Around SBN: Tiger Woods Makes His 2012 PGA Tour Debut

Game 103: Tigers at Indians

Detroit Tigers at Cleveland Indians, Aug 2, 2009 1:05 PM EDT


  Armando Galarraga (5-9, 4.84) vs.   Carl Pavano (8-8, 5.66), 1:05 p.m. EST

After getting a crucial win last night that kept them in first place, can the Tigers earn a series win today against the Indians?  And can they do it against a pitcher that has looked brilliant against them this season?  Oh, and how about doing it without going to extra innings?

Has the clock finally struck midnight on Carl Pavano?  In his last two starts, he's allowed 13 runs and 17 hits in 10.2 innings.  Pavano has also served up eight - eight! - home runs in those two games.  It's kind of difficult to imagine the Tigers' lineup doing that to him, however.  Especially with how he's pitched in his two outings against them.  Pavano has a 2-0 record and 2.35 ERA versus the Tigers this season.  Both of those games were at Comerica Park. 

Armando Galarraga is winless in his past four starts (no Christmas in July for him).  And he's fallen into sort of a good start/bad start pattern over those four games.  Considering he gave up four runs in his last appearance, that would seem to put him in line for a good game today.  The last time he faced Cleveland, however, the Tribe touched him up for four runs and nine hits in six innings.  On the road this season, Galarraga has a 2-5 record and 5.23 ERA. 

Both the Tigers and Indians are in need of long outings from their starting pitchers, after playing 25 innings of baseball over the past two nights.  Each team's bullpen is likely pretty tapped out.  Jim Leyland said after last night's game that Brandon Lyon still won't be available after pitching three innings on Friday.  My guess is Fernando Rodney won't see any action, either.  But Zach Miner, Bobby Seay, and Ryan Perry have all pitched the last two nights, as well.

BEFORE WE GET ENGROSSED IN TIGER BASEBALL

Allikazoo and YakAttack and I were talking last night and decided that once the schedule comes out for 2010, we have to pick a date and everyone go to a game together so we can meet in real non-internet life. Maybe a Friday night so if someone is coming in from out of town and has to crash in a hotel for a night they only have to take one day off work, and they can throw it in with a weekend visit to family if they have some in the area.

A Red Wings blog I comment on far too much for what remains of my sanity did that this past season, and it was a blast.

Next season will give everyone plenty of time to plan for it, since the season is running low. So don’t forget!

After the race last night (which was kick ass awesome), I am still in the mood. The Indy Cars were side by side all night. I think Briscoe won by 8 thousands of a second or something. Good Stuff, and I still had time to watch the Tigers win afterwards. Good night, it was.
