PrintChicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers, Jul 26, 2009 8:05 PM EDT
Clayton Richard (3-3, 5.50) vs. 
Rick Porcello (9-6, 4.40), 8:05 p.m. EST
The Tigers have arguably already accomplished their mission for the weekend by winning three games against the White Sox this weekend. But is it wrong to be a little greedy? A four-game sweep would be a pretty definitive statement, putting the second-place team four games back.
However, I'm kind of a believer in this ESPN Sunday Night curse for the Tigers, as they don't ever seem to play well with Jon Miller and Joe Morgan are watching. (I blame Morgan hanging out by the batting cage before the game, instead of Rod Allen.)
Clayton Richard in winless in his past three starts for the White Sox, but he's coming off one of his best starts of the season. Against the Rays, Richard allowed only one run and four hits over eight innings, with seven strikeouts. The only thing keeping him from a win was Bobby Jenks blowing a save. Last time Richard faced the Tigers, he gave up three runs, five hits, and five walks in 4.2 innings at U.S. Cellular Field. On the road this year, he's 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA in seven starts.
Rick Porcello gets to show his rookie stuff to a national audience tonight. Hopefully, the added spotlight doesn't shake him (though it doesn't seem like very much rattles the kid). Porcello looked like a guy who hadn't pitched in 16 days in his last start, giving up five runs and nine hits (including two homers) in five innings versus the Mariners, but a rare nine-run outburst from the Tigers' lineup still got him the win. Young Rick has a 4-2 record and 4.71 ERA at home in eight starts.
Facing the left-handed Richard, Carlos Guillen is out of the lineup. Marcus Thames gets the start at DH. Ryan Raburn plays in left field. And batting third tonight, as he did on Friday night, is The Big Tilde, Magglio Ordonez.

I detest Joe Morgan (and Jon Miller, but to a lesser extent).
If (nay, WHEN) Detroit does well, I am bracing myself for the same kind of slurping that Grace did in the last game. I can only restrain myself from smashing them in the face because of the unalterable logic that they will feel nothing through my television, no matter how hard I punch.

In Mark Grace's defense...
He is really funny during Diamondbacks games when the Dbacks are losing, especially if it’s a blowout loss (on the other hand, if the Dbacks are winning, both he and Darron Sutton get rather pompous, particularly Sutton). Is it wrong of me to say that I enjoy watching games that the Diamondbacks lose, for that reason?
And he sure beats the hell out of Tim McCarver

I don't think so
During the hockey season, there were some bloggers that I would only read if their team was losing – not to be a troll and gloat, but just because when the team was bad their writing was immeasurably better and far more hilarious.

You know...
It’s Hall of Fame weekend. Wouldn’t Joe Morgan be there, not in Detroit?
Though if that were true, we’d never find out which talking point he would elect to incessantly repeat throughout the game.
http://tigersamateuranalysis.blogspot.com
That’s right – with the “immortals” as Jon Miller cloyingly calls them. I hope you’re right.
(At least with Zumaya on the DL, Joe won’t be able to complain about how the radar gun is off because he can’t possibly be throwing 102 mph, he can tell from the booth that he’s only throwing 99 mph.)
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -- Philo of Alexandria
yeah, he was in cooperstown
I watched some of the ceremony on mlb network, and Morgan was definitely there, whoever it was that won the Ford Frick award told a story about the 1975 world series, involving Sparky and Joe Morgan in the tale.
I suppose he could have caught a flight out of Albany and got back to Detroit in plenty of time, though.

I can’t believe this I actually get to see the game for once being over here. This is crazy. Can’t wait to see it. Go Tigers
"Sometimes life deals you lemons, I say make lemonade with them."
I feel the same way

howdy folks
Hopefully we won’t need to resort to the rally bacon tonight. I’d love to take the lead early and hold it for the full game. (Of course, I’d love for my most annoying coworker ever to magically fall mute, but that isn’t going to happen just because I want it to, either.) :)
