Kansas City Royals at Detroit Tigers, Jul 7, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Bruce Chen (0-2, 4.38) vs. 
Justin Verlander (8-4, 3.54), 7:05 p.m. EST
Usually, we like to devote a paragraph to each starting pitcher in these game previews, to give you an idea of what might be expected in the game to come. But I think I'm keeping it short and sweet tonight. Because if the Detroit Tigers cannot win a game in which Justin Verlander starts against Bruce Chen... well, then the All-Star break can't come soon enough.
Although maybe we shouldn't presume anything, as both Verlander and Chen are winless in their last two starts. And neither pitcher has received very much run support, with the Tigers scoring five runs in those two games, and the Royals scoring three. Verlander gave up seven runs in his 11.1 innings, while Chen allowed six in 12.1. So clearly, Chen is on more of a roll.

The Old Tigers (i.e. '06 or '07) would rip Chen to shreds tonight
The new ones, I’m not so sure about. I still think we’ll win tonight because it’s a pretty overwhelming matchup. I would’ve preferred to see French tonight and Justin tomorrow but I guess that’s just how the cookie crumbles.

Looks like we're back to the old Justin...
High pitch counts and letting hitters escape with 0-2 counts who then promptly hit base-clearing doubles. I thought he had turned the corner in May, but he seems to have regressed a bit.

Honestly, I think it's about time to start moving Granderson down the lineup with lefties on the mound
He is batting about .190 against LHP this year. He’s been detrimental to our offense when there is a lefty on the mound and I think Leyland has been stubborn by keeping him in that spot.

Take advantage of the fact that it will be easier to just give you a free sandwich than deal with a scene. :)

Flu-like symptoms, Rod tells us.
He also said Marcus looked “mopey.”

More sizes here

And….these are only $173 (as opposed to $200 on the other site. I recommend an Ebay search myself)

This is awful
I own a damn Ordonez jersey, for God’s sake. I am so heartbroken by what has happened, but we need to get rid of him. Such an awful idea, but necessary.

But seriously
Verlander was pitching well except for a couple innings (including this one), and the Tigers have three homers, so go forth tomorrow and claim your Arby’s.

Oooh, Verlander gave the ump a glare on his way back to the dugout
by Ian Casselberry on Jul 7, 2009 8:54 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
He probably had the 2-2 pitch to Dejasus (on which he was squeezed on) in his mind too.
