remember what game thread it was part of?

by wepri31 on Jul 22, 2009 9:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

no, but here it is again

—one box plain white cake mix (I use the store brand ‘cause at the Meijer where I shop it’s only 85 cents)
—three large eggs
—one pint of premium ice cream, melted (you need two cups, and the cheaper stuff has too much air in it and deflates) – so far Cherry Garcia from Ben & Jerry’s is a thumbs up, and so is choclate fudge brownie

Preheat the over to 350 degrees F.
Spray a 13″ × 9″ pan with cooking spray. Or wipe it with vegetable oil. Or wipe it with a margarine wrapper.

In a big bowl, mix the melted ice cream, eggs, and cake mix. If you have a beater it will be easier, but you can just use a wooden spoon and stir and stir and stir and stir – it’s tiring but it still works. The batter is really thick.

Pour it in the pan and spread it to the edges, and bake for about 38 to 42 minutes or until it pulls away from the edges of the pan and bounces back when you press it. Let it cool and frost it if you want to.

It’s very moist and hard to overbake.

Good luck. :-)

I had to do a double take, I was like “wait did he just say that?”

I was just telling ian

I never picture him having an accent so when he opens his mouth I’m always like… “whaaaaaa??”

So do I

I really hope his knees don’t pose a problem for him at all.

I'm fine with him trying to play through it...

As long as:

A) He can’t do any further damage to the tendons in his knees.
B) He still can produce both offensively and defensively at a decent level.

Shame it had to happen this year, though.

I am much more concerned about defense at this point.

The offense, poor as it is, cannot cover for any free outs.

This ain’t the first time this has happened to Armando. In fact, the exact same thing happened in his lone start against Seattle last year (although he pitched a lot better tonight than he did at Safeco).

Rays making it interesting.

1st and 3rd, two out. Let’s hope for a wild pitch.

And, that's it.

Longoria retired. The lead is back to one.

Tonight may be our last night alone in first.
