PrintDetroit Tigers at Texas Rangers, Jul 27, 2009 8:05 PM EDT
Armando Galarraga (5-8, 4.82) vs. 
Tommy Hunter (2-1, 2.17), 8:05 p.m. EST
The road, she has been most unkind to these Detroit Tigers recently. Can this team tame the cruel fates that have befallen away from the comforts of home over the next three games? Or will the gnarly beast, this road, again lay a smackdown on the men who wear the Old English D?
Tommy Hunter makes his second start for Texas since being called up to replace the injured Matt Harrison. And that last start was a good one. Hunter held the Red Sox to one run and four hits over six innings, retiring 10 consecutive batters at one point. He's 2-1 with a 1.52 ERA in his past four starts. Not a big strikeout guy, but he's certainly shown a talent for getting hitters out by mixing his pitches well and pounding the strike zone.
Could Armando Galarraga have pitched much better in his last start? Rediscovering the touch on his slider, Galarraga had nasty stuff against the Mariners, holding them to just one hit over 7.1 innings. Unfortunately, he didn't get the win in that game because... well, you know why. The song hasn't changed much. Galarraga has a 2-0 record and 2.77 ERA against his former team. In his one start at The Ballpark in Arlington last year, he allowed three runs and six hits over six innings while earning a win.
Lone Star Ball has your SB Nation opposing view for this three-game series. Win or lose, it's a hoot to check in on what they're saying over there. (Okay, it's probably more fun when the Rangers lose.)

Um..congratulations, I guess.
Seriously, you’re at the perfect place in your life to make a change. I did the same thing many many years ago and never regretted it. Hope everything works out for you and if not, well, Michigan isn’t going to disappear and contrary to Thomas Wolfe, you can go home again.
Soon as I graduate, I’m a ghost in this state. I’m sorry Michigan but if I stay here, I’ll be bankrupt the second first my student loan payment is due.

Not surprising
There have been rumors all week about half their rotation on the block and pretty much everyone at position not named Sizemore. This season is a three way race for the Central and CLE has no hope.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet....
But it seems Alexei Ramirez went after A.J. Pierzynski in the dugout during the Sox/Twins game a few minutes ago. From the sound of things A.J. threw wild into center on a steal attempt (I know, shocking), then blamed Ramirez for the botched play. Let’s just say Alexei didn’t take kindly to that, according to the Sox game thread.
It got posted above, but is worth being revisited.
Yeah, my buddy is a ChiSox fan and he called me about it. Apparently they’re playing like dogcrap but Danks is doing a good enough job to keep them in it. Dye had to restrain Ramierez from taking Pierzynski’s head clean off apparently.

Inge
He MIGHT go on the DL if he’s sick. He won’t go on the DL for his ailing knees. As I understand it, he asked Kevin Rand if two weeks off would fix the problem. Rand responded that it wouldn’t fix it, so Inge said he’ll play through it.
I don’t think he should DL over being sick, though.
he is going to end up
blowing out his knee if he doesn’t tend to it

Again from what I understand, it’s not that bad. More of a slightly nagging issue.
Inge is, and always has been, team first.
by john.kmiecik on Jul 27, 2009 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions
he’s been looking bad ever since the all-star break. Clearly, he’s in a lot of pain. He is definitely not helping the team

I disagree with both of you.
Who do you slot in at 3rd? Guillen’s gimpy ass? Santiago, effectively killing our SS position every other day? Raburn, who showed he’s still not ready for a starting slot?

NEW RULE
If on a close pitch the runner can get down to first before the ump calls the pitch a strike, he is credited with a walk anyway.

has two slams tonight. Trouble is if he plays for Detroit, ther’s no one on base for him to drive in with all his home runs.
Now I just feel disgusting for all the eating I'm doing
by kendra.michelle on Jul 27, 2009 10:38 PM EDT up reply actions
I can eat for you.
Well, I’m eating anyhow but you can claim I am eating for you.
Where’d I put those SweeTarts?
Oh don't worry I'm still eating
I think that more eating will cover up the gross feeling of the initial eating.
SweetTarts sound good…

Well that sucked.
We need to address Inge’s injury. Inge is tough, but this is a bit extreme. Get yourself fixed Brandon. We will need you in the postseason, unless you keep playing, in which case we won’t even make the postseason.
I read today
it would take at least a month. That would bring him back in Sept. He should do it.

I think he has to stay (maybe with a few more days off)
I just don’t see the Tigers in the playoffs without Inge’s glove
I know
I was agreeing with you. Take of it before it’s blown out, because September is very important

I'm terrified of needles
So I could never get a tattoo.

ditto
Besides, the ideas I have are probably too complicated to do easily. Too much surface area and too many pokes would be needed.

I got addicted to the feeling of it
which sounds weird, but I guess I am a masochist or something haha
we're all watching the Tigers rampant squanderage time after time
I think we all have a streak of masochism.

No wonder you keep your hair short!
Is it just for the heck of it, or does it represent something symbolic?

partially because a swallow is a fairly traditional tattoo..
and it’s partially a reference to a morrissey song
G'night, folks.
Better luck tomorrow.

No, statistics should not be COTN's unless they are funny, entertaining, remarkable
Not that that statistic isn’t awful though…
This offense is a joke.
Unless DD magically finds about 3 good bats, this team has no chance. The hitting is downright painful to watch. Lately I have been making a habit of doing other things around the house during the Tigers’ half of the inning.
