PrintDetroit Tigers at Texas Rangers, Jul 29, 2009 8:05 PM EDT
Justin Verlander (11-5, 3.12) vs. 
Scott Feldman (9-3, 3.59), 8:05 p.m. EST
Can the Tigers salvage a win in Texas? Oh, and how about ending a three-game losing streak? Their starting pitcher for the evening appears to be just the guy to help them do that.
Justin Verlander pitched a complete game in his last start, giving the Tigers exactly the kind of outing they needed in the first game of a day-night doubleheader. He was helped in part by the offense giving him an early lead, but as we've seen in recent games, that doesn't always mean a lot. But Verlander made that lead hold up. (Some late-inning insurance runs may have helped, as well.)
Verlander has enjoyed quite a bit of success against the Rangers in his career, compiling a 5-1 record and 2.13 ERA. (That includes two wins in Arlington.) On the road this year, however, he's 4-5 with a 4.76 ERA.
For the Rangers, Scott Feldman has been some kind of impressive in his past six starts. In each of those games, he's allowed three or fewer runs. And in his last start, he shut out the Royals for eight innings, giving up only four hits. Feldman has a 3-2 record and 3.72 ERA in nine starts at home this season. This will be the first time he's faced the Tigers this year. He started against them once in 2008, allowing three runs and five hits in six innings.
Clete Thomas gets the night off, with a left-hander pitching. Marcus Thames will start in left field. Brandon Inge will also get some rest for his aching knee between tonight and tomorrow's off-day. Ryan Raburn fills in at third base.

Last time I was at Barnes and Noble
I found a book called Benchclearing. I leafed through it, and it was one of the strangest reads ever. Imagine if an account of the Nolan Ryan-Robin Ventura brawl was written by a romance novelist, and you’d have this book.

I am still amazed...
that Ventura was suspended and Ryan did not get as much as a reprimand. Ryan beat the living hell out of him.
My player of the game vote went to
G$. He manufactured a run mostly alone. He is deserving

I think we have a good idea about who our most overpaid guys are ...
But who do you think is our most underpaid?

all seriousness I would say Clete

honestly
no one really pops out to me as being that underpaid… maybe Galarraga

Yeah Galarraga was the only one that stood out to me
by kendra.michelle on Jul 29, 2009 10:21 PM EDT up reply actions

Galarraga makes way too little

Has anyone ever figure out...
what the hell that song is about?
Really
It’s like, this is wonderful, but they can’t spread these out over more games so they, you know, win more?
by kendra.michelle on Jul 29, 2009 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm serious.
How can this team not hit the broad side of a barn forever, then rack up 12 runs?
by john.kmiecik on Jul 29, 2009 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions
see just mock him as being a singles hitter
and boom, home run time

See what Miggy can do when he relaxes and doesn't have so much damn pressure to carry the team?
I love it… let’s save some of these runs, though eh?

Dear diary,
It’s me again, Edwin.
Today I found out the team has been lying to me. The scoreboard showed more than 1 or 2 runs on the DET side. I thought I was imagining things at first but according to some old guy in the dugout who curses alot, this sort of “score” can happen.
I wish I could get runs… and a pony but mainly the runs… and the pony.
Your friend,
Edwin.
PS: Send runs.
YAY!
Loons win 4-2 and I come home, flip on the television, and Cabrera hits a homer!

for once I'm glad the game is later
The last few innings I was wishing they would move a little quicker so I could see the rest of the Tigers.

Would love it if they showed Leyland right now

3-2 Twins
End 8.
I’d much rather have the Twins nipping at our rears than the Sox. The Twins aren’t going to go the distance, and if the Sox fade we’ll have a much better chance at the division outright.
