Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins, Jul 5, 2009 2:10 PM EDT
Rick Porcello (8-5, 3.90) vs. 
Nick Blackburn (6-4, 3.10), 2:10 p.m. EST
And so we've arrived at the halfway point of the 2009 season. The Tigers will return to Detroit still in first place, which might be seen as a victory in itself among many in Tiger Town. But can they also leave Minneapolis with a series win?
For the Twins, Nick Blackburn has lost his past two starts, giving up 21 hits in 14 innings. Yet he somehow allowed only five earned runs in those two games, extending a streak in which he's given up three runs or fewer to eight games. In his last start against the Tigers, however, Blackburn allowed several more runs than that. At Comerica Park in early May, he was roughed up for six runs and nine hits in just 3.1 innings. Blackburn has yet to lose at home this season, posting a 3-0 record and 2.61 ERA in six starts.
In his last start, Rick Porcello pitched one of the worst games of his rookie season, giving up nine hits in just 4.1 innings versus Oakland. That was the highest number of hits he's allowed since his debut in Toronto, in the second shortest of his 15 starts this season. Porcello's best start of the year, however, came against these Minnesota Twins in that early May series at Detroit. In seven innings, he held the Twins scoreless, allowing only four hits. On the road this year, he's 5-3 with 3.72 ERA in eight starts.
Miguel Cabrera has a .444/.444/.889 batting line against Blackburn, with one homer and six RBIs in nine at-bats. (The Tigers' next best hitter vs. Blackburn is in Toledo, with Clete Thomas batting .500/.500/1.083 with one homer and four RBIs.) Both Brandon Inge and Marcus Thames are 0-for-7.

I don't get tennis because they can't count properly
But I was rooting for Andy Roddick because he is the underdog and then I got really nervous so now I can’t watch it.

Agreed,
not a tennis fan at all, but they are great athletes (if you have ever tried to play, it is HARD!). Would love to see Roddick pull it out.

great athletes, but a sport more fun to play than watch
I assume it’s fun to play anyway. I’d rather golf.

It's fun to play
unless it’s 90 degrees with 80% humidity

Seems like this match will go on forever
Federer can’t break Roddicks serve!
by explosivo2k2 on Jul 5, 2009 1:12 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's why I can't watch!
I started off just kind of thinking it would be nice if Roddick could win, because Federer has a butt-load of trophies and Roddick gets so much crap from people, but not thinking he had a chance – and once it did look like he had a little bit of a chance I got nervous.
I don’t get the sport so I can’t look at it and think in my own head what someone needs to do to win, so it’s more stressful than if I understood it. Or considering my baseball and hockey-generated heart failures, maybe not.

I don't even know the right terminology
But I don’t know why they count 0 – 15 – 30 – 40 either. Tennis is strange.

Yeah the scoring is extremely strange
You have to win 6 games to win a set, and you have to win 3 sets to win the match (in men’s Tennis at least, women’s is only 2 sets)
Oh and to win a set, you also have to have won at least 2 more games than your opponent (i.e. you can’t win 6-5, you have to win 7-5 or 8-6, etc)

I don't think that counts the one the other day where he lined to the 1st baseman and doubled up.. Raburn I think
by explosivo2k2 on Jul 5, 2009 1:35 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
it doesn’t count in the GIDP category.
It’s a hard luck double play. He hit it hard but at the wrong place. I think Raburn would have been doubled up even if he’d frozen instantly, though

One guy who I can’t seeing with that kind of attitude is Mickey Redmond. Also Mario Impemba seems like he would be pretty approachable.

I participated in such a thing before
A classmate of mine in college was doing local broadcasting as an internship deal – he actually was very good at it – and was with a jerk who was so full of it his eyes were brown. And my friend really had (past tense) a lot of respect for him, and was asking him if he wouldn’t mind giving him any advice. Jackass brushed him off with “you either got it or don’t, kid – some things can’t be taught.” (Such as class, obviously.)
So I got together some friends and we MOBBED him after his spot and asked for autographs and such, including one girl who asked him to autograph her chest right above the neckline of her tank top (it was his fiancee, so it was okay), and then one of us (who may have been me) turned to Mr. Jackass and asked, all innocent-like, “are you his assistant for this assignment? That’s so sweet of you to help him! Isn’t he doing a wonderful job?”
I thought his head was going to explode. The best part of it was that my friend didn’t know we were going to do this – all he knew was that a few of his friends were going to show up for moral support. Total surprise. :)

We proceed to make them look like Cy Young.

Oh, I know
And I do watch most of them, just because I love the team so much – but it’s a lot harder when you play a two-week stretch of nothing but the Minnesota Trappist Wonks and Nashville and the Blues. So frustrating. :(
Although at least with a much better division next year it will make the games with Columbus and Nashville and even the Blues actually mean something, and Minnesota claims to be more offensive, so that will be better. Much tougher for the Wings, especially providing half the Swedish Olympic team, and it scares me a little, but if they can survive they will be in good shape for the playoffs. If they can survive.

During the Sixth Inning interview:
Agent Smith: Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you’re fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for the fans? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as the twins. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can’t win. It’s pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?

They are San Jose Sharks level chokers. Although they are stepping it up and being lousy now instead of waiting until the end of the season this time.

They are above and beyond the Sharks.
The Sharks made the playoffs, the Mets meltdowns have been heroic and horrific. Of course I have Mets fans friends and they are shellshocked.

Sharks are getting there, though.
This year they gagged in the first round instead of the second, and it’s easier to get into the playoffs in hockey than baseball.

Yeah but I expected them to lose against the Ducks.
I think it was more due to 90s Red Wings flash backs than anything else though. I still have nightmares about the SCF against the Devils.

And give you a personal apology for the emotional pain he has inflicted on you?
He would have to grovel and be very apologetic, of course.

JMauer: Like what I’ve done with the place?
Neo: It ends tonight.

couple weeks ago, Blackburn was shutting the brewers down...
up 3-0 and then the brewers got a couple in and Kendall hit a double to drive the third in, the ball gets by the catcher, Blackburn tries to gun Kendall at third and throws it into left field, ballgame brewers 4-3. Dare we hope for a repeat?
